Overview

The Rossi R351 is a traditional, medium-frame revolver designed around the proven .38 Special cartridge.

The revolver features a 4-inch barrel, fixed front and rear sights, and a smooth, double-action trigger pull. For the budget-conscious buyer, this rossi r351 38 special used trade-in revolver offers an affordable path to owning a dedicated wheelgun without the premium associated with new production models. The cylinder swings out for straightforward loading and unloading, and the firearm accepts standard .38 Special ammunition.
