Just won this little Rossi .22 on GB for short money. Great little J Frame size .22

Nice. Those Rossi revolvers were great buys in the '90's.

That is nice. I would like a little plinker like that.

Model12Win · August 11, 2018, 08:27 PM

Great tacklebox gun or kit gun.

Nice!

I love a good bargain.

I like it.

Nice! Let us know how it shoots. : )

Help me out here, what is "short money" when buying a Rossi revolver?

mk70ss · August 12, 2018, 08:23 PM

$249

Please excuse,,,, but what does ‘tacklebox or kit gun’ mean?

Congrats OP on a nice score. I have a 1970's vintage Charter Arms 22 with 3" barrel. Its the perfect woods knock around revolver.

mgulino · August 15, 2018, 09:02 AM

OP - Nice plinker for a good price. I have a 70s vintage H&R 9-shot revolver in 22LR that I bought in high school. Carried as a snake pistol in the woods and while fishing.

cnemeth · August 15, 2018, 12:15 PM

A kit or tackle box gun is usually a small, handy .22lr revolver that's included with one's gear when out fishing, hiking, or out working on your land.

Chainsaw. · August 17, 2018, 11:14 PM

Fantastic!

ThomasT · August 20, 2018, 02:24 PM

I like it. Nice trail or truck gun or a gun to have on your hip when fishing. I bought a similar use pistol a few months ago. I picked up an H&R model 732 in 32 long with a 3" barrel. I reload for that round so ammo is cheap for me.

I took it shooting and had a ball with it. Pleasant recoil but enough of a bump so you knew this was not another 22. Don't get me wrong. I like the 22s also. The same day I shot the new 32 long I also took my S&W model 34 with 4" barrel and shot it. I had forgotten how much fun that gun was and how friggen' accurate it is. What neat gun. I hope your Rossi serves you well.

Ricklin · August 20, 2018, 02:49 PM

I have the Taurus 94, I think it is the same...wish I had your hardwood stocks.

Small, accurate, two men and a boy DA trigger pull tho. No real "fix" as the issue is the frame size.

All the J frame size .22's have a heavy DA trigger, I just.thumb cock mine most of the time.

Coincidence I paid 249 at the LGS for mine too.

Oops, looked at your pic again, mine is a 9 shooter, not the same.

Dano4734 · August 21, 2018, 08:52 PM

I love it. I am an old guy and i loved those little revolvers. Hard to find them anymore. I wish i kept my colt

Carl the Floor Walker · August 22, 2018, 06:11 AM

Congrats on a excellent find. I was given this Rossi in 32. Smith and Wesson Long, from a friend whose father had passed away. I honestly do not think he had fired the gun. Sweet little shooter. Very Accurate in single action. Has a hard double action but no big deal.

mk70ss · August 22, 2018, 08:52 AM

Thanks for all the positive comments. Gun is supposed to arrive today at the FFL dealer. Hope I can pick it up this afternoon, if not, then tomorrow.

mk70ss · August 22, 2018, 12:18 PM

Just picked up the new little Rossi. It is in mint condition, perfect bore and cylinder. Glueing is about as good as it gets for a Rossi, grips perfect, and it locks up tight. Trigger is even pretty damn good. $249.00 well spent if it shoots where it is aimed.

smee78 · August 22, 2018, 01:59 PM

Nice addition, I love the little kit gun size revolvers. While the 22LR guns are fun I also prefer the 32Long revolvers, just seems the centerfire guns have better triggers. Hope your new gun shoots as good as it looks.
