The Rossi company was established in 1889 by the Italian gunsmith Amadeo Rossi (Belluno, May 15, 1862 — São Leopoldo, January 18, 1956). In the 1970s, Rossis began to be distributed in the United States by Interarms Virginia. This continued until 1997, when Rossi founded BrazTech, their own subsidiary representative in North America .
A total of 1,004,675 Model 1892 rifles were made by Winchester, and it was exported internationally, becoming very popular in South America and Australasia. Although Winchester stopped manufacture in 1941, today versions are still being made by the Brazilian arms maker Amadeo Rossi, and by Chiappa Firearms, an Italian maker.
Along with the 971 Rossi also produces the Model 972. This is a polished stainless steel version of the 971 with a 6" barrel length. Both revolvers have a rubberized finger-groove grip and adjustable rear sight (both windage and elevation). The 971 and 972 are both produced in Brazil by Taurus Firearms Ltd. under license from Rossi USA.
