Hard to say as the only people posting about it are usually the ones with issues... By the sounds if it and watching some YouTube videos... It's usually fixed with a bit of filling where the shells are hanging up.
I've had a chan e to try 3 different .357 rossis and they all functioned smoothly.

I'm not sure which ones you are referring to because the ones I have were not made for Brazilian guns specifically..... I beleive the ones I have were made for winchester 94's but obviously they can be made to work on the rossi's 92's as well.

As for the front sight height, I'm just going from what I see placing the sight on the gun and then looking down the sight line in comparison with the stock iron sights.

It's like the issue with the ranch hand to begin with..... rossi uses the same sights as there longer barreled 92's and they end up shooting to high.
The XS sights are also designed for longer barrels so logic suggests they will also shoot high and that's what my eyeball says when I mock up the rear XS and compare it to my existing sights. It sort of stopped me from drilling and tapping till I figure out a front sight base.

Who sells this set up?

I just finished my latest upgrade to my Rossi RH .45 Colt. Finally got around to fitting an XS rear sight to the wee thumper,but I'm happy with the results. Now I have a proper sight radius for the short bugger & a faster target acquisition and very clear sight picture for my eyes. A little fartin' around and tinkerin' has got me to a decent solution to sight selection for a carbine stocked Ranch Hand. I have the XS front sight in case the Marbles .570" height one prints low, but this set-up is far better for adjustability than the other options out there & I've tried them all, except for a tang sight...but that would be dumb.

I whittled the original safety lever down to a near-flush button to allow clearance fit for the XS rear sight.

I then cut down & contoured the factory Rossi rear sight to make a sight blank for the barrel slot.

A drilling job on the milling machine, followed by hand tapping had the rear sight mounted.

Next up will be my .357 RH carbine. For me, XS is the way to fly.

My .357 RH that I fitted out today with XS sights.
These are beauty sights and perfect for my eyes. Next range day will be fun.
