I would like a nice condition .38 Special revolver for my wife. I would prefer 2" barrel. Please reasonable pricing only.

Thanks!
 
  1. I agree to the classified rules and terms of service
FYI, BiMart has Rock Island .38 Special revolvers for $199.

They're nothing fancy, but for the price they're a pretty solid little gun. They do not compare with a S&W or Ruger, but they're a lot cheaper.
 
I've got zero experience with Rock Island... You think they are decent?
I have one too. It shoots fine and is reasonably accurate, plenty accurate for most purposes.

I did buy an old police trade-in S&W model 10 a few months after the Rock Island, and I do have to say that the Rock Island, though a very good value for the money, just doesn't compare with the S&W. Everything about the old Smith just felt so much better. You don't tend to find even well-used Smiths in that price range though.

The local BiMart here has some "discontinued" Taurus .38 revolvers too, for not much more. I know, Taurus is a bit hit and miss, but I've heard that their revolvers tend to be pretty decent for the price.

Thank you for all of your info and help... I'll hit up my local BiMarts and see what they have!
