I also have a couple of Rossi R92's. First acquired a NIB blued 20" in 44 mag in 2013 and the second is a 16" slightly used "safe queen" stainless .357 mag. Since the .44 was NIB, I didn't immediately "void the warranty" shooting re-loads. The .44 mag got at least 20 factory loads on the first outing to prove it's worthiness - then at least 1500 re-loads since. Considering the .357 mag was bought used and no longer had a factory warranty (which is a joke anyway), it's never seen a factory round from me but has delivered no less than 1000 reloads downrange. Due to a somewhat debilitating medical issue I had to endure in 2016, my equilibrium has almost forced me to shoot long guns from the bench, and these two R92's have definitely become a passion. Both required a bit of "fluff and buff" attention to the internals and both got stock refinishing within the first couple of weeks of ownership, but for the price (at the time) the R92's turned out to be great. Unfortunately, Taurus/Braztec/whoever seems to be driving the Rossi brand into the ground. Hopefully, Rossi will make a successful comeback some day (again).
