tulsamal, I so hate you! ;)

that is an awesome trio! I wish I could find the covert model like you have pictured.....
 
I lined those two Rossis up like that because there was a question about comparative barrel length. Somebody out there thought they were different. I suppose the profiles made them look that way. So I took a photo where I carefully aligned the barrels. So that you could see they were both the same length.

The fixed sight DAO model is nice but IMO, it is less useful. The adjustable sighted gun works well as a general working gun. A role usually taken by something like a Ruger Blackhawk but my Rossi has done a good job. I thought I might carry the DAO version as a concealed weapon but it just didn't work out for me. That is an all steel revolver. It isn't very big but it is solid as a rock. That S&W is FAR easier to carry. So I bought the DAO version of the Rossi as a companion but it turned out to be the red-headed stepchild of the trio. I carried the S&W as my CCW and the adjustable sighted version as a working open carry gun. The DAO had no job.

Those factory grips look pretty cheap. Obviously they don't bug you much, or you would swap them out. Are they effective? Do you like them?
 
I never shoot them with anything you would consider hot. Very medium loads. The Blazer .44 Special load is mild but that Gold Dot bullet kills things. I suppose the rubber flexes and helps a bit, can't say I've ever really noticed anything. If there were thousands of available aftermarket grips for a reasonable price, I guess I would consider swapping them. But the factory grips do work!
