Default RE: Rossi?

I have one of their Miniloaders in .45 ss(for my daughter...) and it is a fairly accurate gun. It likes heavy sabots (240 gr PR bullets) and will shoot well under and inch CTC at our 50 yard range. Although everything from155 to 240 gr in .40 cal bullets has been an inch orbetter at50 yards. They say it is only for pellets in the manual, I don't have pellets and shoot it with 60 gr of t7 2f. The flash hole in the breech plug is very large when compared to NEF, but you don't have primer carriers, just a place to put the primer in. There is some blowback, but not too much. The trigger is on the heavy side, but breaks clean. Overall it seems to be a fairly well made gun, the only thing I would really change is the breech plug. It needs a longer and narrower flash hole, then you would have less blowback.

BTW, it is a firearm under the law, but you can't get replacement rifle barrels like on the NEF Huntsman (sidekick is ml only as the receiver is different) yet. They keep talking about it, so I will keep mine in the hope that one day they will sell me a barrel in .357 or 7.62x39...
