A used Rossi Model 68 revolver in .38 Special, serial 222119, built around the 1980s. The round barrel is 3 inches, the finish is stainless steel, the sights are fixed and the grips are wood panels. The seller rates it good overall, which fits a working revolver of this age that has been carried and used rather than kept in a drawer.

This is a simple, compact double-duty revolver. The 3-inch barrel and .38 Special chambering suit a buyer who wants a home-defense handgun that is also easy to carry where local rules allow, and fixed sights mean there is nothing to knock out of adjustment. Stainless construction helps it hold up to regular handling. It is a budget-minded choice for a first revolver or a spare, not a collector's item.
