Who It Is For
This Rossi 462 stainless .357 Magnum used police trade-in revolver is designed for three types of buyers. First, the budget-conscious shooter who wants a .357 Magnum without paying new-retail prices. Second, the home defender who prefers the simplicity of a revolver over a semi-automatic pistol. Third, the collector or shooter who appreciates law enforcement trade-in firearms with honest wear and proven reliability. If you intend to use this revolver for range practice, truck gun duty, or bedside defense, the .357 Magnum chambering gives you the option to shoot lighter .38 Special loads for training or full-power magnums for protection. The 3-inch barrel balances concealability with sight radius for accurate shooting.
- Practical for home defense, truck gun, or range shooting
- Lower cost than new Rossi 462 models, with the same mechanical quality
- Dual-caliber capability saves money on practice ammunition
Police trade-in revolvers like this one are often carried more than they are shot, meaning the barrel and action may have less wear than the exterior finish suggests. This is a working firearm for those who value performance over appearance.
