Re: Rossi .38 special for concealed carry?
They are not S&W J frames (unless you are in South America, then they are) but they are pretty close. I had a S.S. snubbie for a few years that I got for the wife. It shot okay but was a little much for her to shoot. All I can say was it went bang every time and shot were it was pointed.
