Overview

The Rossi M951 38 Special Police Trade-In Revolver is a double-action revolver manufactured by Rossi, a brand with a long history in the firearms industry. This model features a 4-inch barrel, a full underlug, and a fixed sight configuration that was standard for police issue sidearms. The revolver comes with a parkerized or blued finish, depending on the specific lot, and exhibits the cosmetic wear typical of a firearm that has spent years in a holster or duty locker. Despite the exterior condition, these revolvers are mechanically sound and ready for range use, home defense, or as a backup piece.

Features & Specs

The Rossi M951 38 Special Police Trade-In Revolver is built around a solid steel frame and a six-round cylinder. It operates with a smooth double-action trigger pull and a crisp single-action option for precision shooting. Below are the key specifications and features of this revolver.

• Caliber: .38 Special, with a six-round cylinder capacity. This revolver is not rated for +P ammunition unless specified by the manufacturer, and standard pressure .38 Special loads are recommended.
• Barrel length: 4 inches, featuring a full underlug that adds weight to the front end for reduced muzzle rise during rapid fire.
• Action: Double-action and single-action trigger system with a transfer bar safety mechanism. The revolver includes a hammer-mounted firing pin.
• Finish: Parkerized or blued steel, with visible holster wear, scratches, and handling marks consistent with police trade-in condition.

Who It’s For

The Rossi M951 38 Special Police Trade-In Revolver is best suited for budget-conscious shooters, collectors of police surplus firearms, and those who prefer the simplicity of a revolver over a semi-automatic pistol. It appeals to individuals looking for a range gun that can handle regular shooting sessions without the higher cost of a new firearm. This revolver is also a viable option for a home defense piece or as a truck gun, provided the user is comfortable with the cosmetic wear and the standard pressure ammunition requirement. It is not recommended for users seeking a pristine, collector-grade firearm or those who need a revolver for concealed carry due to its full-size frame.
