Overview

The Rossi M951 is a fixed-sight, K-frame-sized revolver manufactured by Rossi of Brazil, a company with decades of experience producing affordable yet durable firearms. As a police trade-in, each Rossi M951 38 Special Police Trade-In Revolver has undergone a period of departmental service, meaning the mechanical break-in period is complete. The action is typically smooth from years of use, and the barrels exhibit rifling that remains serviceable for accurate shooting. These revolvers feature a traditional double-action/single-action trigger system, a shrouded ejector rod, and checkered walnut-style grips that provide a secure hold. Each unit is inspected prior to sale to ensure safe mechanical function, though cosmetic condition will vary.
