The Rock Island Snub Nose .38 Special… A Good Little Gun That Won’t Break Your Wallet

Not only am I always on the lookout for a great deal on a new gun, but it has to fit my budget, especially now during all of this Coronavirus  nonsense. ‘Back in the day’, I could afford to buy a shiny new gun and (within reason of course), money usually wasn’t an issue. But since this pandemic has hit our economy, money is tight for almost everyone.

That’s when I came across the Rock Island M206 38 Special, it is small enough to conceal easily, packs a good punch at close range and the price isn’t bad at all. I’ll place some details and specs about this little piece beneath the video for you to check-out for yourself.

This is what the folks at Rock Island Armory have to say about their products:
