| rossi 352 38 spl 5 shot
First time buyer of handgun. Competent dealer has me looking at a Rossi 352 ss 38 spl. Everything convinces me that this is a competent value in a home protection revolver. Any comments, opinions?

Blued or Stainless Steel? I haven't heard anything really negative about the Rossi wheel-guns. I only own their rifles though. For $300 new-in-box it would probably be a fine first .38. Plus, no one owns just 1 .38, got to start somewhere.

| Rossi Model 68
I bought a Rossi 68 a few months ago and am happy with it. It is supposed to be an exact copy of the S&W Model 36. I had bought a Model 36 made in 1967 with 3" pinned barrell in xlnt shape and gave it to my daughter as a birthday gift. While visiting her I had a chance to compare them side by side. The finishing, blue, grips, and appearance was identical. The trigger pull on the S&W was a bit better, Mine is a 2" barrell which I like a little better. I don't think, for the dollars involved, that you can go wrong on a Rossi.
