Anybody have any experience with the 44 Mag Rossi Ranch Hand? Been looking at one of these for a while.

 

Something tells me they ain't Jersey legal...

 

I have a Henry Mare's Leg in .22 that's comparable from a characteristics standpoint. Totally jersey legal. provided you have a spare pistol permit to put towards purchasing it.

My boss has the 357 version. It's sold as a pistol so get a permit. I recommend the 357 version, the 44 seems to have a nice wack in the hand.

Nice! Some sites were selling it as a rifle. Ables used the term "hand rifle".

+1 for the Brazilian bombshell.

I suggest the Henry .45 colt Mare's Leg http://henryrepeating.com/rifle-mares-leg.cfm

Me want!

yup, pistol permit, very cool I like them...

They seem hella impractical to me though. You couldn't shoot it as a rifle and shouldered, and it would be a PITA to fire two handed. Kinda like holding an AR by the pistol grip with both hands and shooting.

I handled one of these Rossi's at Cabela's. I am with 302w, it is SUPER awkward. You can't nor don't want to shoulder it, and shooting it with two hands or even one hand is not practical.

 

Waste of money in my opinion.

You can shoot it with two hands, It's a little weird at first but it becomes easy after a few lane changes. If the Henry came in 357 it would be a better buy, but it only comes in 45LC and 22LR. Rossi is now owned by Taurus and they've quality control has gone up.

I still have a Chiappa in .44-40. I got it when they first came out.

I'm hearing that next year Henry will be offering a .357 version. I haven't got to look over the 2012 catalog yet though.

That would behoove Mr. Imperato very much.

I want one..just to let my inner McQueen come out and re-live "Wanted, Dead or Alive" besides for Cowboy Action you'd get HUGE style points.
