Armscor M200 Rocki 51261 38Sp 4 6R Blk
The Rock Island Armory M200 is a compact 38 Special revolver built for shooters who want straightforward, reliable self-defense without complexity. This six-shot wheelgun combines single and double-action capability in a frame that's sized right for carry—compact enough to conceal, rugged enough to trust when it matters. With a 4-inch half-shroud barrel, the M200 points naturally and delivers the accuracy most defensive situations demand, while its black parkerized finish resists corrosion in field conditions.
Rock Island Armory has engineered the M200 around accessibility. The fixed-sight setup keeps your sight picture simple and fast, the combat polymer grip provides secure purchase in wet or gloved hands, and the dual-action capability lets you choose between measured double-action trigger control or faster single-action follow-ups. Weighing 1.76 pounds and measuring 8.78 inches overall, it's light enough for extended carry without fatiguing your hand or waistband.
38 Special remains the standard for defensive revolvers—proven ballistics, common ammunition, and manageable recoil make it ideal for shooters who value reliability over novelty. Whether you're a first-time revolver buyer or adding a backup gun to your rotation, the M200 delivers the no-frills performance that defines practical self-defense gear.

Can I fire the M200 in both single and double action?
Correct. The M200 features both single and double-action capability, so you can cock the hammer for controlled single-action shots or use the longer double-action trigger pull for rapid, intuitive defensive fire without manually cocking.
