This listing is for a used, trade-in condition Rossi Interarms M33 chambered in .38 Special.

Overview

The Rossi Interarms M33 38 Special used trade-in revolver is a five-shot, steel-frame revolver built on Rossi’s small-frame platform. Originally imported during the Interarms era, these revolvers feature a 2-inch barrel, fixed ramp front sight, and a square-butt grip frame. The trade-in inventory we have received shows varying levels of cosmetic wear consistent with police or security service use. Mechanically, each revolver has been inspected for safe function, including cylinder gap, barrel-to-cylinder alignment, and trigger return. This rossi interarms m33 38 special used trade-in revolver is sold as-is cosmetically, with no refinishing or restoration performed. It is a no-frills, reliable option for those who need a functional .38 Special revolver without the premium of a collectible-grade piece.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .38 Special (5-shot cylinder) with a 2-inch barrel length and fixed front blade sight. Overall length measures approximately 7.5 inches with an unloaded weight near 22 ounces.
• Frame and finish: Carbon steel frame and cylinder with a blued or parkerized-type finish showing significant wear, including edge wear, holster rub, and minor pitting in isolated areas. No box, papers, or original grips included; aftermarket or replacement rubber grips may be fitted.
• Action type: Double-action/single-action revolver with a transfer bar safety mechanism. Double-action pull weight is consistent with used service revolvers; single-action let-off is crisp but may show creep. Cylinder crane and ejector rod are functional, though timing should be verified by end user before live-fire use.

Who It Is For

This used trade-in revolver is intended for budget-conscious shooters, left-handed or right-handed users who prefer a simple manual of arms, and collectors of Interarms-era Rossi imports. It is also suitable as a truck gun, range toy, or training piece for new revolver shooters. Because of its cosmetic condition, it is not recommended as a primary conceal-carry firearm without a thorough inspection and test-firing by a qualified gunsmith. The rossi interarms m33 38 special used trade-in revolver is also a viable option for parts or as a project gun, given the availability of aftermarket springs and grips. This is not a competition-grade revolver; it is a functional, utilitarian .38 Special with known service history.
