Overview

The Rossi 38 Special Police Trade-In Revolver is a classic six-shot revolver built on Rossi’s durable frame design. Originally carried by law enforcement personnel, these revolvers have been cycled through department inventory and are now available to civilian buyers. Each Rossi 38 Special Police Trade-In Revolver features a standard 4-inch barrel, fixed sights, and a blued finish that may show holster wear, handling marks, or minor surface scratches consistent with police service. The action remains crisp and functional, and the cylinder locks up tight. This is a working firearm, not a safe queen, and it delivers the same .38 Special performance that officers have relied on for decades.
