Rossi M720 Holster

[75Vette]

I'm trying to find an owb holster for a Rossi 44 spl w/ a 4" barrel and non-fluted cylinder. It's supposed to fit a k frame holster but everyone I've seen is formed for a fluted cylinder. Help!

Any holster made for a 4 in. K or L frame S&W will work. I wouldn't worry about the forming for the flutes. They'll iron themselves out in time. That Rossi is a VERY nice carry gun. Good find. Wish I had bought one when they were common and cheap.

My Model 720 is the "Covert" version with the bobbed hammer and fixed sights. The barrel length on mine is 3.0 inches, and it fits K-framed sized holsters nicely.

Dave,

Are those Rossi specific Pachmayr grips on your M720? I recently gave my M720 to my oldest son, and I think he would like grips like those.

Thanks!

Hi Rick:

To my knowledge, Pachmayr is the only manufacturer of after-market grips for the Rossi Model 720. A fellow Forum member once posted photos of his Model 720 equipped with a set of Hogue (rubber) Mono-grips. When questioned, he said he purchased the revolver used, with the Hogues in place. He was kind enough to remove the grips and said they were J-frame sized grips. On my Model 720, there is a pin protruding from the bottom of the frame that prevents the Hogues from being mounted. I suppose the pin could be cut or ground off (replacing it shouldn't be difficult), and this may end up being a winter project for me. I shoot the old cowboy .44 Special rounds out of mine (200 gr. bullet moving slow), and I still need some better fitting grips for the piece.

Regards,

Dave
