Overview

The Rossi 462 Stainless 357 Magnum Used Police Trade-In Revolver is a six-shot, double-action/single-action revolver built on a medium frame. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for humid environments or concealed carry. The 2-inch barrel offers a compact profile for easy concealment while still delivering effective velocity from .357 Magnum loads. These trade-in revolvers come from various police departments and may feature duty holster wear, minor surface scratches, or holster burn on the cylinder and barrel. Mechanical condition is rated as good to very good, with tight lockup and proper timing. Cylinder gap is within factory specifications. These revolvers have been cycled through duty rotations but retain significant service life.

Features & Specs

The Rossi 462 utilizes a solid frame design with a swing-out cylinder for quick reloading. The stainless steel finish is matte, reducing glare in tactical situations. The factory rubber grips provide recoil absorption and positive purchase, even with wet hands. The revolver features a fixed front sight with a serrated ramp and a fixed rear notch sight channeled into the top strap. The double-action trigger pull is smooth and consistent, typical of police trade-in revolvers that have been cycled extensively. The single-action trigger breaks cleanly at a measured weight. The cylinder release is a push-button style located on the left side of the frame. The revolver weighs approximately 28 ounces unloaded, making it manageable for all-day carry. Cylinder capacity is six rounds.
