 Hey there friends thanks for checking in. Today we're going to do a comparison with the new to the US SAR SR38 357 Magnum Revolver. This one has a 6 inch barrel along with the Rossi RP63 357 Magnum 3 inch barrel. It's important to note that both SAR and Rossi make other models that would be more comparable. For example SAR makes a 4 inch model called the SR38 with a 4 inch model and many of those have been out for a while especially the blued models. You'll see those, they have been in the US. This one is very hard to find at this moment. And then Rossi makes a RM66 with a 6 inch barrel. Now those would be more equal comparisons however I've had several requests of people asking hey just compare those as they are we want to see the differences. So I'm trying to meet that need today. Let's start with the SR38. The rubber grip is pretty cool. I like wood grips on stainless steel revolvers but it certainly works. It does have finger grooves in there. Nice overall feel. Nice look to it as well. Love the full size revolvers. You know the accuracy is so so nice and the weight behind it just cuts down on that 357 Magnum recoil. This is a 6 shot 357 Magnum push forward cylinder release and the cylinder rotates counterclockwise. The crane, the ejector, the cylinder release, the trigger, the hammer all looks air coated to me but they are black and the sights the rear sight is fully adjustable both windage and elevation. I didn't have to do a thing by the way. Tall ramp sight full solid under lug. So it's definitely heavy. It certainly cuts down on the recoil to 357 Magnum. The single action trigger breaks right at four pounds. It is so nice. Double action heavy. You have to use those finger muscles. You need hand strength for that but the single action is so nice. There is no transfer bar safety but there are internal safeties most like many revolver smith and wesson produces so no worries there. A lot of people ask do you need to put a or keep an empty chamber in there and the answer is no. You just don't. Right around 700, 750 bucks is what it's showing for hopefully it'll show up in some of those retailer stores. I don't know what the deal is with that but here we have the RP63 made by Rossi. So happy Rossi's back in the game making revolvers. This also shock rated the range. I shot them on the same day and I just had a 357 Magnum field day out there. Really enjoyed it. It has a rubber grip there. Bumps air Rossi emblem. I really like the width of the trigger. That is really wide. I'm going to compare these in a bit. Three inch full under lug barrel. Shorter front sight tunnel rear sight. Push forward cylinder release. Six shot 357 Magnum. Large, large real estate right there on the hammer and it has a firing pin on the hammer much like the original one I bought many years ago and so I think that's certainly cool. Once again no transfer bar safety and no reason to keep a chamber unloaded for safety purposes. Very nice revolver performed great at the range. Rossi is marketing the CCW people with this revolver. They are looking not to add a bunch, you know, a long grip, a longer barrel with this model. They're looking for people who want to carry a revolver. They don't want to deal with some of the magazine issues in jams and so forth with semi auto handguns. So that's what they're looking to do. Now the the single action trigger pull here measures right at six pounds but I will tell you that it doesn't feel that way. My trigger scale is not lying to me. It's pretty accurate but the width of that revolver is very nice. I think that cuts down on the weight that the felt weight to the trigger is much lighter than what the trigger scale is measuring at in my opinion but that single action trigger certainly is nice. I love single action triggers on revolvers both of these work just fine. Let's compare them now. We'll look at the the finish more of a matte stainless finish with the SR SR 38 compared to a little more shine with the Rossi RP 63. The cylinders look similar both rotate counterclockwise. Let's look at the hammers. The hammer on the right is a Rossi. It's much wider so when you grip that you just get a better feel for it. Adjustable sights, tunnel sights. As I mentioned the RM 66 made by Rossi has adjustable sights and that one goes for the lower 600s so at least MSRP. MSRP on this by the way 461 so both of these are priced very well. The grips I'm going to go with the SAR it's a full-size grip even though this is made for CCW people I think this grip is is really nice. Now the single action trigger pull love them both. I don't know that I ever met well I have but quality made single action revolvers or I will say that the trigger pulls are typically really nice but I like the SAR a little bit better it just is so clean at four pounds it really is it is so nice. The shooting and then shall I say the reliability with both of these were great. I mentioned I shot these side by side at the range and both of the rounds fed and fired no problem well fed that's a semi-auto correction there but they did they they worked great and everything was was fine the top strap we'll look at those okay so here we have the tunnel sight you can see the difference in the the shine I've got my light shining down there both are completely fine the by the way if you go with this with the four inch model the SR 38 it's selling for in the mid 500s this has an MSRP of 461 and it's currently selling for that so that's uh something worth considering the Ross Rossi is less whether it's this or the RM 66 MSRP 621 on that trying not to be confusing but overall I think both look well pretty cool they they both shoot really nice and I enjoyed both of them for their intended purposes with the six inch barrel I'm going to say it's more accurate I think that's a fair statement it's kind of undisputed but this was really accurate for a three inch barrel I felt completely in control with this revolver as I shot them both very nice looking revolvers I think the Rossi looks a little cooler being a little smaller a little more shine to it I like the sight picture with the larger rear sight opposed to the tunnel sight but once again this is made for carry so that's the differences those are the differences we'll take a look before we wrap this up with the cylinder gap and we'll see that both are kind of equal they look they look to be the same too so you want to keep that thumb away when when firing to keep it clear of that cylinder gap that can uh possibly send it to the hospital depending on the load you have to adjust your grip for all those semi auto shooters out there when shooting revolvers but these are two quality made revolvers happy to have them and hopefully those who wanted a comparison just got it and I enjoyed making this video if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
