Rossi's at the Range
Took my new to me M515 and M518 to the range for the first time yesterday. What nice guns to shoot and very accurate. I had a little trouble with the M515 not pushing the cylinder release all the way back when closing the cylinder. I think it just needs a good cleaning. Neither of these guns have been shot much (if at all) and are really good bargains in today's market place. I paid under $300 for the M518. If you want an inexpensive .22 kit gun give one of these a look. The M515's were only imported for a short time and are harder to find. I got lucky at a local gun show last week. The DA triggers on these guns are very, very nice.

I just picked up a ROSSI SS 38 snubbie yesterday and it seems to be quality built. I'm glad to hear your report.

I have a 4 inch stainless .22 Rossi revolver, older model than yours, bought around 1994.
It is a very good revolver and quite accurate (my accuracy standard starts at 2,5 at 25 meters).

The only Rossi firearm I've ever owned, a Model 88, was a clone of the S&W M60. I bought it new for $189, twenty years ago, and carried it daily for a year or two until I could afford the Smith J-frame that has been my EDC ever since.
I got a couple of snide remarks from people--"I wouldn't want to trust my life to a cheap gun"--but the Rossi was perfectly reliable, accurate for a snubby, and very little below S&W quality in fit and finish. Trigger wasn't bad at all, and improved when I had a smith polish the innards and polish and radius the trigger face. I liked the gun, felt adequately protected carrying it, and wish I had kept it as a spare pocket piece.
