Features & Specs

This revolver is built on Rossi’s proven five-shot frame, chambered in .38 Special. The barrel is a 2-inch length, making it easy to conceal or carry as a backup. The blued finish shows typical holster wear, but the action is smooth and the timing is tight. Here is what you can expect:

• Five-round cylinder capacity in .38 Special; swing-out cylinder for quick loading and unloading
• 2-inch barrel with fixed sights; snag-free profile for concealed carry
• Single-action and double-action trigger capable; smooth double-action pull from the factory
• Overall length of approximately 6.5 inches; weight around 22 ounces unloaded

These are police trade-ins, so you will see holster wear, scuffs, and possibly some minor surface rust spots. But the mechanicals are sound, and the barrels are clean. The Rossi M88 38 Special police trade-in revolver is a straightforward, functional tool that does not pretend to be something it is not.
