Overview

Rossi has long been recognized for producing affordable, dependable revolvers. The R351 model is a fixed-sight, six-shot revolver chambered in .38 Special. As a police trade-in, these revolvers have been carried extensively but fired relatively little, meaning the mechanical internals often remain in excellent condition. The double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger system allows for a heavier, consistent pull in double-action mode for defensive use, and a crisp, lighter single-action pull for more precise shots. The rossi r351 38 special da/sa police trade-in revolver is a straightforward, utilitarian tool designed to function when called upon.

Features & Specs

These revolvers are function-checked before listing. Common trade-in wear includes holster scuffing on the barrel and cylinder, bluing loss at the muzzle, and minor grip marring. Cylinder timing and lockup are verified. The rossi r351 38 special da/sa police trade-in revolver ships with one factory-style grip. Internal components are inspected for proper operation.

Who It’s For

This revolver is an excellent choice for the budget-minded shooter who prioritizes mechanical function over appearance. It is ideal for:

• New revolver owners seeking an affordable entry point into the .38 Special platform.
• Experienced shooters wanting a rugged truck gun, camp gun, or home defense option without investing in a new firearm.
• Collectors interested in acquiring a genuine piece of law enforcement history with authentic service wear.
• Individuals requiring a simple, manual-safety-free defensive tool that operates reliably under stress.
