The 4-inch barrel uses a bull profile with a half-shroud and raised rib, paired with a fixed ramped front sight and fixed square-notch rear. This setup offers a solid, straightforward sight picture with durable components.
The steel frame wears a parkerized matte finish and a round-butt profile. The cylinder shows long teardrop-style flutes, and the revolver weighs approximately 1.76 lb, giving it a steady feel in hand.
Controls include a smooth-faced, curved trigger and an exposed hammer with a wide, serrated spur for confident cocking. A transfer-bar safety and floating firing pin are part of the design.
The barrel uses six-groove, right-hand rifling with a 1:16 twist, matching the .38 Special chambering and the six-round cylinder capacity.
Factory markings include APINTL – Pahrump NV, ACP Philippines, the Rock Island Armory crest/logo, and the Model 200 CAL .38 SPL. barrel rollmark. It was manufactured in the Philippines by Armscor and imported into the U.S. by APINTL.
