This Brazilian company was founded in 1881 by an immigrant Italian gunsmith, growing to become the largest independent gunmaker in South America. Rossi has made rifles, shotguns, revolvers and even a few automatic pistols. The revolvers are based on Smith & Wesson solid frame, double-action designs. In 2008 Forjas Taurus, S.A. purchased the rights and the equipment to manufacture Rossi handguns. Taurus manufactures three models of .38 Special revolvers and four models of .357 Magnum revolvers under contract with Rossi. Revolvers sold by BrazTech with the Rossi name are manufactured in a brand new facility owned by Taurus in SaoLeopoldo, Brazil. Much of the tooling and many of the machines were acquired from Rossi during negotiations between the companies.
