Overview

The Rossi Model 57 is a six-shot, double-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, allowing you to also fire .38 Special rounds for lower-cost practice. Originally procured for police duty, these revolvers were built to a service standard and used in the field. This specific offering is a police trade-in, meaning it has been carried extensively but typically fired less than a personally owned firearm. While it shows holster wear, edge wear, and handling marks consistent with its service life, the mechanical function of each Rossi model 57 357 magnum police trade-in revolver is inspected to ensure safe, reliable operation. You receive a revolver with proven dependability at a fraction of the cost of a new equivalent.
