Overview

The Rossi M713 357 Magnum Police Trade-In Revolver is a stainless steel, six-shot double-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. Originally issued to police departments, these trade-ins have been inspected and function-checked by our armory team. The 4-inch barrel provides a balanced blend of concealability and sight radius, while the full underlug adds weight to tame recoil. Each revolver shows cosmetic wear consistent with service use, including holster scuffs and minor finish loss, but the actions remain tight and the cylinders lock up securely. This is a working firearm, not a safe queen.
