    ROSCOE 38 special +p

    anybody own of the these?
    does it work?
    is it worth the dough for a "truck gun"?
    I won't ask if you'd bet your life on it unless you've put 500-1000 rounds through it with NO troubles!

      Lots of YouTube reviews available. Many are by regular folk rather than YouTubers generating content. Have read some reviews. Have viewed a number of the YouTube videos. Got to admit, have been thinking hard about getting one. If they ever bring one out in .327 Magnum, they are going to sell a boat load. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

          Except for the absence of the ejector rod latch under the barrel they appear to be a copy of the earlier "J" frame S&W's, Rossi's and Taurus 85's. I would assume the internal parts would be similar. Construction (if I read correctly) is all steel.

          I don't own one but for $300+/- I would say it's worth the gamble.

          My 2 cents worth though, and only my 2 cents is that I prefer SS. My area is very high humidity and even a stainless gun will rust if not stored well enough. I carried one of my SS revolvers loose under the seat of my old farm truck thinking it would not rust and always be there if needed. After about 6 months it had developed some surface rust so my theory of a "truck gun" disappeared.

              Heritage is owned by Taurus (who also owns Rossi) so likely just a rebadged, or USA made J frame clone, similar to the Taurus 85 or similar Rossi models

                      well, I bought one.
                      It shoots REALLY GOOD. The trigger pull must be about 15 pounds double action, HOWEVER, it STAGES itself with a very pronounced click and you get that "flash sight picture" before you drop the hammer, and bingo, it's an "X" (bullseye) Groups good with every load I've put to. I LOVE this little thing.

                          Sounds like the trigger pull of the S&W "J" frames. I've cut the trigger springs down and reduced the tension on the main springs but it doesn't help enough to write home about. It's also easy to go too far. I shoot SA when possible.

                          Thanks for the update.

                              Looks like their original intent was to have an ejector rod latch and later abandoned that idea after the barrel lug was already in production.
