Hello Group:

The Rexio-Pucara revolvers, from Argentina I think, are becoming very modestly
priced. Current varieties are .22lr (9shot) with 6 and 4 inch barrels; and
.38special (6shot) with 4 inch barrel. Anyone had experience with this breed,
and how do they work? Please E-mail me with comments, and post if you like
too. I don't always get back to view the rec guns ng postings in time. Thanks
very much.
Very best regards, Maurice E. Hebert

Walk Softly, and Carry.

I ordered one in .32H&R right after they came out. Cylinder timing was way out:
two were out over 1/2 diameter. Pulled side plate to check internals and they
appeared to be aluminum; hand wore leading edge in half just checking gun out.
Sent it back and haven't considered another.

I have the same exact question, and would appreciate e-mail/post
replies. I know about getting what you pay for, but I need a cheap
.22 plinker, and you really can't beat $89 for a 9-shot .22 revolver
(I saw an ad in Shotgun News with that price). I'm sure it won't
last as long as a $300 Smith, but I just want to know if they shoot
OK and whether one will fall apart as fast as a Jennings... I heard
good things about Spanish guns in general...
Any feedback appreciated,
John A.
