I don't currently own one but, I have owned two Rossi 92's in .45 Colt. Did I like them... Yep. My first one was a stainless steel rifle with 24 octagon barrel from Navy Arms. I have to admit the action on that one was pretty rough and the rifle was very touchy regarding cartridge OAL and feeding. At the time I was involved in CAS shooting and I would sometimes share the rifle with other shooters. I never had problems with my ammo but, sometimes other shooters ammo didn't feed so well through the rifle. My second Rossi was an LSI marked 92 rifle also with 24 barrel only this one had case hardened and blued finish. Overall fit and finish seemed to be better on this rifle and this rifle digested everything from black powder hand loads to some pretty hot hunting loads with 300 gr gas checked bullets at near max velocities with H110. Both rifles served me well but I liked the second rifle best.
Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixee?

I was searching for a .44-40 until I read they don't use the correct bore. I might still buy a .480 if I ever see one if I can ever find a Ruger in .480 if they EVER bring them back for real. (Ruger announced the .480 coming back a year ago and then gun sales went insane so they shelved the project along with the Redhawks) I do still plan on buying a .45 Colt but I'm thinking of buying the Ranch Hand instead of the carbine. Maybe. I do like the big loop lever version. Maybe. Money. (sigh)

I've got 2 in .357 currently. One 20 " and one 24". Might add one in 44-40 if one shows up around my area.

I have a 20" octagon barrel .357 mag with case hardened receiver and just bought a 20" octagon .357 mag with blued receiver. This last one has a cowboy action job by Jim Peobles, AKA Johnny Meadows. It should arrive at the FFL Thursday.
At my age, there IS nothing better than shooting.
