Excessively heavy trigger return spring makes for a really tough double action on those revolvers. In the 70s they retailed for around $125 all day long.

No that was about the least expensive revolver on the market they could usually be found for $100+ tax. They were the inexpensive handguns before the Makarov pistols showed up in the late 80s. The Rossi was ok except for the heavy trigger. Take a couple coils off of the trigger return spring and they were not to bad. They were not +P rated so not as much energy as a 9mm out of a 4”.

@@WheelgunsOnWheels lol well if you want to get technical in the era they were coming in they were priced at over twice the cost of a SNS. The Saturday night guns were under $50. The frames were made of zink instead of steel or aluminum. Heck back then Glocks were still looked at as something that would not last.

@@randallupton3622 yes there certainly were worse models available back then, but I had the pleasure of owning this exact revolver back in 1995 and it was no work of art by any definition. You almost needed two fingers on the trigger to drag it through it’s crunchy and obscene resistance only to have the point of impact end up about a foot below it’s point of aim at 10 yards. I sold it to a pawn shop for around 125 bucks and never looked at a Rossi or Taurus again. Now Taurus has definitely improved some over the years and puts out a few decent firearms these days, but a Rossi circa 1990 is as close to a Saturday night special as I’d ever care to get.

Nice little Rossi, I cringed a little bit when you laid it down on that block 🚫 😜 I would have slid that beauty into my waist band . Nice video BTW

Dude. I hope you’ve at least got some eye protection on. Standing at 5 yards from flat faced solid target is a super likely way to catch a ricochet. There’s a lot of energy in that round and I’ve seen first hand a ricochet take a front tooth right out. Be safe my friend.

That Rossi is much newer than you think. They were imported by FIE in the 1970's. Yours imported by Interarms, don't see pinned barrel, rear sight machined into top strap. This gun is early to mid 1990's production.

I'm drooling! Beautiful old style revolver. People always asking if these guns are plus P but I see you are shooting 158gn flat-nosed rnds going 936fps! How much more powerful of a load do you need than that? I'll take that gun and that box of ammo(I have Sellier&Bellot .38Spl. and it's up around 992fps. For LRN bullets) .That's a hard hittin' .38 and one damn tough ol' cinder block! What model did you sat that was?

You don’t know me, so you don’t know anything about my judgment. I don’t even have that Rossi anymore, it was one of the many undisclosed amount of firearms I have. The bullet mushrooms on impact and falls inches underneath where it hit, so no ricochet

nothing all that bad about a rossi if you have a good one. nothing all that good shooting without eye protection.

me da la sensación de imprudencia o desconocimiento básico de las leyes de la física, sin ánimo de ofender.
