EMF Hartford Or Puma?
« on: October 26, 2003, 05:19:43 AM »
Comments please- I'm down to either the EMF 92 Hartford, or the Puma M92- both are in 45LC, Stainless, 24" octagonal barrel- the Puma is about $30 more- help me keep from flipping a coin  :cb2:

Odd that the Puma would list for more! Usually the Hartfords are considered higher quality. (I got my reservations about that, but that's what folks claim)

I'd go with the Hartford!

I have the Hartford and sure am pleased with it. Never even seen a Puma around here. Rossi makes both. Doubt there is all that much difference. The Hartford doesn't have the stupid safety. Not sure about the Puma.

I have owned both models.  A Puma in .45 Colt and a Hartford in .44 mag.  The Hartford is slicker out of the box,  has better metal finish ,  has better wood finish and has better sights.  If i were to buy another '92 Rossi it would be a Hartford.
