The trigger is fine, very responsive.

Looking forward to your sight updates for the Ameriglo Taurus sight- some have mentioned a shim under it, and spoke to Ameriglo last week, he said Rossi specific sights are in development just nothing finalized yet but likely towards Shot Show-

 

[Sharps40]

Thats probably a year or three out then. I've already ordered the sights from shoptaurus, I hear they take a while to ship, but expect it'll come faster than waiting for production. The 856 will be a simple swap. On the rossi, I'm thinking of using the tail of the original front sight as the filler. If that dosn't work, some other material will fill the slot.

Spoke to Premium Manufacturing before Thanksgiving, they have checkered laminate grips sent to Rossi and according to him will be on Rossi website this month (he said he shipped 500 sets to them for the website) - spoke to him on Ebay, he makes grips for Taurus and now Rossi, they mimic the factory birds head grip of the RP63 just checkered wood laminate

A falconia from altimont would be grand.

Look at my vids on here re Night Sight, and using 856 Hammer Spring...I would like some wood grips though the OEM Rubbers handle full bore .357 very well

 

[Frankiestoys]

Just ordered my own Rossi today should be here next week! Will definitely be looking for some wood grips

Other than sights and grips I wouldn't mess with triggers on a carry pistol should you ever have to use it, attorneys will tear you up as to why you made those changes. Trigger mods on target pistols are always good but not on carry pistols, that's my two cents.

Hey Sharps, that's a terrific write-up. Thank you!
My older Rossi 462 has a really heavy trigger pull. Never got around to doing anything about it.
I've been looking at those new Rossis as an addition to the herd. Any reason you picked the black over the SS? Just preference?
Anyway, your posts ought to be a sticky (or whatever they call it here.) Some excellent info and nothing there that couldn't be done by any new owner.

My rp63 is stainless.

I understand many folks hold that as a fear. Nothing wrong with keeping your firearms stock.

Just as similarly, should you be in an accident and having replaced the tires on your truck with better quality units one then becomes concerned it could be used against you in court as an argument for motive.

However...

I suspect neither is grounded in reality and I believe we can comfortably dismiss both.....no matter what Mossmood-The-Boob says in his latest YouTube.

Well I hope you never find out how one-sided our courts are on the innocent citizen.

Go easy . I respect your opinion and simultaneously disagree with it.

We have a few Elmers here so don't take too much out of it - good group for the most part, but I saw a thread where a mod built a braced 300BO pistol for hog hunting and someone called it an SBR the other day as if thats actually a thing

Side note @Sharps40 - I am debating getting an S&W front sight for my RP63 depending on how it fits the channel as a lot of them are longer than the Taurus small frame sight and I'm hoping besides marking and drilling for the pin on the sight, that it would fit the RP63 channel with minimal fitting - one of these on the page below was what I was considering

I don't take anything out of it. Folks are entitled to their convictions. Risk tolerance helps shape the convictions and I'm nobody qualified to judge another. I'm just glad folks are armed.


Smith site, Cool. Post results with photos.

I'm hoping to use the Rossi sight as the filler. I see Taurus just shipped today, so only a 7 day delay to get it in an envelope!!

 

[Sharps40]

The new Taurus 856 grip slid right on and fits great. Pics later but I'm quite pleased. Gonna be fine for holster and pocket carry.

 

[Sharps40]

Having both this and the Taurus 856 I can say the same basic adjustment was done for both (spring and minimum polishing) and the Rossi is hands down the smoother and lighter feeling action. I'll have to play with 856 to find the difference. Id thought it'd be the lighter and smoother. Perhaps it's in the rebound. The Rossi being better geometry with a straight push over the Taurus with an angle push.

 

[Sharps40]

Very shallow and narrow rear notch opened to pick up light on either side of the front sight.

 

[Sharps40]

New sight does not rock or wobble. New pin pushed in neatly with no mushroom using a b-square sight pusher.

 

[Sharps40]

Some gaps to fill and the new 856 grip in place. She's almost ready.
