My Dad's cheap gun.

[Shorty 45 MK2]

Very nice story and revolver.

I've handled a few of the older Rossi's I wouldn't mind one of their .44 Spl snubs.

Nice revolver, built when craftsmanship meant something.
Congratulations.

I have an old Rossi 22 that's about 25 years old, it's never missed a beat.

Nice pistol.. I'm partial to S&W and Ruger but you have a very nice revolver..

Your post reminds me of my "pinto". It has a blued frame and barrel, and a nickle cylinder. It isn't a high quality gun, but it shoots well and has a butter smooth action.

The important part is that my grandfather bought it new and kept it in his camper while he and my grandmother traveled around the country. He was a thrifty fellow as well.

These things transcend market value. I wouldn't take anything for mine. I bet you wouldn't part with yours either.

IMHO, your Dad was not cheap - he was frugal. Cherish his / your gun.

Nice Rossi. First snubbie I purchased. 2" barrel blued. Had a choice of it or a Charter arms undercover for the same money. Liked the Rossi better.
