The story of Rossi began in 1889, when Amadeo Rossi, an Italian metalworker, established a small workshop in São Leopoldo, Brazil. Initially producing household and agricultural tools, the company shifted to firearms manufacturing in the early 20th century, quickly earning a reputation for quality and affordability. Rossi's revolvers and rifles became staples in Brazil and, by the mid-20th century, found success in international markets, especially the United States. The 1970s saw Rossi's expansion into North America, first through Interarms and later via its own subsidiary, BrazTech. In 2008, the company joined forces with Taurus, ensuring continued innovation and growth. Despite changes in ownership and market focus, Rossi has remained true to its roots—delivering reliable, accessible firearms to shooters worldwide. Major milestones include the launch of the Rossi Princess revolver, the enduring popularity of the Puma lever-action rifle, and the development of the Circuit Judge. Today, Rossi stands as a testament to resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to serving generations of firearm enthusiasts.
