Overview

This Rossi 461 357 Magnum used police trade-in revolver is a five-shot, stainless steel revolver with a 2-inch barrel. Originally produced for law enforcement agencies, these revolvers were built to withstand daily carry and frequent qualification shooting.

Who It’s For

The Rossi 461 357 Magnum used police trade-in revolver is suited for budget-conscious buyers who want a functional defensive revolver without paying premium prices. This revolver is appropriate for:
