My SIL has an older Rossi snub nose .357. Guess you'd call it a clone of a S&W model 66. It does go bang every time. The ejector rod tends to unscrew itself so need some Loctite to fix that. The trigger is really, really bad, not in pull weight but it has some kind of catch about halfway through. Not sure if that is common on this year Rossi or what but I'd imagine a gunsmith could help it out with out breaking the bank.

The only other issue is the grip/frame size. The ****** finger groove stocks fell apart last time he had them off and the gun isn't the same as a S&W K frame or any other S&W so he found a NOS pair of stocks to replace the trashed originals. Not great but the are new and crack free stocks.

It was way cheaper than an M66 snubby but I'm not sure I'd carry it at all let alone the way it is.
