There a great buy if you can find them , i have heard that S&W parts will work in it as how close Rossi built these to near S&W standards. not alot of info can be found on them as many say there clones, I have heard S&W sent engineers to Rossi to help them build better guns as they where once owed by the same company as a groups holdings.

Could be that S&W sold the frames to Rossi as this was close to S&W going to the locks on there guns. but the gun is a clone of the S&W model 60 and it can be found with pinned barrels and non pinned barrels just like S&W which changed to non-pinned around 1982. it's made of slainless steel and not a cheap product to work with if one is just selling knock-offs.
