Let me just start by saying ..damn.
Within the past 3 years I bought 2 Rossi revolvers just to keep around the ranch for fun. One was an 8 shot 22lr... great gun for small critters and its been fun.
The 2nd was a 4” 38 Special, blued.
I found it a pawn shop, new for around $300 and it had a butter smooth action and thought it would be a good training gun for teaching my wife to shoot revolvers.
It was fun and I shot it a lot at the gun range with no issues.
Sometime ago, pretty sure it was on TGT, I found out that certain Rossi revolvers had a safety recall.
Went to the recall webpage and put in the serial numbers and found that the 38 was under recall.
I filled out the forms online and they sent me a FedEx label so back in Jan or Feb I boxed it up and sent it off.
I never heard anything so I started rattling the cage a little and got a call back today from a Georgia area code.. Brazetech....Taurus...
They said they had the gun and inspected it and is was “non -repairable “
Whatever that means....They said they can’t send it back and said they would like to offer a settlement of a new replacement revolver...
It’s a take it or leave it thing..I’m guessing so I said sure..
Turns out they are sending me a factory new Model 82 Taurus..
That’s right.. a damn Taurus..
I heard that Rossi sold to them sometime back.. and I don’t like the brand, but I figure I can either keep it and use it like I did the Rossi or just sell the damn thing..
So, all the jabbing I’ve done over the years has come back to haunt me..
Damn the luck....lol
