    Rossi 720 -- what style butt?

    Anyone out there know for sure whether the Rossi 720 .44 Special revolver has a square, or round butt? Thanks!

    Fellas, if any of you out there who owns a 720 could answer this question for me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

    The 720 certainly doesn't have what I would call a rounded butt. So I would have to say square.
    When Leonidas was preparing to make his stand, a Persian envoy arrived. The envoy explained to Leonidas the futility of trying to resist the advance of the huge Persian army and demanded that the Spartans lay down their arms. Leonidas told Xerxes "MOLON LABE", or "Come And Get Them."

    I prefer a well rounded firm butt!

    It looks like a square one from the pictures I've seen. There is a VERY slight rounding of the bottom of the grip. I'm looking at Gun Digest 2011, page 267,Editor's Picks, Dan Shideler.

    Here's a reference.
    Rossi M720 : Revolvers at GunBroker.com

    There you go.

    It is a square butt. There are or were round butt soft rubber versions made for it.

    I looked for that article online, but didn't find it. Then I thought to look for the book at Amazon.com. They have it in stock, I did a search of the text of the book, and bingo! There I was able to read Mr. Shideler's comments on the Rossi 720...

    Thanks again, Qwiks draw.

    You're welcome.

    I'd of bought a 720 some where along the line if the Taurus 441 hadn't popped up first.

    Rossi knew how to make that one look like a sculpture. A work of art.
