i just went by gibsons in weatherford, tx they have several of these in different calibers, styles and lengths.  how do these hold up.  sights looked pretty cheap.  what do you guys think about yours

the ones ive handled and shot were a good gun. Very smooth right out of the box and accurate.

Excellent guns. They are a quality product. I've current got a couple of them and have had others that I let go of. There is one more I'm mulling over in my mind right now. I've got .45 Colt and .357 Magnum chamberings and am toying with the idea of a .44-40.

I was looking at two different ones both .44 mag.   One had a twenty inch barrel the other had a sixteen they were both $450.00 does that sound about right to ya'll.  Seemed a little high to me, but I may be wrong.  These were both plain with blued barrels and actions.

I have a 92 Rossi, 357 it has become my all time favorite "grab it gun" I also have 44 Mags and still find the 357Magnum a good all around cartridge/carbine combination    Doug

Sounds high to me, but I'm not in Texas (yet). I bought a Puma 92 20 in carbine in .45 Colt last fall for $365 in Maine. Love the gun. To me, the stock sights are better than some Marble ones that I tried. Repeat, love the gun, one of my favorite rifles.

I found a used Rossi in 44-40 in Gander Mt.  I walked out the door with it for under $100.    After raising the rear sight to the max it was still 10" low at 25 so it took it to the shop.  Had front sight filed down and added a brass bead.  Added Marbles tang peep swivel studs and had the cresent butt stippled.  It was going to be the 100 dollar who cares if I roll the quad with the gun in the rack gun.  It is now a fine shooter.  And I will care if I roll the quad with it in the rack.  I thought the trigger was better than on my Browning 92, but the smith said he made it a little better since he had it apart anyway. For no charge! .

And yes I have rolled the quad with an orig 44-40 Win 73 in the rack.  I nearly broke both my wrists keeping the weight off the gun.

I think the prices you are dealing with do seem high.  Will they come down some it you ask?

     Just bought a 16" Legacy / Rossi Puma .45 LC in Texas for $ 410 out the door ( this included tax ) w/ 16" barrel - blue steel .  Best price I could find .

     Shot it yesterday with ammo I had loaded for my S&W M25-5 . 

     230 RNL & 250 FPL over 8 grains of Unique .  Mixed brass .

     I think I lik this little rifle better than my Marlin .44 Mag carbine .  :-)

God bless

I have the LSI Rossi Puma 20" round barrel.  Great looking rifle and feels great like a Winchester.

      Take a few minutes and go to LSI's website and check out their prices plus shipping, and some dealers that do the transaction for you want $20 for their services.    Oh, and don't forget the cost for the agony of waiting.    Then match it against Gibson's.
