Rossi has been in the business of producing replica ‘92 Winchesters for decades now, and I own three of their 357 Magnum sixteen inch carbines, finding them to be exceedingly handy, very reliable, and accurate. This new Ranch Hand from Rossi is a good-looking, good-shooting Mare’s Leg at less than half the retail price of the Puma. The Puma Bounty Hunter from Legacy has been a hit, but is priced beyond what many are willing to pay for such a pistol, at $1250 US suggested retail. Anyway, the Mare’s Leg was really cool, and flung a craving upon me to someday have one, as it did upon a lot of folks.

McQueen carried 45-70 rifle cartridges in his gun belt for effect, but there is no way that those big cartridges would work through the action of a Model ‘92 Winchester. Like most things from Hollywood, there was a bit of fakery involved with that show. This style of weapon is commonly known as a Mare’s Leg, and was made popular by the old TV Western “Wanted: Dead or Alive”, starring Steve McQueen as Josh Randall. Making these arms as pistols means that if you can legally buy a handgun, you can legally buy these shortened rifle-style pistols. Like the Rossi Ranch Hand shown here, the Puma is basically a shortened Model ‘92 Winchester lever gun replica, but built from the beginning as a pistol, thus eliminating the need to register the weapon as a short-barreled rifle in the US. 1 in my book, ordered the mares leg one day and got it another day, always fast shipping and great prices on all products.Ībout eighteen months ago, I reviewed the Puma Bounty Hunter pistol.

The rossi rh92-57121 r92 ranch hand 6+1 45lc 12' is the best, buds gun shop is no.

I'll have to check my Ranch Hand manual, but I don't recall seeing that part. My Rossi Ranch Hand has also since everyone that picks it up wants to check it out.
