Rossi M518 22 LR Police Trade-In Revolver

The rossi m518 22 lr police trade-in revolver offers a practical and reliable option for shooters seeking a budget-friendly .22 LR revolver with proven service history. These revolvers were previously carried by law enforcement officers and have been inspected, cleaned, and graded for resale. Each unit shows typical holster wear and handling marks consistent with police service use, but the mechanical function and bore condition have been verified. This is a solid choice for range training, plinking, or as a general-purpose .22 LR firearm.

Overview

This rossi m518 22 lr police trade-in revolver features a 6-shot cylinder, a 4-inch barrel, and a traditional double-action/single-action trigger system. The firearm is chambered in .22 Long Rifle and operates on a solid steel frame. The trade-in designation means these revolvers were formerly issued to police departments and are now available to the civilian market at a reduced price point. Finish wear, bluing loss, and minor surface scuffs are common, but the revolvers function as intended. All examples include factory-style grips and standard sights.
