Overview

The Rossi Model 57 is a full-size, steel-frame revolver built during a period when Rossi produced firearms under the same quality standards that made them a trusted name in South American and U.S. police departments. This specific offering is a police trade-in, meaning these revolvers were carried and used by officers, then returned to surplus. Expect honest holster wear, bluing loss at contact points, and minor handling marks. Mechanically, each Rossi Model 57 357 Magnum Police Trade-In Revolver is verified to be safe and functional. You are getting a working firearm with proven police pedigree, not a museum piece.
