Sourced from law enforcement agencies, these trade-in revolvers carry a history of professional use and routine maintenance.

Overview

The Rossi R351 is a classic police trade-in revolver built on a sturdy steel frame. It features a 2-inch barrel, making it compact enough for concealed carry while retaining enough sight radius for accurate shooting. The double-action trigger pull allows for rapid follow-up shots, while the single-action mode provides a lighter, more precise trigger for deliberate aiming. This specific lot consists of authentic law enforcement trade-ins, meaning each revolver shows holster wear, handling marks, and the character of active duty. The Rossi R351 38 Special DA/SA Police Trade-In Revolver is a working tool, not a collector piece. Cylinder timing, lockup, and bore condition are verified prior to shipment.
