He sells both a peep sight that replaces the safety:

and a Plug that replaces the safety:

My Interarms import Rossi has no safety.
 
Thanks Drobs. Now, this begs the question, does the peep also rotate, so as to act as a safety? If not, does the Rossi have a quarter hammer setting, pulling it back from the primer striker?
 
Hey, he's just up the road in Lampasas. I can see a day trip up there in my future. I'd like to get my Marlin guide gun crossbolt safety plugged but he says he is "sold out" of that part. I'll give the ol' boy a call next week and see what can be done.

I might need a 357 and/or a 30-30 rifle.
 
There is a quarter cock setting on the hammer. Dropping the rifle on the hammer might cause if to fire - so unless your hunting, I'd personally would keep it chamber empty.

Hickock45 does a decent review on the Rossi 92.

He has some loading problems but I think it's a combination of talking while not counting how many rounds he's loaded in the magazine tube and the result of trying to awkwardly load the rifle sideways on the bench so his back isn't to the camera.

Good Lord folks, if there is such paranoia about the safety being "ON" at some critical time...
...and you don't Ever see a need for a postive block... EVER...

Just put a piece of tape over it.

Safeties are like seatbelts.
You may choose not to use them.
But why pull them completely out of the car so they can never be used,... ever... by anyone ?

But I'm just a country boy. So someone's going to have to explain this to me on a basis other
than "I don't like what it looks like."
 
I don't like lawyer engineering. They fixed something that wasn't broke. The hammer is the safety on this type of rifle. Or chamber empty and don't rely on it but I'm a lefty, it's bass ackward for me and I want to be shed of it. Anybody has a problem with what I do to my rifle can turn into a human donut.

To each his own. Personally, I find the cross-bolt safety on
the exposed-hammer Marlin, in particular, to be right on
in design, function, and useful need.

Don't want to use it ? Then don't -- as you see fit.

Took a really close look at the Rossi Model 92 in .357 today. I did not buy it, as I have problems with the butt-ugly safety on top of the receiver. Anyone here alter it so as to not be so ugly?

I think they sell a little button piece to replace it. And one fellow sells adjustable peep sights for it
 
Not a discussion pro or con for the safety Stag: more a discussion of aesthetics! On a safety discussion, I fall on the side of using safeties.
 
Sixteen of course (for handgun calibers, up to .454 Casull).

That's the rifle's raison d'etre - short and handy - immerse yourself in the purpose of the gun. Ballistics, schmallistics. Scrunthair's difference.

^^^^^^
truly this! :D
 
I handled a 16" 45 Colt at Academy yesterday. I like it better than I thought I would. I still prefer 20" though.

What scares me is reading about Taurus issues.
 
The 24" is also the octagonal barrel, with case hardened receiver, if I'm not mistaken. Price at a local gun shop, when they are in stock, is about $20.00 more than the 16" and 20", but the looks are way better (again, only in my opinion).
