- Hey guys! A little trigger time with the Rock Island Arsenal M206 spurless revolver, to see if it is truly a good budget gun with a price point of under $300. It is available at General Coin and Gun Exchange in Eau Claire Wi. Check out the link to their website below! Thanks for watching, and don't forget to tell your friends about us!

Tooling marks don't mean diddly in a gunfight. As long as the gun works, that's what matters. The price is kept down because they didn't do the extra machining to make it look pretty. So take it for what it's worth.
On the other hand, I used to have a S&W model 10 snub that was a beautiful piece of machine work. Fit, finish, and function was flawless. However, it wouldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 10 paces. So take that also for what it's worth.
As for me, I value function over looks.
It certainly went bang every time it was asked to!
Thanks for your post. I picked up a Rock Island M206 revolver recently. It came with the wood grips and the larger plastic grips. I have found that by gripping the larger bulb at the base of the wood grips, it avoids injuries from recoil at the top of the backstrap.
Great vid. Picked up one of these up for my wife. $280. Left the wood handle on for her small hands, but the rubber grips will stop the pinch for bigger hands. (A tighter grip/hold will solve that pull to the left. Did for me at least.) Thanks again!
I have owned a Armscor 200 for about 10-years. During this time period I have shot plenty of +P loads through this Colt Police Positive look-a-like! The Model 200 has the profile, the frame, clockwise cylinder rotation, and a very thick steel top strap that reinforces against the hotter blast of shooting +P ammo. I would not shoot any +P+ ammo through your 206. That load is too close to the .357 magnum. My shooting has been much with the Model 200. One of the features that attracted me to it was its likeness to the 1976 Colt Police Positive .38 Revolver. The grip portion of my 200's frame will accept Colt D-Frame Grips with no problem. I have a set of Pachmayr Grips that is sized for the Colt Detective Special on my Armscor. The Model 200 is a "dead ringer" for the 1976 Police Positive. That was the attraction to me. I got a very good, very rugged, .38 Revolver , that had had hundreds of rounds put through it, both regular .38's and about 200-rounds of the hotter +P rounds that some are afraid to fire in their Armscor. It will handle a limited amount of +P ammo, just use it sparingly. The Model 206 looks like the Colt Diamondback .38 with a 2-inch barrel. Most owners will say their 206 looks Detective Special, nah, the Diamondback with a short barre. The D-Frame Grips of the Colt Diamondback will fit your Armscor Model 206. You have a neat little snubnose that will do an excellent job of protecting yourself. Thanks for showing us!
From that distance, your groups were pretty good. Shooting from roughly the same distance I was getting similar results. But one thing I learned that dramatically improved my groups, and this is a secret I prefer no one else to know, was that when I stepped into about 6 inches from the target I was amazed at how well my grouping improved. lol
🤣
@@GunTimezwhat's the difference between the 206 and the 200
@craigfinley2507 I owned the M200, it has bigger rubber grips (iirc) and a 4 inch barrel. And of course, a hammer. This specific version of the M206 doesn't have a spur. If you buy it new it sometimes comes with the M206 grips, too.
Seems like this would be the perfect go-anywhere gun that every guy needs, something cheap and reliable that you can beat the hell out of without shedding a tear...I'll pick one up in the nickel finish I think.
Shoots +p just fine. Both the wood grips and the black plastic tactical grips work just fine. The gun is just as good as anything out there. Please respond.
I have the exact same gun, and love it. As to the biting, it's a matter of how you're gripping it, I learned that the old fashioned way. Ü As to +p, out of a 2" barrel, why bother? And as excellent as the gun is, their customer service is even better! If there's anything wrong with the gun, they'll repair it or replace it with absolutely no hassle. Amazing gun and amazing company.
Comparing the m 206 to a S & W 442 (my other snub) is like comparing a C 10 to an El Camino. Both are 1/2 ton pick ups, but the C 10 is less refined. If you ever do ned to use a gun in self-defense, refinement won't be an issue.
Love the Canadian bros! God bless you my man!
I've done that a few times, forget to pop in the ear plug. Awww it's terrible! And that's a sweet little revolver for a little over 200 bucks! Good video brother!
LetFreedomPing hey man, thanks for watching and commenting!
Wish they made this in a 10 shot .22lr ... I think they would sell :-)
Or even an 8 shot but fuck yeah they'd sell
@@BamBlamboTv That would work for me , Id buy it ...
I just bought ☝️ last Friday and it’s supposed to be delivered tomorrow to my local FFL dealer, I’m excited 😊
I feel like a large amount of lefties have M206 pistols. This is the third video I've seen with a left handed shooter reviewing one.
Im lefty and also got one. Opening the chamber with this gun is easy for a lefty. Partially why i bought it.
I have one, and I'm a lefty 🙂
Nice revolver. I've almost bought a RI revolvers a couple times now. They look really well made.
Muzzle First yeah, it seemed reliable enough!
The gun shop I go to had a used one of these for sale and tough decision as they also had a used bersa cc .380 and already having another bersa wanted the concealed carry one but if I should see one of these again it will be mine as a lot of videos are positive on these for what u pay. Thanx and take it easy.
nice stuff guys! keep up the awesome work!
I have this gun in nickle. It's a good little shooter, much better than the video shows. It's never bitten me but I use the rubber grips.
I bought the version with a hammer a couple of weeks ago. My only complaint is that the hammer rubs against my skin when I carry inside the waist band. I prefer the wood grips on mine.
Bought one awhile back before 8 took it out I put the black grips on it the black grips does take out aliitle bit of recoil still a decent revolver love mine
Nice gun review. Looks like I found my next purchase.
I purchased mine for $258 and am waiting to pick it up after my ten day waiting period. I do most of my shooting from 21 feet and closer do to most confrontations occur at conversational distances.
It holds one more round than my chief special and doesn't have a hillery hole for a lot fewer dollars. Sounds like something I would like to have.
Why people don't like the Hilary hole
For the sake of science. Cool you just got another subscriber .
Those composite grips feel better but do mess up speed loaders a tad.
My next purchase 4 sure. I'm sure it shoots a lot better than you did lol. Hope it didnt ruin your hand modelling career.
The third group was pretty tight. Disappointing that the spurless pinched the hand, because I own the 206 with the hammer, which also tends to catch my thumb web. Definitely will switch to the rubber grips!
The frame is like a Mk V Police Positive. I have tiny hands and hoped it was like the Colt D Frame. Handled one in a gun show (Philippines, my home country) it was an old hard-chromed 3"-barreled gun with club like rubber grips with one finger groove.
Double action. Way to go!
Great reliable quality guns Rock island...
M206 looks kick ass. Long live belly guns!
Trigger job is a piece of cake! Stop shooting so far away, the average gun fight happens 0 to 3 feet away so a snub nose need not shoot 15 yards away just 1 and 5 at most, and that pistol was made on 100% Colt tooling so that makes it a Colt just not finished as pretty same as the 1911’s they make they are Colt model 70 series 1911’s made yep you guessed it Colt tooling and people think they are junk because they are made in the Philippines well they are not try one out you won’t be disappointed!!!
oh golly ..it's a good gun you betcha
president excellent have young guns revolver fantastic great alot of fun shooting there is great^
Did it come with the hammer like that , i thought they were all Da Sa
The thumb forward grip works for Automatics, not for revolvers.
I thought about buying one to make a Fitz Special.
Me too. BUT I AM NOT CUTTING THE TRIGGER FACE OUT. Good luck if you do.
Hey at least it goes BANG!! 💥
Got Cartridges??
I don't know what I think about this gun. Today I must have had 1 light primer strike on each of 5 different cylinder loads. They were reloads... but still. It does have a light double action trigger, so maybe its not getting the umph. I don't know.
Now that it's been two years since you made the video do you still have the pistol and what do you think of it now? Thanks for the video
Btw, it's Rock Island Armory, not Rock Island Arsenal.
I am from the UK , enjoyed your video. Why is it that you either have the hammer or it is shrouded , why do they never make a low-profile hammer which is heavily rounded so it doesn't catch on clothing , it always seems to be one or the other
That would be a cool concept.
Smith and wesson does make one with a hammer spur that is mostly guarded by the frame to minimize catching on clothes but is still accessible for single action
The wood is pretty. Can you put Glow in the dark sights? Does it take moon clips?
I love this just can’t find ammo
Wish they made this in a 10 shot 38 spl I think they would sell
Looks too uncomfortable too shoot which means it will never get used . Great review
Just at little advice you should not hold a revolver like you hold a pistol with your thumb down the cylinder talk it back in so you don't blow the tip off Other than that good video man
What the trigger pull wieght on double action
Bout ten lbs
Better accuracy if you keep your eyes open very nice video though bud
chateroakfirearmschannel send me a link
WW3 PREPPER ua-cam.com/video/EZ7l-RdVvH0/v-deo.html
So you're left handed? Also I heard the trigger weight is about 4-6 pounds, pretty good for a double action only
Why do you close your eyes for? Can t do that if it's the real thing.
He sounds like a Canadian??
Did he just close his eyes everytine he shot ???
Had one. Absolutely sucked. Great for the first 200 rounds, then it would fail to fire 4 out of 6 rounds. Sent it to RIA....they allegedly fixed it, but not so much. Spend a few bucks extra for a j frame or LCR. This is a P O S
Me to but of you clean all the oil out of it and replace the hammer spring with a S&W 9lb hammer spring it becomes a completely different gun. Will be 100% reliable.
@@erichuff6945 what model do you get the spring from
get two one in each hand
if they use it in eau claire...well, the people's republic of wisconsin has always been a death trip....
president is good "
*¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡""YOURNAME MUST-BE JACK RUBY""!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
you flinch to much
Looks like pilot error! Not the gun!
you not using proper grip
Talk too much
I don't recommend revolvers today. They do work of course but modern semi-auto are more effective & more popular.
From: Active Armed Self Protection
*Their DATA*
CCW Calibers used in America:
- 70% of the U.S. use 9mm
- 10% use .40 S&W
- 9% use 45 ACP
- 11% use *"other"* caliber
Notes:
- The 11% *"other"* calibers include the .22LR, .25, .32, 380, .357 mag., .44 mag., 10mm, 5,7x28mm, etc.
- The Worlds usage of 9mm is probably even higher than above U.S. figures.
*Informed (opinion) conclusion:*
1. Mouse gun calibers are not recommended for self-defense.
2. Best caliber(s) to use for CCW is the *9mm.* World police & World military agree with this
as most folks use the 9mm including US police & military.
Stay safe

Who cares? Carry what you want and what works for you. Other than trying to shill for that guy from ASP it was pretty pointless putting all that into a review comment.
@@LionquestFitness I would say from the overwhelming numbers of people, organizations (FBI, MI5, Homeland, etc.), police, & military that the pistol using 9mm is what *_everyone cares for._*
Unusually negative comment from positive facts. Who are you "shilling" for I wonder - the gun industry maybe??
Nice try *Lionquest Fitness.*
As of Oct 16, 2018 they no longer ship with rubber grips. Neither do they sell those. A deal breaker for me.
Negative. Just picked mine up with the extra grips.
I got mine with rubber grips in december 2019
I got rubber grips with mine May 2020
Just got one. Mid april 2024
Armscor no good is not durable
