Rossi 462

**cruzans** · October 21st, 2010, 02:08 PM

Anyone familiar with the Rossi 462 ( ss 357 mag snub ). I am looking at bobbing the hammer and getting some new grips. Is it a true J frame ? Will J frame grips fit ? I have heard people debate whether it is J frame, or K frame or neither. As far as trigger, would it just be one that would fit a 38 snub - are they fairly generic as long as it is the right type ( firing pin mounted, flat, etc. ) ? Thanks

Thanks. Just noticed I said trigger for the second question but meant hammer. Looking to bob the hammer and didn't know if I should just have it ground down, or if I wanted to buy a new hammer, are they somewhat "generic" ? Thanks

Cruzans i must say that i bought a 462 about a year ago and i must say that it is one of my favorite carry guns certainly my favorite caRRy revolver.
Awesome Gun, i have the high polish SS the one that looks like Chrome, beautifully made and polished Gun could not find a fault with it (except the heavy trigger) and i own 2 smiths to compare.

No, nothing from Smith &Wesson will fit it , it is bigger than a Jframe because it is a 6 shot gun , it is the same size of a Colt D frame detective special , the Don Hume Holsters for the Colt detective special fit perfectly.

Join us over at www.taurusarmed.net to find out more about the 462, just scroll down to the Rossi page.

obtw , mine is dead on accurate at 21 yards with Speer Dold Dot 125 grn ammo.

Cruzan , let me know if they fit, i would get some too.

The Guy from Thailand who makes these grips is very popular over on the Taurus/Rossi board.

I will. Looked at his site a little further, and he has the same grips listed for Taurus small frame revolvers, so I think I will order them. I am sure I'll have to do a little work to get them to fit right, like drill an indend on both sides at the bottom for the posts, and maybe some other "tweeks". For the money, I think it's worth a try !
