Title: This Followed Me Home Today From The Gun Shop
Post by: ILIKEHEVI-13 on February 28, 2014, 02:39:32 PM
Well I went to the local gun shop today to buy a pistol.  This baby ended up going home with me.  It's a Rossi 972 stainless steel 357 Mag that will also shoot 38 Special.  I bought 2 boxes of shells to go with it.  Plan on going shooting tomorrow or Sunday.  It fits like a glove.

Thanks.  It's got a lifetime warranty, too.  I read a article on this gun in the annual gun guide magazine.  The guy really had no negatives to say about it for the price.  He said to go get you one.  So I did.  Gun writers are good at that though.  But it was very well written, and also very informative.

No, I gave that up.  But I still got quite a few. 

Thanks guys for the comments.  It's been awhile since I bought a gun.  I always wanted a 357 Mag.

Nice. I've had my eye on a few ruger blackhawk 44 mags lately but yet to buy one. Think it would be real handy to have since we can use handguns in muzzleloader season now in Missouri.

Well my wife and her sister went to shoot this Rossi 972 today and they also shot my 9mm Hi-Point.  I'll just say this right now that I feel sorry for any bad guy trying to get in our house.  They were shooting like pros in no time.  I told both of them that they were actually better than good.  I would say both for beginners were very good to excellent.  I must have been a great teacher.  This Rossi is very accurate for a pistol.

Well I took my daughter Brooke shooting yesterday.  She needs a lot of practice and she is just let's say hard to teach when it comes to shooting.  I thought I would show you guys my last 6 shots with the the Rossi 972 at 7yds.  This was totally offhand shooting.  I was aiming at the butcher knife on this zombie target.  I'm no pro, but that ain't bad.
