Features & Specs

Every Rossi M971 .357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver reflects the same build standard that served departments for years. The revolver features a six-round cylinder, a 4-inch barrel for balanced handling, and a full underlug for added weight and reduced muzzle rise. The finish is matte blue or stainless depending on batch, with the expected honest wear from holster carry and range use.

• Caliber: .357 Magnum / .38 Special +P, 6-round capacity
• Barrel length: 4 inches, full underlug, ramp front sight with adjustable rear
• Action: Single-action and double-action, transfer bar safety system
• Frame: Medium-size steel frame, checkered walnut or soft rubber grips (may vary by trade-in)

All trade-in revolvers are inspected for timing, lockup, and cylinder gap. Cylinders are checked for endshake and barrel-cylinder alignment. While cosmetic condition varies, the mechanical integrity is verified before listing. This is a working firearm, not a safe queen.

• Function-checked: timing, lockup, trigger pull, and ejector rod operation
• Standard police trade-in wear: holster rub, bluing loss at muzzle and cylinder edges
• No box, papers, or factory accessories included unless noted
