Rossi Model 68

I just sold my "truck gun", a (in my opinion) sorry a____ed KelTec P11 and bought a used Rossi Model 68, 2", .38 Special in about 90%-95% condition. Seems like a decent gun, shoots to POA at ten yards, and while not having as smooth a trigger as my old S&W Model 36, is good enough for what I use it for. In looking at the schematic on the Numrich site they show available a side plate for this revolver. There is no side plate on mine. It shows on the side, "Imported by Interarms." Are these different than the ones made by Rossi? I've read postings on this forum that Rossi will not work on any of these imported by Interarms. Is this correct? Anyway if it gets stolen I won't lose many dollars.

Geez !!!
anyhow , unless you have a really 'old' rossi , you should be able to purchase a sideplate , may or may not need fitting or ??? who knows if you buy one if it will be right or work ???
Im just not sure I can figure out the logic (or lack there-of) in all this ???
Good Luck !!!

.....truck gun ?????.......
The blue finish is rich and deep, fitting is super, and operation is crisp and reliable. The DA trigger pull is steep, but other than that it has performed perfectly for 20+ years.
From the above, I think these are older models that may not be comparable to other production periods.
On the KelTec sunject, the gun did fire and eject and was relatively accurate, it simply isn't designed well. I never thought my hands were big, ring size #12 on right one and #10.5 on the left. My right hand simply wouldn't fit. They may be OK for men with smaller hands, or ladies, but then you have that 8.5 trigger pull and a two stage trigger at that. Mine weighed out closer to 9.5 pounds. So if you are happy with these, fine, I'm happy for you, but don't tell me what is good for me because you don't know.
I did not try and tell you what was 'good for you' , only you know that (or maybe you dont?)?, "sorry for the mistake" & "keltec SUNJECT" (whatever a SUNjcet is?)?Oh well , must have hit a nerve ....
Geez ...still not sure why the org. posts ...But ...Oh well .....
Have a Nice Day !!!
