Rossi Revolvers Are Back! The RM64: A Full Review

[@Mowkade]

Great video thank you for all the effort you put into it. This Rossi will be my next purchase. I’m a bit of a Rossi head. I already own the RP 63 as well as the M 68 in both 2 inch and 3 inch.

[@DaGunGuy]

Thanks for the compliment & watching! Glad you liked it.

Really nice gun great review. For the money really hard to beat.

[@DaGunGuy]

TY

[@Denman500.]

I have the RP63 and it shoots great.

[@Mowkade]

In regards to the Rossi grips being small I think it’s probably because it’s a South American company. For me having very small hands these are revolvers are just right.

[@cml44spec1]

I hope they will bring back the 720 in 44 special as well

[@davidkachel]

Compare the Rossi and any Taurus, side-by-side. The difference in quality is HUGE. Buy the Rossi!!

[@Marcus-rg7bg]

Say what u will about rossi. They are made with love. U can see that. I have one.

[@JackSmith-fj6sn]

Fell for the Rossi RP63. Jams up. Returned for warranty repair twice. Rossi determined gun unrepairable. Shipped new gun. After paying for yet another background check for the replacement gun i sold it as soon as i got it back. The Rossi line is an excellent gun for those who don't care if a gun functions or not.

Nice Video and complete, I like Rossi Hand Guns but have not seen them in any Local Gun Store. Medium Frame Revolvers are the Best, Thanks for the review......

[@cruzerlououtdoors1940]

I had a Rossi 971 VRC , it was a sweet little.357, but I sold it to pay for my M1A. I really wish I’d have sold something else as I REALLY liked and miss that gun .

[@Darrick-r2v]

I never knew the manual told you how to shoot the gun. Do all manufacturers do that? Also does it take full on .357 or does it warn against using .357 all the time?

[@DaGunGuy]

It’s hit or miss. Pun intended. Some manuals will tell you what the recommended hold is for a specific gun and on others, you just kind of need to figure it out.

[@Marcus-rg7bg]

I found some old papers im guessing belonged to grandad. Guns were dirt cheap. 40 bucks. Could be ordered and sent directly to house from a newspaper. Crazy how times change.

[@Grumpyin]

I have a Question about the Rossi Revolvers. Does that firing pin sit directly on the bullet ? Does it have a firing pin block ?

[@DaGunGuy]

It uses a hammer block to prevent the firing pin from sitting on the cartridge unless the trigger is pressed in. We talk about it in the drop safety section. 👍

[@rainsilversplash4376]

So it appears to me, the Rossi is similar to a "K Frame" S&W, while the Taurus is more akin to an "L Frame" S&W.

[@DaGunGuy]

That's probably a fair way to say it even thought the Taurus 66 is really a SW 66 clone - which, I think, would make it a K frame BUT as fair as relation to overall size - yes.

[@williamhsmithjr2991]

Taurus has the Tracker .357 Magnum 4” Barrel, model 327 Which is better???

[@DaGunGuy]

I haven’t shot the tracker, so I couldn’t really give an opinion BUT if anyone here has, would love to hear your thoughts!

[@michigunsanta8680]

357 is the ultimate self defense handgun cartridge…..until you shoot one inside with no hearing protection!?! 😳🤦🏻‍♂️😅 Have you ever done it? I have, man my ears rang for days and I thought i may had caused permanent hearing damage. Luckily I hadn’t. 😮‍💨

[@DaGunGuy]

I have not BUT a good friend of mine did and he did lose some hearing. Glad you didn't. Shooting without eyes and ears, inside, in a self-defense situation is not gonna be fun for anyone involved.

[@user-qg5ki5lg6s]

Sorry, just me, but I’m not comfortable with a hammer mounted firing pin especially a replaceable one? Gotta be a reason most other major manufacturers use an internal one.

[@youknow9092]

Internal firing pins are relatively new. Smith & Wesson used the same exact design being a replaceable hammer mounted firing pin on their revolvers until 1997.

[@user-qg5ki5lg6s]

@@youknow9092 Yep, I know. Thanks!

[@youknow9092]

@@user-qg5ki5lg6s so for 143 years revolvers that used metallic cartridges used hammer mounted firing pins, and you find them uncomfortable because a different design has been out for 27 years?

[@1nfamyX]

Yeah there is a reason, same reason revolvers had an internal lock from the clinton era. Its not a just reason.

[@robwilson3749]

All it is are two separate ways to achieve the same goal as far as making these guns unable to discharge unless the trigger is pulled. Both styles are old, storied methods that have been in use for decades and decades preventing unintended discharges. And as far as replaceable pins are concerned, transfer bar initiated pins fail as well. They wear down and break just like any other pin used for repeated strikes. Hammer mounted versus trigger bar mechanisms... What's old is new again. Six to one half dozen the other. Same difference. More than one way to skin a cat and all that.

[@jeffanon1772]

With so many quality used S&W's available I see no reason to drop down to lesser brands like Rossi or Taurus...

[@DaGunGuy]

I don’t necessarily agree with your supposition that Smith is a superior quality firearm. At least, not those made in the last several years.
