New from Smith & Wesson

Wrong caliber. Why are these companies making 44 mags before 357s? There is no way a 44 is more popular/desirable than a 357.

Wrong. Jk

44-40 or go home.

Work out the kinks. Plenty of people will buy the less desirable model, and will then buy the more desirable model when it comes out.

Look at the glock 42/43

The 44Mag stainless / composite isn’t a new concept. I read that lots of guides use those in Alaska. For bad weather. I wanted one.

I kind of like it. But at $1300 I’m out.

I am a sucker for all weather finishes.. I will be waiting until I die, but I will hold out hope for a .460 rifle

also, Henry needs to thread their all weather rifles already ffs.

I’d love to see one in 454 Casull

I know you can shoot the 454 casull through the 460 revolvers, so wondering if it would be the same in the case of this theoretical rifle I hope they make.

Both really cool rounds. I had a 460xvr for a time but I really wanted the hunter model to bring to Africa

LOL, I was hoping my 454 would function with 45 LC.
While it would be absolutely amazing, I think asking for one that could cycle all 3 might be asking a bit much, even though we’re dreaming.

$1279

yeah, I'm cool with my Rossis

I own three guns in .44mag and zero in .357 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also own a Rossi in 44 Mag. while I do have a 357 rifle, it is a bolt gun oddly enough.

Also why the hell did they do a 19in barrel? You're not going to gain anything over a 16in barrel with the pistol cartridge. Just adding weight and making it more cumbersome to carry.

16in Rossi for reference. Added a peep sight since this picture was taken. Love this thing...

 

[vmax]

I'm still gonna say no.

 

[Sam7sf]

If the quality is similar to Henry I’ll buy one. All the Rossi’s I looked at didn’t justify the price tag. I’m fine paying more for something that isn’t ass.

I had the same thought. They gained a round in capacity, but I’d rather loose a round and have a 16” bbl, especially since it comes threaded.
I don’t really want to hang a can on the end of a 20” barrel.

I've seen more than a few rossis that felt like they had the internal parts made from sandpaper and the sights installed by sledgehammer.

I think there was some company slicking them up, but yikes.

Quit rippin on my Taurus levergun. She may only speak Portuguese, but she has feelings.

Half the fun is spending a day with sandpaper and a dremel slickin' em up.

Yeah but could they not like, use gravel impregnated metal? Maybe tell pedro to go easy on the 10 ton sight pusher they use?

Meanwhile Smith & Wesson buried another firearm company. Thompson Center is 100% done unless someone buys it.
