For under three hundred dollars, you get a piece of working gear that will still do the job on the range, in the glovebox, or as a camp gun.

Overview

The Rossi M68 is a stainless steel revolver with a 2-inch barrel, making it compact enough for concealed carry or backup use.

The finish shows character marks from years of service, but the timing, lockup, and cylinder indexing have been checked by our gunsmiths. This rossi m68 .38 spl police trade-in revolver features a traditional double-action trigger pull and a shrouded ejector rod. It is a straightforward, no-frills revolver that points naturally and handles standard pressure .38 Special loads without issue.
