Cheap pawn shop gun - Rossi .38 Spl

After I got the Bersa Thunder 380 at the pawn shop with three factory mags for $200 OTD, I see this Rossi 5-shot .38 Spl for $200. It looks to be in excellent condition, like new.

I could probably talk them down to $200 OTD or even less.

What do you think? Worth buying?

BTW, I am a Smith & Wesson snob, but I'll be darned if I'm going to use my prized nickel 27-2 in a defense shooting.

It looks just like this. I think it is the Rossi 351.

I have a Rossi M685. I pd $150 and have put about 300 rounds through it with no problems. I think $200 OTD is good...

I've got this same revolver and have had zero problems with it. FWIW, Academy sells them new for $259.99.

Here's mine:
