Overview

The Rossi M685 38 Special 5-Shot Used Trade-In Revolver is a compact, five-shot revolver built on a small steel frame. It features a 2-inch barrel with a full underlug, a shrouded ejector rod, and fixed ramp front sights paired with a fixed square-notch rear sight. The revolver utilizes a swing-out cylinder with a simultaneous ejection system. The finish is blued steel, and the grips are checkered hardwood. This specific batch of trade-in revolvers shows moderate to heavy exterior wear, but the bores and cylinders remain serviceable. This is an ideal gun for those seeking a low-cost revolver for plinking, truck gun storage, or as a project piece.

Who It Is For

This Rossi M685 38 Special 5-Shot Used Trade-In Revolver is suited for the cost-conscious shooter who wants a functional .38 Special revolver without a high price tag. It is also appropriate for collectors of discontinued Rossi revolvers, or for anyone needing a basic, no-frills defensive or recreational firearm.
