Rock Island Armory M206 CA Compliant .38 Special Blue/Black Revolver

A: You should be able to get a set directly from Armscor/Rock Island or a distributor lead at Phone: (775) 537-1444.

A: yes you can here is the link to it from ria (advanced tactical) https://advancedtactical.com/products/parts/revolver-parts/m200-black-plastic-grip

A: It is not +P rated Mike. My personal opinion is 6rds for personal protection will be fine.

A: It is not +p rated while they (+P) would most likely be ok for rare usage as defense rounds there are some very good standard .38 special defense rounds

A: Jonathan, CA compliant just means Rock Island Armory submitted this pistol for CA DOJ approval for sale in California and it passed all test requirements. This M206 employs a standard spurred hammer and a "Black Parkerized Finish".

A: The main thin is that RIA (armscor) submitted this model and paid the state of CA for the "right" to sell their gun in CA. CA "tested" it and found it to comply with the laws its not a spur less it has a full hammer and it is SA/DA (single/double) email sent to buds for correction of description

A: John, this holster is hand crafted specifically for the Rock Island M206 : https://www.amazon.com/Cal38RIA-special-Handcrafted-Leather-Holster/dp/B01N25DRZ4 or if you want and IWB Holster : --- https://www.amazon.com/Island-Revolver-Waistband-Concealed-Holster/dp/B01CH5QALI

A: a holster built for a Colt Detective Special will fit.

A: Stacey, yes Ma'am, this will make an excellent 1st pistol. It will have very basic and simple operation. Once you get comfortable with shooting it, a semi auto pistol may be later on down the line for extra capacity in a similar size and weight pistol.The ammunition I would recommen for home defense is here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/56781/hornady+38+special+critical+defense+110+grain+critical+defen

A: I strongly suggest that before you get a gun you go to a local range that has rental guns and try out a few it would be even better if you can find a local range that gives a beginners lesson.

A: John, yes Sir, the M206 is rated for +P ammunition. Cheers and stay safe! ----- https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/review-rock-island-armory-m206-revolver/

A: John, it sure is. This will handle +p ammunition just fine. All of rock island armorys pistols are rated for +p. They recommend limited use as all manufacturers do because +p ammo can wear parts quicker than standard velocity ammo but unless you're shooting thousands of rounds I doubt you'll ever notice a difference vs standard velocity ammo. Hope this helps.

A: John, per RIA - "Yes all of our guns are +p ammo ready, but please use only when necessary." Have a great day!
