Guess I can stop looking for octagon barreled or case hardened color versions, apparently they don't make them anymore according to their 2017 catalog. Hell, I don't even see any 24" barrel anything.

How about the used market?
I have this weird hang up where I don't buy used firearms. I know I know.
Different strokes. Some of my favorites were not available new or were out of my price range. Some of the used stuff is far better than the new examples (Marlins, for example).
I've shot the Winchester, seems like a longer stroke and a noticeably heavier gun. The Rossi size and weight is one of it's nice attributes.No doubt, I am sure I am missing out on a lot.
I guess what's going to happen is I am going to have to just bite the bullet and spend the extra on a Winchester.

I have no intention to ever scope it.
So strange about the .357/.38, I mean, that has to be a super common/popular caliber.
Agree fully. I guess you can either wait, pay up for a Winchester, or reconsider the 45LC Rossi, which seems to be more available.
This all stems from me already having a Blackhawk in .357, I want to match calibers. Guess I could swap the revolver.
I just called a gun shop in Franklin, TN that I browse occasionally and they have one blued new .38/.357 M92 on hand with a 20" barrel. Price is $599, a bit high but hen's teeth aren't plentiful and are hard to find. Their phone number is 615-599-5562, hours of operation are M-F 10-6, Saturday 9-4, closed Sunday and Monday. They will ship it to your FFL.
Yes they do, www.franklingunshop.com but it doesn't list their inventory as they claim to have over 6,000 guns in stock. This is a big store and in a very high income area of the greater Nashville area so their prices reflect that demographic. You're welcome, glad to help.That's awesome. I appreciate it. I will have to give them a call. Do they have a website by chance?

So I am kind of torn. The shipping is $30 for the rifle, then I'll need to pay my FFL another $30 for the transfer, so I am looking at around $660 for this rifle. I mean is this like a unicorn in this caliber or you think they'll make more? I wish I knew more about Rossi/BrazTech's production habits. There's just something that rubs me the wrong way about coming out over MSRP for a gun.
At those prices you could about buy a Henry in 357.
If the Henry's were side gate loading this case would be open and shut.
Eh, its not all its cracked up to be. I have plenty of fun shooting a Marlin 39A without the benefit of a loading gate.
Yeah, I have a Marlin Model 60, it's a fine gun but I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed the cumbersome reloading when compared to other options. Just not my thing.
