Truth be told any firearm can malfunction or experience a mechanical failure (I have in the past year witnessed two competing vendor revolvers experience failures to eject shells from cylinder chambers (requiring polishing to resolve)--BAD QC) . As someone else already stated, I wouldn't let one bad experience bias me against an entire segment of firearms (revolvers and this coming from a semi-auto guy). Personally I would not have tried disassembly absent the presence of a qualified gunsmith for fear of voiding the warranty...
So in essence, 1) hopefully your firearm will be repaired 2) in the meantime you find a similar revolver (plethora of similar models available) 3) the semi-auto (Glock) route you are considering would require a bit more training but doable if willing...
BTW, I would like to hear a follow-up on the Rossi repair process.
--Happy New Year
