I wanted the 16" for light/easy/quick handling. The 16" is still more than enough barrel for .357 to reach it's peak.

oops....ur right (part numbers are close) 56018 for .357 and 57018 for .45 colt.

Sorry bout that. I just checked them to see if they actually had any in stock.....that is where I got mine about 6 Months ago. And that was after about a week of extensive searches online, they were the only one I found that had them in stock.

Here ya go.....

455.00 for 16" and 495.00 for 20" (plus shipping and cc fees).

I had the Henry. Loved the look but hated the loading tube. Also hated the weight of the octagon barrel. Like carrying around a 4ft crowbar!

So, I ended up selling to to a Forum member (who loves it) and I bought a new Rossi M92, 16" Stainless Model R92-56018. Price around 500-525 if you can find one.

Carlson1 just picked up a new one of the same model for a killer price. Maybe he will comment here as well.

Here is a picture of that model (not mine but same as mine).

Still got the "Bling" but with the standard loading gate and light enough to carry all day. I tried to find a Umberti but they are harder to find than the Rossi (and cost much more as well). The 1892 action is the strongest made in a lever gun. And there are many customizations that can be made to these Rossi's that turn them into a snot slick, light trigger carbine.

.357 Mag for many reasons. All good ones....
