What's Included
- Rossi M88 revolver
The M88 is built on a small stainless-steel frame with a 2 inch stainless barrel and a stainless cylinder, delivering a durable, corrosion-resistant package. The compact round-butt profile and black checkered rubber grips with finger grooves offer a secure in-hand feel.
Its DA/SA action uses a smooth trigger and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur. The frame-mounted firing pin and S&W-pattern push-forward cylinder release provide a familiar operating layout.
The barrel is finished with a recessed crown and partial underlug, and the ejector rod is non-shrouded. Sighting is straightforward with a serrated ramped front sight and an integral rear gutter/notch milled into the top strap.
Origin and markings include "MADE IN BRAZIL" with Interarms "ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA" import marks and the IND. BRAS. / MARCA REG. crest. This example is a 5-shot small-frame stainless snubnose, and the yoke/crane shows assembly number 4611.
