you can slick up a rossi and delete the safety very easily if you have a modest amount of mechanical aptitude. All you need are a couple of punches a small hammer, some fine sand/emery cloth or stone, and some screw drivers. You will want to buy a spring kit which is about $30 dollars. You can make your own plug for the former safety or buy one from Steve. There are several you tube videos that show how to take down and reassemble.
You do roll dice when you buy a rossi, but if you get a good one they are really nice, can easily fit a peep or tang sight on them and/or buy a scope mount for a scout scope from NOE.
If you wonder about rossi's go to the Rossi Rifleman Page they discuss them in great detail and those guys will help you with any problems you might have.
