Ok....so it is definitely not fancy....but it's my very first and it felt oh-so-right! My favorite part was when the old timer at the gun shop (who thought he was being quiet, but was not) asked the sales guy if I was buying the small caliber that was in the case! LOL! No, I was NOT buying the small caliber! Rossi 971 (Don't flame my bargain basement revolver....You'd be raining on my parade if you did.)

 

[Jubba]

I have heard a Rossi is a good shooter. I've never shot one but have considered picking one up. Looks good.

 

[IMakeGum]

Thanks! I have not shot it yet, but will post when I do. I a total newb so don't expect a full range report! I just use .38 specials in it for now until I'm more comfortable shooting in general. I've been dry firing it and I like the feel of the gun. It is a little heavy but not so much that it makes my hands cramp. So, I think that was the right balance and weight I need to get comfortable. I signed up for the NRA basic class and that starts in March. I should be able to make a more intelligent summary about my Rossi after that.

 

[Ricnzak]

Thats a fine pistol to start with. It will go bang and you will have fun. The fact that you have already signed up for a class is wonderful. As you progress you will find more and more guns that spark your interest. But that gun even if you replace it will always be special because it was your first. Oh yeah, Welcome to INGO.

I'm already trying to figure out which 1911 I want! LOL! A man at the range let me shoot his .45 colt 1911----mmmm super nice! and he had this mini colt 1911 (i forgot what it was called) and he let me shoot that too.....ya, that's the next gun for me...oh sigh!

Range Report Rossi 971

Ok, here is how it went:

it went bang.....

.....i had fun......


Well, what the F did you expect?? I'm a newb! I'm just glad I didn't shoot the walls or floor or ceiling

The recoil is not intimidating, I just need to work on grip and pulling the trigger smoothly. Any tips?

So far, I hit in the general area where I aim....generally.....

Here's a pre-10 dating from 1936, got it form the family in a private sale.

Took her out for a "spin" today with my buddy chrisheacock. Think he liked her. HA! 3 dudes, 4 sidearms (One was this awesome 44), 2 carbines, & a shotgun. Doesn't get much better than that. HA!

Note: Don't know for sure, but I'm a thinkin that Chris enjoyed my XD 9 as much or more than his Glock. Hehe.
