My 1980s Rossi works great, is smooth and accurate. I inherited it.

Again, you have two questions going.

1: is a Rossi worth buying.
2: Is $375 appropriate for THIS Rossi.

I think a gun is better than no gun.
I think a good gun is better than an average gun.
I am happy with my Rossi .38.
I shoot my Ruger more.

As to the price, it is higher than what I would pay for a used Rossi.
Is this a BrazTech Rossi? Or Interarms imported?

BrazTech is (i believe) the new parent company, which also owns Taurus. If it is Braztech, i believe it has the same lifetime warranty.

Interarms ones are no longer supported by warranty or parts.

My 80s Rossi is interarms. Take the warranty issue into consideration on any used Rossi purchase.
