Rossi RM84

About the Rossi RM84

The Rossi RM84 is an eight-shot double-action/single-action revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle, manufactured by the Brazilian company Rossi (Amadeo Rossi / Braztech). Built around a swing-out cylinder that holds eight rounds of the economical .22 LR rimfire cartridge, it is aimed at recreational plinking, small-game hunting, and low-cost training. The RM84 carries a four-inch barrel, a black finish, and black rubber grips for a secure hold, with an exposed hammer allowing either a long double-action pull or a lighter single-action shot after manually cocking. Fixed sights and a serrated front blade keep the layout simple and rugged, while the high eight-round capacity and negligible recoil of the .22 LR make it an approachable range and field revolver.

Rossi has built firearms in Brazil since 1889, and its rimfire revolvers like the RM84 pack eight rounds of .22 LR into a swing-out cylinder - two more than the classic six-gun - making a single loading last noticeably longer at the range.
