I do agree that Smiths are overpriced. They are almost to decent used car price level with some of their guns! $700 +/- for a Model 10 revolver...are you kidding!!! Then again, Taurus, is not all glory also. I called their Miami office several years ago and the person answered the phone, "Hello". When I asked if this was Taurus, she giggled and said yes, just kind of should been more business like, I guess. That was a let down. And Rossi, well haven't owned one so can't comment. I have great Smiths and a great Taurus, but it comes down to Forrest Gump, Life is like a box of chocolates...........................
