I just purchased a like new Interarms/Rossi Model 851 stainless 4 inch revolver. I don't have pic's yet but it is 95% or better. Bore is like new. The only thing so far that I have a problem with is the trigger is sharp on the edges and lower end. With my fat fingers, these areas tend to hurt my finger when I fire the gun. Anyone else have an issue with the trigger in this regard?

BTW, paid $250.00 out the door with a hard case and holster.

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Congrats, looking forward to range report and pictures. Sorry I can't help with the trigger issue, can the sharp edges be easily smoothed with out removing to much material?

 

[rexherring]

That's what I have. I did take a small fine file to some of the sharp spots on mine but it's a good shooter.

GREAT looking revolver

:sarcasm:If it bothers you that much I'll give you $251 for it.

Mine looks just like the pic rexherring posted. I am going to try to smooth out the edge's. Sorry, I think I will keep it a while.

Well, I fixed the trigger problem with a little use of my dremel. Now to the range.

I have one in 3", and it's without a doubt my favorite revolver to take to the range. Really a great gun...and mine cost $150 (to give you an idea of how long ago I bought it).

No rough spots on the trigger, though I can see how it would be possible. Glad you were able to smooth it out!

I took it to the range. It locks up tight and the single action trigger pull is as good as any Smith I ever shot. Double is a little heavy but not bad. It fits my hand well. I just wish that I could shoot as good as I did 40 years ago. 65 year old eyes are not conducive to great groups.

We are definitely gun porn addicts here.

And welcome to the best gun forum on the net.

I improved a little on my Rossi last night. I took some advise about the rear sight. Since the rear sight and the front sight are both stainless, it makes it a little hard for my old eyes to see them clearly.

I took out my cold blue pen and blued the rear sight blade. I have not shot it yet but it makes a world of difference in sight picture. The proof will be in the pudding as they say.

I really like mine.I have a 3 inch barrel I would like to put on mine.I cannot find a gunsmith locally to do a barrel changed on a Rossi revolver. Right now it is a tack driver. Changing the barrel might change that.

Went to the range today. The new blued rear sight blade worked wonders. Six 148 gr. wadcutters in a 3 inch circle at seven yards.
