They are neat looking guns. How do they compare to a Henry?

I will have to wait until I have shot one. I have several Henry rifles and a couple of JM Marlins. Just having my hands and eyes on it the fit and finish are great. The action is smooth and the peep rear sight makes picking up the front sight really easy. It is heavy as like it was built for work.

10mm is an interesting offering but , Ouch on that MSRP !
I do like the redesigned lever though.

.357 Magnum is so much more versatile for a levergun.

Ehh already have 2 of those, 2 in 41 magnum, 1 in 44 Magnum, 1 in 35 Remington and 1 in 17 HMR. So versatility isn’t really a consideration for me.

Getting one in 10mm is just for the “cool factor”

now if they come out with one in 38 super or say any of the following calibers 45 ACP, 458 SOCOM, and 500 S&W Magnum the possibilities could be endless.

I saw a new Rossi lever through the glass at a Walmart. Black on Black, carbine, tactical looking. I wanted to get my paws on one but didn't want to go to the trouble of finding the employee with keys.

The best thing you can do with a Rossi is leave it at the gun store.

About 20 years ago I bought my son a Rossi youth 410 single for his tenth birthday . It was a very solid piece with nice blue and hardwood. Kids grow quickly so we ended up trading it towards his first adult deer rifle.

I’ve got an older Rossi Puma in .44 mag. that is actually quite nice to shoot. I followed a couple of YouTube tutorials by Steve’s Gunz on how and where to slick up the internals and viola , it worked and actually functions like a lever gun should.

Of course they're out of stock, and with a MSRP of $1,578 (about $100. more than the same in .357 or .44) I expect they'll sell well enough. Now being the ever unsatisfied enthusiast many of us are, it probably wouldn't take any effort to deepen the Chamber to accommodate 10mm Magnum (see the "BFR" Revolver in 10mm Mag.) That would give you more power, but you'll never be able to reliably shoot 10mm Auto out of it nor .40 S&W.

Think I paid 14 and change for it after taxes. Haven’t gotten to take it out to the range yet. Will try it both suppressed and unsuppressed to see what the difference in impact will be.

I have quite a few guns I need to get to the range to shoot. Still waiting on an Sig 211 and an HK SP5 to come in.

Cool concept. You get power very similar to .357 Mag with an extra 2 rounds of capacity. Loading it with .40 S&W gives you +1 round and cheaper ammo assuming it feeds them reliably.

I'm curious as to why one would want a pistol caliber rifle. Not crapping on anyone just wondering the philosophy of use for one. Fun gun, range toy, home defense? I have never been that interested in them but maybe there's something I don't see that might make me want one.

All of the above to include how convenient it is to pair it with the same caliber pistol out in the bush.

Imagine extending your side arms reach to 200 yards. That is what a pistol caliber carbine can do for you. So one cartridge is all you have to carry and it works in both guns from 0-200 yards.
