Detailed Features 

The lever cycles smoothly and feeds reliably with standard .45 Colt loads. Drift-adjustable buckhorn sights give you windage correction without tools for the rear, and the front is fixed. 
 
At 5.7 lbs and 33.7 inches, the R92 is light for a rifle chambered in .45 Colt. The stainless finish holds up to outdoor use without the maintenance demands of blued steel. Brazilian hardwood stock gives it a traditional look that suits the action style. 
 
The thumb safety is a Rossi addition to the original 1892 design — some traditionalists remove or ignore it, but it's there for those who want it.

The Rossi R92 Stainless in .45 Colt draws generally positive feedback with a few consistent discussion points.

The stainless finish gets widespread appreciation for both its look and its practicality — it holds up in wet conditions better than blued alternatives. The .45 Colt caliber is well-regarded for versatility; owners use it for hunting, cowboy action shooting, and as a truck gun. Accuracy at moderate distances is consistently praised, and feeding reliability is a strength most owners note.

The lever action itself is usually described as smooth and intuitive, accessible to newer shooters while still satisfying to experienced ones.

Weight and balance opinions split: some find the 5.7 lb package ideal for carrying afield, while others find it a touch heavy for extended carry. The aftermarket for the R92 is active, with options for optics mounts, recoil pads, and other modifications that appeal to owners who want to personalize it.

The R92 is frequently compared to Marlin and Henry lever guns. The consensus is that it holds its own on features and price, though opinions on barrel and action quality relative to those brands vary by owner. At its price point, most users consider it solid value for a stainless lever gun in a classic pistol caliber.
