What’s Included
- Rossi Model 69 .32 S&W Long revolver (3-inch barrel, 6-shot)
The Model 69 pairs a compact size with a 3-inch barrel, giving it practical proportions for carry or range use while retaining a full-size sight radius for a revolver of this class. It uses a 6-shot fluted cylinder and a traditional DA/SA action with an exposed hammer.
Construction is all carbon steel with a factory blued finish across the frame, cylinder, and barrel. The barrel has a short underlug and a knurled ejector rod tip. The trigger has a smooth face, and the hammer incorporates a hammer-mounted firing pin.
Sighting equipment is straightforward and durable: a fixed serrated ramp front sight paired with a fixed rear notch. The grips are checkered hardwood in a round-butt profile for a secure hold and compact footprint.
Markings include INTERARMS ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA; MADE IN BRAZIL; and AMADEO ROSSI S.A. SÃO LEOPOLDO R.G.S., reflecting its Brazilian manufacture and U.S. import history. Additional identifiers include the circular Rossi logo on the sideplate and the model marking "M 69" in the yoke cut.
Per period factory data, the revolver weighs approximately 600 g, aligning with its compact, steel-frame configuration and 3-inch barrel length.
