Features & Specs

The Rossi M92 is a faithful adaptation of the Winchester Model 1892 action, known for its smooth, reliable cycling with both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges. The 20-inch octagon barrel provides a traditional silhouette and enhanced sight radius. The case hardened receiver is achieved through a cyanide case-hardening process, offering a distinct mottled appearance that varies by unit. Cosmetic blemishes are limited to surface-level imperfections; all internal components meet Rossi’s standard quality control thresholds.
