Overview

Rossi has manufactured the Model 461 for decades as a rugged, medium-frame revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. The used police trade-in revolver you are considering comes from agency inventories where it served as a duty sidearm or backup weapon. These revolvers typically feature a 4-inch barrel, full underlug, and a six-shot cylinder. The .357 Magnum chambering allows you to shoot both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition, providing versatility for training, home defense, or field carry. While cosmetic wear is present, the mechanical condition remains sound, making this an excellent entry point into revolver ownership or a hard-use tool for the budget-conscious shooter.
