Re: M1892 in 357 -- Rossi or Cimarron?

Time for a update. . . I finally got the Rossi Puma today, along with a well-preserved Ruger Security Six, both stainless, both 357. I'm not sure what the big deal is about getting an action job done on the Rossi, since I find both the cycling and trigger perfectly acceptable as it is. However, keep...
