I’m so glad that I came across this info. Thank you so much!
Apparently, my Rossi’s SN fell victim to this recall. I’m personally unsure how to go on this. I picked it up from a private seller a few years back. I was thinking of having my dealer take it from me, but I’d rather not have somebody else buy it and risk them getting injured over this recall. If I do send it in, then judging by the comments, I can ask the representatives if a .357 option is available? I still have ammo left over I’m keeping in the meantime and I’d rather have another revolver than can take .357, although right now with the price hikes, I’m not even bothering with .357 unless I’m put into a scenario where I absolutely have to use it.
Keep ur gun.
Of you like the gun don’t send it in, The have no intention to repair it. They are just collecting them for destruction. I had the 2" high polished . 357 magnum and I loved it. Sent it in for inspection and repair and they stole it. Their only offerings were not sufficient to replace what I had and loved. They offered a mat finished 5shot .357 or a matt finished 6 shot 38 spl. I wasn,t happy with either offering and I offered to pay the difference in cost to get something that I could be happy with. I was flat refused the opportunity to buy up to something I wanted. My only option was to pick one of the two offerings and shut up and like it. I was robbed.
Have your own gun smith fix the problem it’ll get done faster and he can explain the problem to you in detail
Keep it for sure man.
I think I got one too but I’ll be damned sending it back
If you’re worried about it drop the hammer on a empty chamber.I have a 461 I’m keeping mine.If you hold the gun upside down and smash the hammer spur on something hard yes I can see it happening,
I carry the 1st empty anyway
I would take it out in the woods and hit the hammer a few times with a block of wood and see if it’s a good one. If it is and does not fire, I would keep the gun. If It fires, I would send it back.I would not accept a model 85 as a replacement.
I’ve got one. It needs the recall done and I need a few parts for it too. Not sure where I’m at on it now lol
All those real shit are with *cashmain on Wickr* I just got a fucking glock 19x from him
I made a mistake by sending my Rossi in!! Took about 9 to 10 months to get the pos tarsus they sent back for a replacement!! Something I would never own!! All the time,no contact with them!! They promised to fix the gun I sent in!! WTH happened there?? Never will trust that company again!! I would still like to own the one they said they would fix, they screwed me on that!!
Don’t drop it simple as that.
Test it like they did.
If it fails, send it, then…
If it passes, keep it and feel better.
Is this clown handling a loaded gun !!!!!!!
Are people carrying these guns around with the hammer cocked? Or is the impact hitting the hammer? I guess people don’t fundamentally understand revolvers. You can keep the hammer on an empty cylinder if that’s the case.
You think you opened and closed the cylinder enough??
Seems to me like you should probably expect all guns to go off when dropped… and probably should hit it with a hammer either. And also I’d say they probably was playing around and shot themselves in the leg… jus sayin
Keep it and shoot the shit out of it!
RE: Rossi 461-03 I checked s# and then filed online 08/01/2020. 11/27/2020 my replacement Taurus 65 was delivered to my local gun store. Customer Service was awesome and the service time was awesome considering some of the horror stories I’ve read.
If you take your hands off the steering wheel of your car, you may crash…all brands…do we need a recall on all vehicles? Don’t drop your gun! And don’t hit the hammer with a mallet!
Have never had a major issue with my taurus guns, I own a 7 shot 617 rite now and it is a great shooting gun. I did have an older model 357 that was purchased at a pawnshop used, it ended up having a split forcing cone. Sent it to taurus , had it back in less than a month with a brand new barrel , and they even polished the rest of the gun up for me.Don’t drop your gun and don’t smack them with a mallet!
Just cowboy load it, carry 5 with the hammer on an empty chamber
I wish I had a dollar every time you open and closed that cylinder.
They will exchange it for a new crap 5 shot now instead of fixing your Rossi, so don’t send it in.
Keep it in the pick up truck,…if it gets stolen,..well,… then maybe Karma will do its thing on the bad guy. Until then,…don’t drop your damn guns !
They hit the hammer spur with a mallet and it went off what did they think would happen?I think these stories left some facts out.
Why don’t you take it to the range and shoot it? How do you know none of your other guns won’t misfire if you drop them, or smack them with a mallet? Try not dropping a loaded pistol. Why didn’t you hit it with a fucking mallet? I’m sure that with your bitter hatred of Taurus and enough time and imagination you could somehow get it to misfire.
I sent 3 out of 4 recalls back. I put in for 857 4” barrel 6 shot .38
Not sure if I’m going to keep any of them I’d rather have Taurus judge/prosecutor or something like that
I was told as of today, that revolvers are 2-6 weeks, semi auto 12 + weeks bc of the high demand.
Wtf???! Lol. Dude…. I would have never known.
Hit it with a mallet. If it goes off, don’t hit it with a mallet again. ;[)
Excelente revólver Rossi 🇧🇷
Just saw this. My R351 S/N is prefixed "AA". My "fix" recommendation is just don’t drop it. If you have prosthetic legs, don’t worry about it. If you’re faced with an intruder, just throw it on the floor towards him. 😀
Keep it be carefull
I made the mistake of sending one in!! Oh yeah got the $50.00 but it took over 9 months,then they sent a replacement gun!! Something I would never own!! In the time it took them and no contact with them!! They pulled a fast one on anyone that sent a gun in!! Had it to do over never would do it!! Don’t drop yr gun !!
Seriously, what are the chances of 1)Dropping it. 2) Having an accidental discharge.? Hang on to it, practice safe gun handling, and enjoy the revolver.
Keep it
Sent my Rossi in knowing they would not repair it. Customer Service Rep contacted me and said it would be replaced with a Taurus. I asked for a 856 six shot Matt stainless and it took about a month to get. Not sure why other folks have to wait so long.
Why not just take it to your local gunsmith and have them repair it?
There’s obviously a flaw that Rossi/Taurus already has a fix for. Seems simple enough to have your local ‘smith order the part and replace it.
Sure, you’ll have to pay for the repair, but you’ll get it done in a reasonable amount of time and (depending on how good your ‘smith is) it may actually be repaired more competently.
I subscribed, because you just made my life a little safer. God Bless.
Going to the bathroom one day my Rossi 357 fell out of the holster landed on the hammer and did not go off thank God it would have been a gutshot with that being said I trust my Rossi
Just do not drop it 🙂
Buy a smith&wesson
Filled out the claim some time ago and not a word or a box ever sent. Would have been a hoot if they really sent me a box and the 50 dollars ! Oh well, they’ve just got so many so called defective guns out there it’s just not gonna happen. Sad
Keep it,!
i love my 461 it shoots all in the black double action at 25 yards and i have video on it on my channel, but like you said i’ve seen these black matte pieces of mierda (spanish for caca!!) they look so cheap and not at all a good replacement for my 461 which has the deep bluing six shot cylinder and a tight look up, i’ll keep mine for now.
Update for all. On my recalled Rossi 351. About 3 weeks for Taurus to contact me initially. Taurus offered the Taurus 856 as a replacement. Supposedly they’re backordered so will be 6 weeks or so till replacement is at the FFL. Hold time for them on the phone was only 8 minutes.
Bad things happen to all gun manufacturers. S&W, like all of them including Colt Python, make lemons or mistakes. The difference is Customerservice. I did not send my S&W PPK/S back as the fix literally destroyed the looks of the SS. I elected to be very careful with the weapon instead.
There is always a first time, but I have never dropped a gun. Proper planning prevents pi*s poor performance …, as the saying goes. Just like a Colt SAA, leave no round under the chamber. You might take a mallet to it; but to me that would be gun cruelty and you just could not guarantee that no gun was hurt filming that process. Yep, small humor inserted into the paragraph chamber holding these sentences.
Would someone tell Biden to enforce the gun laws on the books that include sending Hunter Biden to prison for lying on the background check. The FBI statistics refute Biden’s assertions. Furthermore, pistol braces have been legal for over a decade. “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. Rather clear … therefore all gun control laws both State and Federal violate the 2nd Amendment as the States agreed to them too. If you want to impose gun laws that infringe on the people’s right you have to change the Constitution Mr. Biden.
Crisis averted, mine is not on the list… I was going to make it my truck gun if it were a recall.
