Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Rossi Model M88 is a compact, five-shot revolver chambered in .38 Special, designed with simplicity, reliability, and concealability in mind. Manufactured with a stainless steel frame and barrel, the M88 offers solid durability and resistance to corrosion, making it well-suited for both daily carry and home defense. With its short 2-inch barrel and modest 21-ounce weight, the M88 is optimized for close-range engagement and ease of concealment, particularly with its rubber grips that enhance control during recoil. The revolver features a serrated ramp front sight paired with a square notch rear, offering a basic but effective sight picture for rapid target acquisition.

Discontinued in 1998, the Rossi M88 reflects a classic approach to personal defense revolvers—affordable, straightforward, and built to handle standard-pressure .38 Special loads. Though it lacks the refinements of modern high-end carry revolvers, it retains a reputation for dependability and simplicity, especially among budget-conscious shooters. Its double-action trigger system adds a layer of safety while still enabling quick follow-up shots when necessary. The combination of practical features, low-maintenance stainless steel construction, and legacy as a working-class carry gun makes the M88 a noteworthy example of late-20th-century revolver design.
