Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver

The Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver is a solid, no-frills workhorse that served its time in law enforcement holsters. If you are looking for a reliable .357 Magnum revolver that shows honest wear but still locks up tight and shoots straight, this trade-in is worth a close look. Rossi built these revolvers to handle daily carry and range use, and the police trade-in models often come with a well-broken-in action that feels smoother than a brand-new gun straight from the box.

Overview

This Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver is a stainless steel, six-shot revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. It features a 3-inch barrel, fixed sights, and a full underlug that adds front-end weight for reduced muzzle flip. The trade-in condition means you get a proven firearm with character—holster wear, minor scuffs, and sometimes a few handling marks—but the mechanical function is solid. These revolvers were carried more than they were fired, so the internals are typically in good shape. You are getting a practical .357 that can also shoot .38 Special for cheaper practice.
