I had a Rossi 720, 5-shot 44 Special in the late eighties. It seemed to me a very nicely made gun and I liked it a lot except that I had been spoiled by the feathery Charter Bulldogs - so it seemed heavy for concealment. All the same a very nice revolver.

The one thing that I most appreciated was the grip. To date, I believe that it was the single most comfortable, well-shaped and controllable grip I have ever experienced on a revolver. I might even have kept my S&W 624 if I could have fitted that specific pair of rubber grips on it. Glad to see it is still available. This is very tempting.

Nice looking, I have the Taurus in Ultralite, just stick it in my pocket, or I made a nice holster that keeps it high on the belt so the shirt or jacket hangs over it.......Are you a leather man, Ranch Dog

No, I use a Ross Leather slide.

Here is another picture. I ALWAYS carry two spare mags with my semi-autos, so no different with my revolver. Two speed loads on the support side. The stainless is my Taurus 605 357 Mag.

Are the two model 85 Ultra Lite guns made with a alloy frame ? Or is the weight difference because they are 5 shot VS the 6 shot model 85,s

I'm just starting to get into the smaller guns.
Here in CA we are REALLY limited in what we can have and the AG K.Harris is trying everything possible to make that exactly nothing.
