The Rock Island Armory M206 is a compact, all-steel revolver chambered in .38 Special and rated for SAAMI +P ammunition.

The M206’s carbon-steel frame, cylinder, and shrouded 2-inch barrel are parkerized for a non-reflective, corrosion-resistant finish. This hard-wearing treatment pairs with the revolver’s transfer-bar safety system, allowing safe carry with all six chambers loaded.
The double-action/single-action trigger gives shooters the choice of a smooth DA pull for defensive use or a light SA break for precision work. An exposed hammer makes cocking easy, while fixed sights—a ramp front and square-notch rear—offer a snag-free profile suited to concealed carry.
The revolver ships with checkered Philippine hardwood grips installed and a spare rubber finger-groove grip for enhanced control. Because the M206 accepts Smith & Wesson J-frame grip panels, users have widespread aftermarket options.
Five additional cylinder and extractor assemblies accompany this revolver, providing an uncommon level of support for long-term ownership or quick caliber service should the primary cylinder ever need replacement.
