Rossi and Taurus are both Brazilian companies. If they are related, it's beyond my meager ability to figure out Brazilian business relationships.

Hey, bud - great minds think alike!!
When I consider revolvers those with 5 shots seem like just enough to
start a gunfight, but you run dry pretty quickly.
Those with 6 shots are better, but when I saw that Taurus .357 with 7 shots,
that seems like the ticket. Previously to finding that one when surfing the web,
I had only seen 7 or 8 shots in .22's.
Speaking of deals on guns, check out a new thread that I'm starting on a great
Taurus deal at Academy, 5 hours only, NIB Taurus PT-140, $199.99,
on Black Friday (the day after Turkey Day).
By the way, I handled that Rossi revolver at Academy today, and it clearly
says "Taurus, Made in Brazil" on the weapon.
