Overview

The Rossi M685 is a 5-shot revolver with a 2-inch barrel, fixed sights, and a traditional double-action/single-action trigger system. As a used trade-in piece, each revolver carries the honest wear of prior ownership. The Rossi M685 38 Special 5-shot used trade-in revolver features a blued carbon steel finish and checkered hardwood grips. The cylinder swings out on a crane for loading and unloading. This revolver does not include the original box, papers, or cleaning tools. What you receive is the firearm itself, a functional example of a classic snub-nose design. The action on these examples is typically smooth from use, with cylinder lock-up remaining solid. Expect cosmetic wear including thinning bluing on the muzzle and cylinder flutes, along with minor scratches on the frame.

Who It’s For

This revolver is intended for shooters who value simplicity and mechanical reliability over cosmetic perfection. The Rossi M685 38 Special 5-shot used trade-in revolver is a practical choice for a nightstand gun, truck gun, or backup role where finish wear is irrelevant. It is also suitable for left-handed shooters who prefer a revolver’s ambidextrous cylinder swing. New shooters on a strict budget will find this revolver a functional entry point into centerfire handguns. It is not a collector piece, nor a competition firearm. The 2-inch barrel limits sight radius and muzzle velocity, making it a close-range defensive tool. Those comfortable with fixing cosmetic imperfections may also appreciate the low entry cost for a functional revolver.
