I picked up a old Rossi model 68 with a 3 inch barrel in 38 special for $130 at a pawn shop.
Its in 90% condition only has a little surface rust on a few areas and the lock is tight and has a weird circle cylinder release.I put 100 rounds through it and had no issues I was getting 1-2 inch groups at 5-10 yards had a stout amount of recoil and I was shooting it with a wooden grip not as comfortable as a rubber grip would be otherwise a very good revolver for what I paid.
I put Remington 130 grain FMJ's through it and it was very good ammo.
Every person on a budget should pick up one of these revolvers over a Jennings or a Lorcin. Its reliable and reasonably accurate even with the short barrel and makes a good car and home defense gun for the money.
I would not buy a new Taurus or New Rossi there are gunshops in my area that stop carrying them because they have a high return rate and are losing money from it.If I see another one for sale at that price range I would buy it again since its a good quality revolver at a "saturday night special" price.In this economy I thought I got a good deal and any of you that own one of these chime in and tell me your experience with them.
