Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine

The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine is a lever-action rifle built on a proven platform that has served shooters for over a century. Chambered in .357 Magnum and .38 Special, this carbine offers the flexibility of two common revolver cartridges in a compact, fast-handling package. Designed for reliability and straightforward operation, it is a practical choice for target shooting, ranch work, and home defense.

Overview

The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine is a modern interpretation of the classic Winchester 1892 action, scaled specifically for pistol-caliber rounds. Its 16-inch barrel and 32-inch overall length make it highly maneuverable, while the tubular magazine holds up to ten rounds of .38 Special or nine rounds of .357 Magnum. The action cycles both cartridges interchangeably, allowing you to use lighter .38 Special loads for practice and full-power .357 Magnum for hunting or defense. The carbine features a blued steel barrel and receiver, a hardwood stock, and a visible hammer safety. This is a no-frills firearm built for consistent performance.

The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine uses a short-throw lever that cycles smoothly with minimal effort. The ejector and extractor are machined from hardened steel, and the bolt locks into the receiver for a secure chamber seal. Accuracy is consistent with factory ammunition, and the carbine functions reliably with both jacketed and lead bullets.

Who It’s For

This carbine suits a range of users. Shooters who already own a .357 Magnum or .38 Special revolver benefit from ammunition commonality and lower practice costs when using .38 Special. Hunters of small to medium game will find the .357 Magnum load adequate for deer at close range with proper bullet selection. The Rossi Model 92 357 Mag/38 Special Carbine is also a practical choice for property owners who need a lightweight, easy-to-carry rifle for varmint control or range clearing. Its short length and low weight make it accessible for new shooters, while the lever action provides a traditional feel for enthusiasts. Law enforcement and security personnel may also use it as a patrol carbine where handgun-caliber firearms are preferred.
