I owned a Rossi 92 in .44 magnum about 20 years ago. I had looked at them a few years earlier, but those carbines were so stiff that you could barely cycle the action. The one that I bought seemed okay, although the wood on the rifle seemed to weep oil even if you wiped it off. The fit and finish seemed a little rough, but the price was right.
Out of the box it would not cycle ammunition, and required a strip-down to polish and stone areas where loaded rounds were hanging up.
Afterwards it was reasonably reliable.
The rifling was the most shallow that I had ever seen on a firearm, which was worrisome since I wanted to shoot .44-40 class handloads from it.
Well, it also proved to be the least accurate rifle with cast bullets that I ever owned in a lifetime of shooting.
It keyholed at 50 yards. The only rifle that I ever owned that did. I never did shoot it with factory ammunition, so it might have done better.
But it clearly wasn't suitable for my needs.
On the other hand a friend claimed that his earlier Puma .44 magnum Rossi was quite accurate. The luck of the draw, I suppose.
I can't comment on the quality of the 92 Rossis made in the last several years, other than having read a review from about 6 years back where the author commented on the very poor wood to metal fit of the sample that he was shooting.
It's very possible that these earlier inconsistent manufacturing problems have been resolved, but for myself, I would not buy one unless I inspected it thoroughly beforehand.
I ran across this review from 2010.
