Rossi Rifleman

Just something to share ...

Like they say " use it or loose it " so have to take those hand guns out
occasionally.
The .38sp LCR stubby hits were low but still would ruin a guy's day.
My target was at ~ 13 yards while others were staying at 10 yards.

The DW .357mag was redeemed ( I remembered to align the sights
with my left eye ). Double tap attempt didn't work out but will
work on that !

Watched a young couple, him with a 9 and her with a .380. Interesting ...
the Bersa .380 had a double stack mag with a 15 round capacity. I just
may have to look into that. Both were shooting very good at 10 yards.

No doubt the LCR is going to take the fight out of someone. I carry my Rossi 351 all the time, I really like the revolver for carry.

RD. I like that grip on the 351. gives you something to hold on to.
Have they updated the "exposed" firing pin ? That would be a no
go for me, becomes a four shooter instead of a five shot with the
hammer down on an empty chamber but I do like a hammer.

Greetings
Gonna have to look up the Rossi 351.
Last time up carried a Titanium 44 Special with the 2 inch nose. Had been using a 4 inch 41 mag Titanium but finally realized after 5 years a 2 inch was going to be very costly... So went with the 44 Special a fine caliber.

I have the Bersa Thunder in 45ACP and love it. Depending on circumstance and my mood I alternate between it and a compact commander.

Make smoke,

Well the Bersa .380 Plus is out of stock everywhere.
Really prefer to massage a potential purchase but I have the older mod.383A, all steel
.380 and a Thunder Pro .40. So it's not like I'm not familiar with Bersa's. Both function
flawlessly and are more accurate than I am. Time to talk to my favorite LGS and see
if they will order one for me.

Jim, it has a hammer block. Below is the text from the Owner's Manual…

Good to go then !
Friend had an old timey service revolver with the firing pin / hammer.
It had been dropped and went off. fortunately no injuries. He wasn't a firearms person
and I advised him to get rid of it. He gave it to his grown son !!! Pretty sure it was a
Colt and no doubt a collectible.
Hind sight always 20/20 ... should have offered to buy It.

I think maybe half to three quarters of my Smiths are pin in hammer types.
No plans to get rid of them.
