Rossi .38 Special 885 Stainless 2 in Square Butt Interarms 1980s VG-Exc

Here is the Rossi 88 variant in its finest form, the Model 885 imported by Interarms in the middle to late 1980s, after the company achieved enough sophistication to put full lugs on the snubs. This is the 2 inch .38 Special Rossi, all stainless steel, with Brazilian Goncalo Grips. Note the fully traditional satin stainless wide hammer and trigger and pinned barrel construction on a square butt grip frame. This particular specimen served the people of Adamsville and McNairy County, Tennessee, as an off-duty weapon for one of APD’s late officers. It has small scuffs and scours here and there, none of which damage the revolver’s aesthetic appeal. Note that there are two tiny etchy pits on the external surface of one of the cylinders. There is some dulling to the grips, mostly on the butt end, and some runny effect on the rear side of the left panel. That part may be original to the revolver. We rate this revolver as about 90 percent finishwise, but the photos should suffice for interested parties to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore and cylinder chambers are clean, bright and excellent. Double action trigger pull is above average for smoothness, and the hammer travels an additional 10 degrees after the cylinder times into place on double action. On single action, the hammer travels a full 25-30 degrees after the cylinder times, and the single action trigger pull is a stiff but crisp 4 ¼ pounds. Blast effect to the frame topstrap underside above the forcing cone is minimal, so this revolver has not been fired very much, and certainly not with a lot of +P ammo.
