Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver

The Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver represents a proven law enforcement sidearm now available to the civilian market. These revolvers were previously issued to police officers and have been inspected, cleaned, and function-tested prior to listing. Each Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver carries the service wear consistent with duty use, including holster wear, handling marks, and minor finish loss, while the mechanical internals remain in reliable working order. This is a six-shot, double-action/single-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, offering the versatility to also fire .38 Special rounds. The 4-inch barrel provides a balanced combination of sight radius and concealability, making it a practical choice for home defense, range shooting, or as a backup duty gun.

Overview

The Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver is built on a medium steel frame with a fixed sight configuration, featuring a ramp front sight and a square-notch rear sight. The revolver uses a traditional side-swing cylinder release, and the cylinder is fluted for weight reduction. The rubberized grips offer a secure hold under recoil, and the trigger pull in single-action mode is crisp and predictable. These trade-in units are sourced from various law enforcement agencies and may show variations in serial number ranges, but all have passed a basic function check. The revolver is chambered for .357 Magnum, which delivers significant terminal performance, while the ability to fire .38 Special rounds allows for reduced-recoil practice and training.

Who It’s For

This revolver is suited for the budget-conscious shooter who values proven mechanical reliability over cosmetic perfection. It appeals to law enforcement retirees, security personnel, and civilian owners who prefer the simplicity of a revolver for home defense or truck gun use. The .357 Magnum chambering provides ample stopping power for personal protection, while the .38 Special compatibility makes it a practical training tool for new shooters learning to manage recoil. The four-inch barrel also makes it a viable option for concealed carry under a jacket or in a hip holster, though the weight and size are better suited for open carry or range use. Collectors of police trade-in firearms will appreciate the honest wear and service history carried by each Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver.
