The manual thumb safety is included.

The Rossi R92 Stainless .454 Casull gets consistent positive feedback from lever-action fans, particularly for the stainless and hardwood combination. Build quality is generally well-regarded at the price point, and the .454 Casull chambering draws interest from hunters who want a powerful compact rifle.

Recoil is the most common discussion point. Most users find it manageable with proper stance, but extended range sessions with full-power .454 loads tire people out. Using .45 Colt loads reduces this noticeably.

Accuracy gets mixed notes. Many users report good groups at hunting distances, but some find the rifle needs tuning or practice to shoot consistently. The lever action itself is frequently praised for smooth cycling. Reliability is generally positive.

Price-to-performance is a consistent positive. The R92 undercuts several comparable lever-action rifles in this caliber. Aftermarket accessory availability and customization options are noted as positives by enthusiasts who like to modify their rifles.

New shooters should be aware that .454 Casull recoil is significant, and testing with .45 Colt first is a reasonable approach.
