The rossi r351 38 special da/sa police trade-in revolver offers a proven platform for shooters seeking a reliable, no-frills defensive or range revolver. As a former law enforcement service weapon, this trade-in model delivers the robust construction and functional design that made it a standard sidearm for many departments.

Overview

This Rossi R351 is a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) revolver built on a solid steel frame, designed to withstand the rigors of daily carry and frequent use. As a police trade-in, each unit carries the honest wear of service, including holster wear, minor surface scuffs, and handling marks. This is not a safe queen; it is a functional handgun ready for immediate use. The 2-inch barrel makes it compact for concealed carry or backup duty, while the .38 Special chambering ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard and +P ammunition. Every revolver has been inspected by our armorer to verify mechanical function, lockup, and timing.
