Rossi M971 .357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver

The Rossi M971 .357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver represents a proven, no-nonsense service weapon from a respected Brazilian manufacturer. These revolvers have been carried by law enforcement personnel and are now available as surplus trade-ins, offering a rugged, reliable firearm at a practical price point. Built on a medium frame with a 4-inch barrel, the M971 chambers both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition, giving you versatility for target shooting, home defense, or field carry. Each revolver shows honest holster wear consistent with police service, but the mechanical condition remains solid, making this a smart choice for buyers who value function over showroom finish.

Overview

This Rossi M971 .357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver is a six-shot, double-action/single-action revolver designed for duty use. The 4-inch barrel provides a balance of accuracy and concealability, while the full underlug adds weight to manage recoil. The revolver features a transfer bar safety system and a side-swing cylinder for quick loading and unloading. As a trade-in, each unit carries the character of real-world use, with blued finish wear and minor scuffs that do not affect performance. This is a working gun, not a collector piece, and it is priced to reflect that honest history.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .357 Magnum / .38 Special +P. The 4-inch barrel provides a sight radius that aids accuracy, while the adjustable rear sight allows windage and elevation adjustments for different loads.
• Capacity: 6-round cylinder with a side-swing design for fast reloads. The cylinder release is positioned for efficient operation with either hand.
• Construction: All-steel frame and barrel with a blued finish. The revolver weighs approximately 35 ounces unloaded, providing stability during recoil without being overly heavy for belt carry.

Additional spec highlights include a double-action trigger pull that is smooth and consistent for rapid fire, and a crisp single-action pull for precision shooting. The rubber grip reduces felt recoil and provides a secure hold in wet or gloved conditions. The Rossi M971 .357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver includes the original factory grips, though condition may vary by individual unit.

Who It’s For
