Hello from Oregon!

Good to meet you all!
I came across this forum during my search for a 1892. I’m an old dog that grew up around guns but have only recently taken them up as a hobby. When I decided to get a rifle last year the 1892 was on my short list of have to have items. In my search I stumbled on a great deal for a Chiappa 1892 20” round barrel in 44-40. It’s a gorgeous rifle and I like the fact that it is in an original caliber but I knew I would eventually get a ‘92 in 357.
It was during my search for one in 357 that I came across this forum. It seems to be pretty good timing as the Rossi 357 in stainless is becoming available again. I asked my local gun shop to be on the lookout for one a few months back and last Friday they told me a new production one is available that could be ordered for $589. So against the collective wisdom expressed in the forum I went ahead and purchased it sight unseen.
Hopefully that will not prove to be a mistake! I like to tinker so I won’t mind some finishing work on my part. I’ll give an update in the 92 section once I get my hands on it.
Take care and thanks for the great information you all post.
