Question on Model 59 22 Magnum
Posted: 29 Mar 2021 14:39
I am new to the forum and first of all, I wold like to thank the Admin for approving me. I mainly hang out on the S&W Forum. I recently bought a Rossi 22 magnum pump gallery gun, which I believe is a model 59, that is at least 98%. I put about 8 rds through it and it functioned flawlessly. I brought it back home,cleaned it and did not reload it.I have since discovered that if the chamber is empty, the slide would not go back even with trigger pulled back. I took it out in back yard,pulled the trigger and dried fired it and after that, the slide worked fine. My question is this a flaw in the gun or does it have to be fired before slide will work? It has Amadeus Rossi stamped on top of barrel, with IND.BRAS over a circle with ROSSI in circle and MARC.REG under the circle. The serial # is H0028XX.
