Rossi R98106

Thinking of getting a Rossi 22 revolver, i already have a single action Heritage 22/22 mag, i would like to have a 22 in double action, anyone have any experience with Rossi firearms, also the reason i'm going with Rossi instead of Taurus is i can get the gun in blued finish.

I don't have a .22 Rossi but the .357 I have has the best out of the box trigger I have ever had. It's very smooth and it breaks at 4 pounds.

Thank you for the get back, i wish i could handle a 357, but the hands can't take the recoil anymore, even 38spl is a no no for me, 22-22 mag is all i can handle.

I have their model R46102 .357 magnum revolver. It has never given me any trouble.

Nothing inherently wrong with Rossi but my opinion would be to spend a little more money on a ruger such as a sp101 model 5765 or the new gp100 .22. I'd note that the LCR 22 is very nice in a polymer revolver. Of course they cost a fortune but S&W and Colt both made beautiful da 22lr revolvers. Colt 22 police positive might be sub-500 range too.

High standard double nine looks neat too...

I thank all of you for your replies, it is good to know that Rossi 357s are a good revolver for the money, that makes me think that a Rossi 22 would be just as good for the money spent on one, to those who say just spend a little more for a xxx, i see no need to spend $400 to $700 on a 22 double action revolver just because it's a Ruger or a S&W, that is just too overpriced for a 22, i do not shoot in competition, i plink at golf balls, tin cans and paper targets, and yes, i carry a 22 for SD as it is all i can handle, i like blued over stainless, and i prefer a 6 inch barrel over a 2 or 4 inch barrel, i hope i have cleared up any questions reguarding my question about Rossi 22 revolvers.

Enjoy it! Shooting golf balls is fun!

I've never owned one of their .22 revolvers, but the .38spl Model 68 and .44spl Model 720(both pre-Taurus) I had/have worked perfectly.

I had a .357 cyclops. Big heavy gun. Nice trigger accurate as all get out.

With these latest replies it looks like i will be getting one of these before summer, maybe if i hint enough, the wife might get it for me as a birthday present.
