This is the 1st Buffalo Outdoors video notification that i have received in a long time.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

It’s been a couple weeks since my last upload. Glad to hear they are sending out notifications for it! Thanks.

[@ronmartblog]

@@buffalosoutdoorswe miss you buddy

[@joeytomato]

I just posted that I'd been unsubbed... for no reason. I was several videos behind, and also noticed I was unsubbed from 3 other channels... all gun channels. I wouldn't be surprised if the notifications weren't coming thru.

[@redfaux74]

​@@ronmartblog- He's had several "shorts" come out this summer. They were good. Go back and watch them.

[@jbazan11]

Same here!!

[@josepha.freivaldsr.9636]

It's not that I really hate you; it's that I'm almost insanely jealous at how well you didle with and shoot revolvers! When young, I considred myself a pretty good pistol shot -- single action at rocks and targets and double action for rolling cans -- but I never, ever, came anywhere close to what you do without fanfare or getting arrogant. WOW! and with the greatest kudos! Please keep up this wonderful stuff.

[@redfaux74]

I'm a good shot too but I was never jealous of anyone. I'm always happy to see another person get blessings from God.

[@josepha.freivaldsr.9636]

I hoped everyone got my low-brow humor in the jealousy remark but apparently you took me seriously. With pistoleers of my day, jealousy wasn't actually often encountered -- on a fun day anyone in the crowd could beat anyone. I absoluely agree regarding blessings from the Great God. @@redfaux74

[@buffalosoutdoors]

THanks so much for the kind words! I do struggle sometimes with my shooting, I have bad days like anyone else. Those days I'm not so inspired to get the video equipment out and make videos if you know what I mean! LOL! but it's all fun, I truly enjoy that I get to do this and hearing feedback from folks like you makes it all the more worthwhile!

[@josepha.freivaldsr.9636]

Carry on, good sir. Carry on.@@buffalosoutdoors

[@ctsnider88]

It's good to have you back and you haven't lost your touch.

[@davidroderick1493]

What an absolute great presentation. Slow, precise, great graphics, damn good. You are a treasure to the gun world.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@reinaldogarcia70]

I agree 100 % Great video

[@wildbill6233]

WOW!!! Just in the nick of time. I was having really bad Buffalo withdrawal. Really good looking wheeler buddy.

[@brianklamer3328]

I bought the 3 inch RP63 with the sniper green Cerakote finish. Excellent DA and SA trigger, good impact to point of aim, absolutely love it. Thanks for the video.

[@darrelldickerson9696]

Glad to see Rossi back and Buffalo too

[@2Aknight762]

I love that it has the hammer firing pin, 34 ounces is very light for a 6 inch steel revolver.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I like that too. It kinda sets it apart from the crowd.

[@paulkube3901]

Wow! Inexpensive copy of a S&W m-66! Makes the new Henry look like a grown up RG starter pistol

[@duncan0wood]

I hope that rossi will be making more models. I appreciate the look of a Smith, at a taurus price.

[@joesephkingston1621]

2 things I really enjoyed in this video. 1. The brick shaped red dust cloud that hung in the air for a few moments after the impact. 2. The clear and excellently done Picture in Picture with the target during the accuracy check. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated.

[@scottroder5516]

I agree

[@dco122]

I like that Mrs Buffalo set him up a lane in the flower patch.

[@araneaetvelivolum1086]

My first revolver is a Taurus 66 in satin stainless steel. I am madly in love with that gun. 4" barrel allows me to carry it and otherwise, it shoots very smooth and I feel I'm in control hitting where I am aiming. Did you ever publish a video how keep your gun nice and shiny after usage? I got the lead remover towel and stainless steel cleaner but you might have a trick or two up your sleeve😊

[@mastermechanicfelipe4641]

thanks for the video, I think I'm sold on it

[@ejsocci2630]

Great gun for the money and I am a.357 guy, thanks.

[@andrewpinheiro7202]

This looks more attractive to me than the current production s&w 686 i love the old ones but they can keep all the new ones key holes and all

[@scubaguy007]

That is a nice-looking revolver. That brick shot was fun to watch. The squirrels in your area must be scared to death. 😉

[@rbee914]

From my perspective, you are quite the shooter and Rossi has a very formidable little revolver. God bless my friend.

[@stephenbramel9395]

Thanks for reviewing I’ve really been looking hard at this!

[@rustyshackleford1235]

Love both of my Rossi revolvers!

[@kentowens2179]

Nice looking revolver.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks Kent!

[@chrisgabbert658]

👍😊 good all around revolver.

[@enzolucignano8373]

Che arma!! Bellissima!!

[@DrumandPianoDude]

Great video! I currently carry a 4" S&W Model 64 concealed, and have a sizable revolver collection. You definitely got me looking at the Rossi!

[@garyK.45ACP]

Thanks for not forgetting revolvers, Buffalo! Great video! 👍👍

[@richardkut3976]

Thank you, very nice demonstration, excellent production.

[@Iceaxehikes]

First 10 seconds. Incredible.

[@bigolemike33]

Good looking gun Buff.

[@hleigh842]

I am watching this with my early morning cup of coffee and thinking this is a precursor to what it is like every morning if I make it to heaven. I am headed to my local gun store this morning to pick up my own RM 66, loading ammo this afternoon and shooting tomorrow morning. Thank you sir.

[@Kenbur]

great review Buffalo - thank you. enjoyed it.

[@geetarman58]

Another great video! Thanks Buffalo!

[@lenculpepper9150]

Always had a thing for beautiful Rossi wheel guns! This new generation of them has done nothing to douse that flame. Great video

[@stevengipson5922]

Very nice looking Revolver!! I own the two inch snub nose Rossi 357 in stainless steel. It’s an awesome back-up while provides enough fire power to take down whatever you’re firing at. By the way, excellent shooting at that distance. You’ve put in a lot of time. It shows!! Enjoyed the video!!🇺🇸

[@torbenqvist7730]

Nice review. Thank you Buffalo

[@nearrlegend6741]

I have an RP63 3" and I absolutely love it!! Great video, thank you Buffalo!

[@Lordestroyer]

Thanks for the review! Seems like a nice gun for less than $500!

[@PierreDenonville]

I was looking at different options for a 357 revolver purchase. I own A couple of model 92 rossi rifles and I am very happy with them. I came across this Rossi hand gun review of yours and I was very impressed and ended up purchasing this hand gun. I looked at your other video's and enjoy them immensely. Keep up the good work. Thanks

[@atomross13]

Nice Rossi revolver, thanks for the video.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

You’re welcome and thank you for watching!

[@calebsrccrawlers]

I saw the hammer mounted firing pin and was like sold! That’s awesome.

[@gillysguns9244]

Thats a nice looking handgun. Seems to shoot well too!

[@elsullo2]

Your videos are always useful and refreshing: no shouting like a hyper-excited football TV commentator; no arm waving or talking too fast to understand; no flag waving or yelling "YOWLLL" every sentence; just peaceful and useful exposition like a next-door neighbor. THANKS for being our neighbor!..............................elsullo

[@exothermal.sprocket]

I could give one KZbin example of most of those other traits. Hahaha

[@richki.24]

nice looking revolver

[@stevekeller8818]

Thanks for bringing us along nice revolver.

[@johnnydogman1202]

Thank you Buffalo, great job

[@jimchambers7548]

I've been wanting the 3in, 6 shots of 357mag is plenty for me

[@Quality_Guru]

A revolver without gutter sights. Now they just need to add a fiber optic front sight. Looking forward to their 22LR version.

[@Ink-eyes92]

Put a Blunderbuss of all things in this man's hands and he could snipe a gnat's wing off in another country. The irony is that this is only a minor exaggeration. Buffalo is in my top 5 sharpshooters I've ever seen. Keep it up, pal. Glad you're back.

[@jimdriscoll9404]

Brother, you make shooting accurately look so easy. Great video.

[@tomschrein417]

Rossi does good work. I bought a 92 a couple weeks ago in 45 Colt. Just a great light little rifle.

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

I got a brand new little Rossi 5 shot 38 spcl about 30yrs ago for $200 when I was dirt poor. (not poor now) I have many different guns while it isn't my Korth combat it's still going after a couple thousand of rounds

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

Ring of Fire! Get some!

[@ronmckickass5714]

Love your videos, buffalo. I really do like when you show the actual fit and finish of a firearm. When im considering buying a new tool, your videos are in the handful i peruse before i make my purchase. Its ok if you forget sometimes, were all human. It usually goes to say there are different quality firearms that usually hold true to certain brands. A ruger, remington, or smith is going to be a better gun than a taurus, but not as good as a colt or a taylors. Love your videos buffalo, and that was a great opening clip, nice shot!

[@comiketiger]

Great video brother! Happy to see you back on here! God bless all here.

[@lep38918]

That looks almost identical to the Rossi 357 magnum revolver I had 25 years ago but the old one had a smooth cylinder and a brighter stainless finish.

[@TranceMechanic7]

357 is always a ton of fun!

[@T.A.B.Videos]

Nice looking budget wheel gun

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@Mike-up6go]

Nice review, Buffalo. When your video first started, I had no idea of exactly what caliber/model of gun you were firing. From the recoil, I at first thought you had a .44 mag. The lighter weight of the revolver and using PMC .357 ammo explains that. IMHO PMC ammo overall runs a bit on the hot side.

[@davidshowmaker4408]

My first handgun was a Rossi .38 snubbie

[@buffalosoutdoors]

This is the first Rossi revolver I’ve ever owned.

[@lukehorning3404]

That’s a beautiful classic looking gun

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks, I agree

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Great video as usual, Buffalo. Love the pace and relaxing nature of what you do. Other revolvers I can think of along the lines of this Rossi: Taurus Model 66, Weihrauch Windicator, Sarsilmaz SR 38, and Rock Island AL3.1. But sometimes...........I think I should just sell all the Rugers, S&W's, Tauruses, Rossis, etc. and buy one Manurhin MR73 or Korth Mongoose and be done with it. Hahaha

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍Great job Buffalo,appreciate you Brother.

[@JH-vf8rm]

You have the most beautiful range on KZbin!

[@corkyandteresalight8258]

damn fine shootin there tex

[@rvmagnum5415]

Im a taurus fan , I always wanted a rossi but never got one. Taurus may have kept the name alive but they didnt keep the low prices alive. O , Im thinking back 40 years ago when you could get a rossi or taurus 357 for 150$ . I paid 145 for my taurus 357, 170 for the 9mm and 170 for the 40 cal, I miss those days.

[@bobjohnson1633]

The value of the dollar dropped by almost half in the last few years. 40 years ago, a python would have been like $350

[@joshuagibson2520]

Confirmed! At first glance all I could think of was Taurus must be making these. Sure enough. Not a bad deal at $485.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks man! I couldn’t pass it up.

[@gunnwild1]

I like this one, I hope it eventually makes its way to CA...I'm a 357 magnum junkie 🤣

[@exothermal.sprocket]

If I wanted something half way between .357 and .45, I'm a bit of a sucker for underdogs or less common stuff. I'd skip right over the .44 magnum and instead grab a .41 magnum.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Hard to beat .357. California is whack. Bless your soul out there behind the granola curtain!

[@thebigkahuna2753]

Excellent review as always Buff. Everything we need to know, and no BS. And as with every review, awesome shooting, I wish ......

[@charlesmorgan1879]

Very nice ! Going to pickup wife bday present in a couple of days , a Taurus 692 3".

[@charlesmullins3238]

I hope jerry sees you and y’all get together buff….2 of the best revolver hands I know

[@BrianF.1969]

I think I may get one. I've been wanting another 357 double action ever since I got rid of my GP100. I like this one and will be on the lookout for one locally. Great video.

[@leroymorris6036]

So Rossi is getting better at their production and performance. Good News

[@thekevinator149]

Rossi revolvers are back and so is Buffalo! 👍

[@scottf.3808]

Great budget wheel gun as love your detailed info and of course your shooting is always stellar....Good stuff...

[@kc0lif]

nice rossi made revolver.

[@terryholloway9930]

Thanks for sharing enjoyed it

[@squarewheel142]

Thanks for another great video!

[@heavydutyreviews1303]

Great video! Rossi always makes great revolvers.

[@SoMDHarleyRider]

Nice! I'm going to check other barrel length options.

[@terryschiller2625]

Hi Buffalo, I have never owned a Rossi rifle ir pistol,but the price point as you said is good. And it looks and shoots good. Thanks for sharing

[@PresMonroe]

Hey I have to compliment you. The audio is perfect (like that you are using a wind screen on the mic) and video was spot on ! Thanks for the great work !

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks very much. I appreciate that.

[@jeffpadilla9891]

I had an older Rossi and the firing pin broke, it was used and the timing was off but I loved that revolver.

[@TheJoeshExperience]

As the proud owner of a Rossi 971 it looks to me like its very similar if not the same. Id love to get my hands on any of the new rossi revolvers. Definitely on my short list of new purchases coming up.

[@addytuney2028]

Thanks Buffalo!

[@Leverguns50]

That’s a really nice looking gun

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@mickmegson6241]

Thanks for an excellent review

[@wabbitttune]

Thanks again for another video.... Much appreciated,,,, from long time fan in Auburn Hills, Michigan,,,, to the "Bob Ross of the Gun Tubers"... :) Pastor Buddy

[@BillB23]

My 686 had some stretch in the top strap. I'm concerned that the Rossi would be more prone to that. Stretch or no, I'm sorry I sold that 686. S&W knows how to set up a wheelgun trigger. Rossi, by your numbers, seems a touch heavy. Thanks, Buff, for another fine video.

[@sundial6919]

Never was impressed w 686 i had . Like my 6" security six much better and tougher too 🔥

[@royceabbottsexcavation3709]

I’d be happy with it!

[@torqueguy1]

Same! Good to see you Buffalo! Nice review. Love wadcutters in mine

[@blurryface1975]

looks like a good option comparing it to the taurus 627 tracker. now you can decide if you want the ported barrel or not.

[@Dennisthemenace40]

Taurus has been given a lot of grief over the years and I am sure it’s deserved. I have experienced it myself. But they have produced some very good performing guns among some duds. I happened upon an excellent blue 6” vent rib model 689 357 with adjustable sights about 20 years ago. I landed it for $255. It’s been the most accurate centerfire handgun I’ve ever owned. 1” groups at 25 yards and a 100 yard group that could have been covered with a coffee can. It lives with my daughter now, she doesn’t like autoloaders. Supposedly their QC has been improved. I hope that’s true but time will tell.

[@michaeldunn7716]

I want one! 😁 Great video and presentation! Enjoy your work brother. God bless all here.

[@johnmchale6667]

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@elizabethflynn6626]

great video and great looking revolver, im gonna have to pick up one of these

[@johndilday1846]

Good seeing you again. Great shooting, and the Rossi looks like a good deal.

[@redfaux74]

That was a nice video. ❤ What a nice price for a 357 mag. You can't beat that with a half order of gravy and biscuits. 😳

[@beeamerica5024]

Used to own a 461 an original Rossi

[@georgegravette1132]

So it's basically a Taurus model 66, but with the "classic" Smith & Wesson features: 6-round cylinder, hammer-mounted firing pin, and NO internal lock. I love it. If I see one in carry size (4" barrel), I will definitely get it.

[@philipfreeman72]

Rossi & Taurus make good guns I have had both .

[@garyK.45ACP]

Suggestion, Buffalo...when you check the lockup on any revolver, pull the trigger, allow the hammer to fall and hold the trigger back...as it would be at the moment of firing. This will have the cylinder "hand" pressing the cylinder against the locking bolt and providing the most secure lock-up.
