What’s Included
- Rock Island Armory M206 .38 Spl. revolver
The M206 is a six-shot, small-frame .38 Special built on an all-steel platform for durability. Its 2-inch barrel keeps the profile compact while the full underlug and ejector-rod shroud add protection and balance.
The revolver uses a double-action/single-action system with a transfer bar safety. It comes with a smooth-face trigger and an exposed spurred hammer for confident control in either mode.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed integral ramp front sight and a square-notch channel rear. The Parkerized matte finish on the frame, cylinder, and receiver provides a uniform, low-glare surface.
The round-butt frame is fitted with factory black rubber finger-groove checkered grips bearing RIA medallions. The barrel uses a right-hand 1:18 twist, and the bore condition is excellent with sharp rifling.
Origin is the Philippines, and the revolver bears an APINTL Pahrump NV import mark along with a small UB inspection stamp on the crane, supporting its documented production and import history.
