Rossi 44mag for $269

[Patton]

I am wondering if anyone has bought one of the new Rossi 44mag snub nosed revolvers at Academy? I went and looked at one and honestly it reminded me a lot of its cousin the Judge which I have had some weak primer strikes with. The 44 mag I held seamed to actually be tight and a decent trigger. They had them for $249 on Black Friday but I didnt want to fight the crowd. Since I have a rifle in 44mag so I'd like to have a pistol to shoot the same and have a large stash of 44mag ammo is another reason. Edited December 19, 2012 by Patton

I owned the Taurus Tracker 44 mag which is similar to the Rossi and was a fine revolver. No issues with it at all. Only reason I sold it was it was too big for daily carry. The Rossi looks like it would be a nice carry gun with a hell of an impact.

I know the short barrel takes away from the velocity but it really was a decent size. Definetly a K/L frame size, I know it's a handful. I wouldn't be so intrested but for the price it's hard to beat.

Do you reckon they still have one today? Yesterday they didn't have much of anything. :wave:

They had one (some) yesterday, or at least the Hixson one did.

Can't speak to that 44, but I have a 461 (the K sized .357) and really enjoy it for the $229 I paid for it on black friday last year. Haven't shot it that much, but it hasn't missed a beat yet and has a lifetime warranty for what it's worth.
