Rossi M685 38 Special 5-Shot Used Trade-In Revolver

If you’ve been looking for a reliable, no-nonsense revolver that won’t break the bank, the Rossi M685 38 Special 5-shot used trade-in revolver is a solid contender. This used trade-in model comes from a trusted Brazilian manufacturer known for making sturdy, functional firearms for decades. We’ve inspected each unit to ensure it’s mechanically sound, and the honest wear you’ll see tells the story of a revolver that has been carried and used—not just stored away. Perfect for those who appreciate a bit of character in their hardware.

Overview

The Rossi M685 38 Special 5-shot used trade-in revolver is a compact, five-shot revolver chambered in .38 Special. It features a 2-inch barrel, making it easy to conceal or keep in a nightstand drawer. Rossi built these with a solid steel frame and a simple, double-action trigger system that gets the job done without unnecessary frills. As a trade-in, each revolver shows some cosmetic wear from previous ownership—holster rubs, minor finish loss, and light handling marks—but the lockwork and cylinder timing remain functional. This is a working revolver, not a showpiece.

Features & Specs

• Chambered in .38 Special with a 5-shot cylinder: reliable, common ammunition that is easy to find and affordable for range practice or personal defense.
• 2-inch barrel with fixed sights: snag-free design for quick draw and intuitive aiming at close distances.
• Double-action/single-action trigger: fire it by simply pulling the trigger through a smooth double-action pull, or manually cock the hammer for a lighter, single-action shot.
• Steel frame construction: durable and built to last, with a weight that helps manage recoil without being too heavy for everyday carry.
• Used trade-in condition: each revolver has been function-checked by our gunsmith; expect honest wear including scratches, bluing loss, and possibly minor surface rust that does not affect safety or operation.

This Rossi M685 38 Special 5-shot used trade-in revolver weighs just over 20 ounces unloaded, making it a practical companion for those who want a simple, no-frills firearm. The rubber grips offer a secure hold even with sweaty hands, and the overall profile is slim enough to slip into a jacket pocket or a belt holster.

Who It’s For

This revolver is a great fit for budget-conscious shooters, first-time revolver owners, or anyone looking for a reliable truck gun or home-defense piece without spending a fortune. If you’re a collector of classic wheelguns, the wear on this used trade-in adds character and keeps the price accessible. It’s also a smart choice for someone who wants a backup gun for hiking or camping—the .38 Special round is versatile for both defensive and small-game use. Just be aware that this is a used firearm with cosmetic flaws; it’s not for someone expecting a pristine, safe-queen condition. But if you value function over finish, the Rossi M685 38 Special 5-shot used trade-in revolver delivers.
