I just bought myself one of these in .44 Magnum this afternoon.

I had to come over here to Augusta (GA) for a conference and I happened to stop by the Post Exchange at Fort Gordon (GA) on the way. They had the Rossi Ranch Hand in either .357 or .44 for $444 and since I have been wanting one . . . . it's not practical for anything, but . . . . who cares.

I didn't want to walk through the hotel lobby with it, so I will post a picture of it Sunday afternoon when I get home and get a chance to play with, er . . . . I mean log it in to my gun database!

Thats exactly the same gun I bought.Steve mcqueen made it famous in the 60s with his show wanted dead or alive ,he was quick on the draw with it.You can type it in wikepidea and it will tell you all about it.Its definitly a cannon and you could blow someone back out your front door with it no probem.

AL MOUNT · 03-16-2012, 08:09 AM

I bought a Model 29 few years back,
wanted & got an exact copy of ole Dirty Harry's.

Hair trigger when cocked, extremely accurate, luv that gun.

gdmoody · 03-16-2012, 06:30 PM

All right, for those who wanted pictures, I went out to the car with my cell phone and got a picture of it. I can't vouch for the quality but here she is:

Dan, I am curious, how does the price of $444 compare with what you sell them for?

JLA · 03-16-2012, 08:22 PM

They remind me of the movie Zonbieland with Woody Harrelson. Him and his mares leg .30-30. and dual 1911s.
