Are These Two Guns The Exact Same Other Than Brand?

Is this Taurus Tracker Talo edition .44 magnum exactly the same gun as the Rossi R44102?


Taurus......


Rossi.......

Don't know, but I expect it would depend, at least partly, on the exact stage of the absorption of Rossi into Taurus that they're from. There were, at least for a while, differences between Rossi and Taurus even under Taurus ownership.

Maybe. It's possible that one is a badge engineered version of the other, but sometimes there are differences even then.

The only difference I can see is the rib between the front sight and the frame on the Rossi seems to be missing on the Taurus.

The taurus looks like it has a recessed cylinder while the rossi doesn't.

The Taurus has the plastic firing pin protector on the back of the cylinder.
