I am new to this and I would like to know what people think about a pocket holster for a rossi model 351 2".

I really like Mika's holsters.
It looks like that Rossi is all steel. That might be a bit heavy for pocket carry. Only you can determine that.
Wrap your UNLOADED revolver in a cloth, such as a handkerchief and carry it throughout your day in your normal attire going about your normal activities. I'm sure you'll know if pocket carry works with your Rossi within a few hours.

BTW, I do pocket carry with a snubby. I did find out steel guns don't work for me. I carry one of two lightweight .38's (both Taurus) in my pocket (Mikas holster) at all times.

I carry my S&W Airweight .38 snubbie in a pocket holster everyday. The alloy frame really makes a difference. I have pocket-carried other handguns in the past, and although they were heavier, it still worked well.

Take a look at the Desantis Nemesis Holster. I have a S&W 637 that is carried in one of these.

I used to carry my S&W 649 .357 snub in a pocket holster made by Kramer it was very comfortable for normal carry but extended sitting like in a car on a long trip the holster and gun found a home between the seat and the console with my hand resting on the handle of the gun as I drive.

The Kramer holster is made of high quality leather. The particular firearm I own is made of solid stainless steel and is not real light it is actually heavier then the airweights. I have since pretty much changed over to using a different pistol and holster for my regular carry.

I hope this helps. I thought you might also want to consider some of the custom holsters available out there as well.
