We've had two in the family for about 30+years now (I believe they were both purchased in the late 70's), a rifle version (20" barrel I think), and the gallery model (16" barrel). The shorty has run perfect from day one, the rifle version had an issue feeding the last round in the magazine, but was easily fixed with a trigger from a Winchester model 62. Both of these are obviously older than you are looking at, and from what I have seen by handling the newer versions (and some word of mouth), the newer ones aren't up to the same quality as the older Rossi's.......... But other than handling one in the store, I have to real experience with them.
I just recalled my dad did purchase another stainless gallery model in the early 90's, and ended up taking it back to the store........I want to say it had feeding issues, but can't really remember for sure.
