Overview

The rossi m971 .357 mag police trade-in revolver is a six-shot double-action revolver with a 4-inch barrel, making it a balanced choice for both concealed carry and open carry. Rossi designed this model with a full underlug barrel and a shrouded ejector rod, giving it a classic, rugged profile that law enforcement agencies trusted for decades. Each revolver shows the honest wear of service life, but our armorers have inspected and verified that timing, lockup, and cylinder gap are within factory specifications. This is a working gun with character, not a safe queen, and it is priced to move as a trade-in surplus item.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .357 Magnum (also accepts .38 Special +P and .38 Special) with a 6-round capacity
• Barrel Length: 4 inches with a full underlug and adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation
• Construction: Stainless steel frame and cylinder, matte finish that hides wear well, and a comfortable rubber grip
• Action: Double-action and single-action capability with a transfer bar safety system

This revolver weighs in at around 34 ounces unloaded, which soaks up recoil from hot .357 loads while keeping it manageable for follow-up shots. The cylinder release is a push-button style, and the front sight is a red ramp insert for quick acquisition in low light.

Who It’s For

This rossi m971 .357 mag police trade-in revolver is an ideal choice for budget-conscious shooters who want a reliable defensive revolver without the premium price tag of a new production gun. It suits anyone who appreciates the simplicity of a wheelgun for home defense, truck or camp use, or as a backup firearm. If you are a reloader, the .357 Magnum chamber allows you to shoot inexpensive .38 Special practice loads and step up to full-power magnums for serious work. It is also a great option for new revolver shooters who want to learn on a robust platform that has already proven itself in service. Because it is a trade-in, each revolver has a unique history, and you get a functional piece of law enforcement gear that is ready to serve again.
