What's Included
- Lasserre S.A. Comanche II revolver chambered in .38 Special
The Comanche II pairs a 3-inch heavy-profile barrel with a full-length ejector-rod shroud for added protection and balance. Its carbon steel construction and polished blue finish extend across the frame and cylinder, giving the revolver a uniform, classic appearance.
It operates in double-action/single-action with an exposed, checkered hammer and a swing-out, six-shot fluted cylinder using a star extractor. A left-side sliding cylinder latch in the S&W style provides familiar, positive control for loading and unloading.
Sighting is straightforward, with a fixed serrated ramp front and a rear sight provision on the serrated, anti-glare topstrap. The ejector-rod shroud incorporates an open slot, and the overall setup emphasizes durability and simple, reliable alignment.
Ergonomics come from two-piece black synthetic finger-groove grip panels with inset medallions; note: the grip through-screw/escutcheon is missing, offering a secure hold in a compact, full-size format. The configuration is designed for steady control during double-action or single-action use.
Markings include "MADE IN ARGENTINA" and "LASSERRE S.A. AVELLANEDA ARGENTINA," along with the U.S. importer stamp "R.S.A. ENT., INC., OCEAN, N.J." The Argentine Comanche II (often associated with Rexio) is a distinct line, separate from the Spanish Llama "Comanche/Super Comanche" revolvers.
