Roosi 720 in 44 Special. 3in
My opinion, Rossi's best built handgun. I chose to install a hammer on mine. My main ccw.

I was tempted by one of these last weekend. It was the Rossi or the security six 6in. Went with Ruger.[/QUO
Excellent choice. Both are wonderful guns.
That is a real beauty, looks like the perfect handgun.Roosi 720 in 44 Special. 3in

+1! The Brazilians had a golden age between about '85 and '95. Quality before that was about the same as the Spanish Basque-region gun makers like Astra and Star, but after that era has been slipping steadily.The older Taurus and Rossi guns were actually very good quality (before about 1995). I used to work for a dealer and we sold and did work on them and they were quite nice for the price. No QC issues at all. But current models do have a lot of problems and should be avoided. I wish now that I had bought a few of those older Taurus and Rossi revolvers. You could easily get a nice trigger pull on them with the original factory parts. I have been a huge fan of .44 Spl. snubs since about 1985. When S&W announced the introduction of their Model 696 L frame .44 Spl. I bought the first one I saw for $400. Those guns are going for close to $1000 today (or more). It is still my main carry gun today and I have not found anything better - the DA pull is the best I have ever felt on any S&W revolver (after a little work). The .44 Spl. is a fantastic cartridge. The early Taurus models were available in blued steel and stainless. Not sure about the Rossi guns - I think they were all stainless. With any of the .44 Spl. snubs DO NOT run high velocity light bullet +P Corbon/Buffalo Bore loads in them - they will greatly accelerate wear and they are not needed. A 200 gr. or heavier bullet will do the job and will not abuse the gun.
