Overview

The Rossi M971 is a six-shot revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, but it also accepts .38 Special for lighter recoil at the range. These specific pistols come from police inventories, so they have been carried often but shot sparingly. The steel frame and 4-inch barrel keep the balance point forward, helping tame magnum loads while staying compact enough for field use. This is a straightforward, double-action revolver with a transfer bar safety and a solid lockup. If you want a firearm that works every time you pull the trigger, the rossi m971 .357 mag police trade-in revolver is a smart choice.

Features & Specs

• Chambered in .357 Magnum / .38 Special +P — shoot both calibers with no adjustment needed
• Six-round fluted cylinder with a swing-out design for fast reloads using full or half-moon clips
• 4-inch tapered barrel with a vented rib and ramp front sight for quick target acquisition

These are police trade-in revolvers, so expect honest wear on the blued finish, holster scuffs on the barrel and cylinder, and possibly some minor handling marks. Mechanically, each unit is function-checked before listing. The action is typically smooth from years of use, not abuse. The bore and chambers are clean, and the timing is correct. You are getting a duty-grade revolver that was maintained by an armorer during its service life. If you prefer a shooter with character over a safe queen, this fits the bill.
