Rossi R351 38 Special DA/SA Police Trade-In Revolver

The rossi r351 38 special da/sa police trade-in revolver represents a reliable, service-grade option for shooters seeking a proven law enforcement defensive platform. These revolvers are sourced directly from police department inventories, showing honest holster wear and handling marks consistent with duty use. Each piece is mechanically inspected and functions as a solid, no-nonsense revolver chambered in the versatile .38 Special cartridge. The double-action/single-action trigger system provides a smooth, predictable pull for follow-up shots, while the compact frame offers balanced handling for range work or personal protection.

Overview

The Rossi R351 is a fixed-sight, six-shot revolver built on a sturdy steel frame. As a police trade-in, each example carries the character of service life but retains the core mechanical reliability expected from a Rossi revolver. The .38 Special caliber offers manageable recoil and excellent terminal performance with standard pressure loads. This model features a 2-inch barrel, making it easy to carry while still providing adequate sight radius for accurate shooting at defensive distances. The DA/SA action allows for both a heavier double-action first shot and a lighter, crisp single-action follow-up.
