Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Rossi Ranch Hands has been well respected as a handgun and rifle choice for decades, and the 357 mag is an excellent choice for someone shopping for a classic lever action gun. As the name suggests, Lever action guns use a lever near the trigger guard to reload cartridges. They generally work pretty well for hunting and sport shooting because they are light and easy to carry, and they also typically can fire more quickly than bolt or semi-automatic guns. They are traditionally American guns and have flourished throughout the States and Canada since the days of the cowboys and ranch hands in the Wild West.
Ironically, the Rossi Ranch Hand is actually not a rifle, although it has many similar characteristics to a traditional lever action rifle. It is designed so that someone who shoots a traditional lever action rifle can also use a pistol that shoots the same way. This .357 mag gun weighs 4 pounds, has a 12” barrel compliant with federal regulations, and has a 6-shot capacity. It has a classic matte blue finish, hardwood walnut buttstock, and fore-end. But the main appeal of this gun comes from how awesomely nostalgic it is, evoking thoughts of the iconic Winchester 1892 rifle that can be seen in many classic Western movies, as well as more recently in the Dirty Harry movies. It can be incredibly fun to shoot and will make you feel like a classic American cowboy, even if it’s just another day of shooting practice at the range.
The gun has many features that mimic the original Winchester Randall. It has two barrel bands – one just behind the muzzle and the other at the fore-end. The butt of the stock has a thick plate made of steel, and there is a large loop lever, which is actually oversized to give you more control when you are shooting. There is also a saddle ring with a leather tie, which adds to the nostalgia factor. There is also a safety just in front of the hammer; a small lever will lock the firing pin when toggled. The pistol has a long, thin front sight, a small gold bead, and an adjustable buckhorn rear sight.
Overall, these guns are known to perform quite well and are a blast to shoot, especially for true Wild West rifle enthusiasts. However, there are a few issues with the performance. Because it is a unique novelty gun, it is not designed for complete accuracy, which may be problematic if you are looking to use it for more practical purposes, like as an actual ranch hand. Even though the sights are technically adjustable, it is still quite difficult to adjust them to get an accurate shot. It can also be quite difficult to get a good grip on the gun because of its size – it’s too small to shoot like a rifle, but it’s also difficult to shoot like a traditional handgun. However, the gun serves its purpose as a great collector’s item for lever action rifle enthusiasts.
