    Default rossi ranch hand?

    hey all, what do you think of this new rossi ranch hand?
    http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbu...ssi-Ranch-Hand

    its a 12 inch 357/38 or 44 or 45lc lever action pistol.

    is it epic win or epic fail? and has anyone seen one in person?

    best short deer hunting implement ever?

    That thing was on the cover of a gun rag I get. My first thought was "cool, that looks like a fun gun!" Then, I actually thought about it and realized that it makes a lousy pistol and a lousy rifle with the almost non-existent stock, so I'm not sure what the point is other than the Hollywood factor.

    You can never have enough horsepower or ammunition.

    It might be a good woods gun. I'm guessing they had to make the stock so small so that they could call it a pistol instead of a short barreled rifle.

    Plus, think how cool it would look in a thigh rig.

    While I think it looks awesome, thats about where the reasons to buy it end. You can get the same capacity and calibers in a revolver but with much quicker follow up shots. That being said, I have a thing for lever actions and would probably pick one up if I had the extra cash.

    You know a true lover of firearms when they can say, "That is dumb. I want one."

    It looks fun but dosen't do well as a pistol or a rifle, IMO. Buuuut, in my sick little head; get one, put a full length stock on it, pay your $200, and have an awesome lever action SBR.

    Reconsidering......
