    New Heritage Roscoe .38 special DA Revolvers

    The Roscoe isn't pot-metal since it is a rebadged Taurus Model 85 and those were made in both steel and aluminum frames. But their own website says a number of their Rough Rider models are pot metal...

    The only modern Smith I'm even remotely interested in is the TRR8 or R8.

    New Heritage Roscoe .38 special DA Revolvers

    It is all part of Taurus' branding and marketing. With Rossi, it was the "Magnum Country" advertisement campaign. With Heritage, it is the "Roscoe Gumshoe Detective Noir" advertisement campaign.

    I have a 16" Rossi R92 in .45 Colt. It is a dandy little rifle.

    New Heritage Roscoe .38 special DA Revolvers

    Nope, it does not. Later production Taurus 85s didn't either.

    New Heritage Roscoe .38 special DA Revolvers

    The Rough Rider is a cast pot metal gun. .22 is all it'll ever be in.

    New Heritage Roscoe .38 special DA Revolvers

    Taurus still has the tooling and the guns are marked as being imported at Taurus' Bainbridge plant in Georgia. For Taurus, Heritage and Rossi are just brands. The guns are marked as Taurus and made in Brazil. It is just a Taurus Model 85.

    New Heritage Roscoe .38 special DA Revolvers

    It is a current production Taurus just slapped with the Heritage name. It is made on the same assembly line as Taurus and Rossi. No different than buying a GM 1500 or a GMC 1500. Other than the badge, it is the same internal parts.

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Yup, the Great Trump Slump absolutely destroyed a number of large dealers, manufacturers, and distributors. Leading up to November 2016, folks were panic buying left and right. They all expanded their operations on credit due to it looking like Hillary was going to win and to cater to the...

    Why Own a Snubby?

    I own a literal pile of snub-noses and they're all great carry pieces. Carried a snub-nose as a BUG for a good chunk of my LE career.

    New Heritage Roscoe .38 special DA Revolvers

    It is just a rebadged Taurus Model 85, a five-shot .38 Special. Taurus own Heritage and Rossi by the way.

    Taurus 445 44spl

    Other way around buckaroo. .44 Magnum is the gateway drug to .44 Special, .44 Russian and .44 WCF. Next thing you know, you're hunting down Charter Arms Bulldogs, S&W Model 24s and 544s. Yes, you've done the opposite. But in the end, nothing wrong with the .44 family.
