Rossi 462 Stainless 357 Magnum Used Police Trade-In Revolver

This Rossi 462 Stainless 357 Magnum Used Police Trade-In Revolver represents a practical, no-nonsense option for shooters seeking a reliable service-grade sidearm at a competitive price point. These revolvers were sourced directly from law enforcement agencies, where they served as duty weapons. While they show honest holster wear and handling marks consistent with professional use, each piece has been inspected for mechanical function and safety. The stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, and the .357 Magnum chambering provides versatility for both full-power defensive loads and milder .38 Special ammunition for practice. At an accessible price point, this is a solid entry into a proven platform.

Overview

The Rossi 462 is a six-shot, double-action revolver built on a medium frame. This specific batch consists of used police trade-ins, meaning these revolvers have been carried extensively but fired relatively little compared to their service life. The stainless steel finish, while showing cosmetic wear, remains functional and durable. The 4-inch barrel provides a good balance of sight radius for accuracy and concealability for carry. These revolvers include the original rubber grips, which offer a secure hold even in wet conditions. As a used police trade-in, the Rossi 462 Stainless 357 Magnum Used Police Trade-In Revolver offers a cost-effective way to own a duty-grade revolver without the premium of a new-in-box model.
