Overview
The Rossi M713 is a six-shot, stainless steel revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. It accepts .38 Special as well, giving you flexibility at the range or on the nightstand. These police trade-ins show holster wear, handling marks, and sometimes a little honest patina on the stainless finish. The actions are typically smooth from years of use, and the barrels are clean from regular maintenance. Each Rossi M713 357 magnum police trade-in revolver has been inspected for function and safety. What you get is a solid, no-frills defensive revolver that does not need to be babied. The price reflects the condition, not the capability.
Features & Specs
This revolver is built on Rossi’s medium frame, making it comfortable to carry and shoot. The heavy barrel profile helps manage recoil, and the full underlug gives it a balanced feel in the hand. The cylinder swings out for quick loading with a moon clip or speedloader. Double-action trigger pull is smooth and predictable, and the single-action break is crisp. Here is what you can expect from a typical example:
- Stainless steel construction with a satin finish; holster wear and minor scuffs are normal for a police trade-in
- Six-round capacity in .357 Magnum or .38 Special +P; cylinder gap is within factory spec
- Adjustable rear sight with a serrated front ramp for quick target acquisition in low light
- Three-inch barrel length; overall length of 8.5 inches and unloaded weight of approximately 30 ounces
- Rubber combat grips that fill the hand and absorb recoil without slipping under rapid fire
These revolvers were carried by officers who trained regularly. The internals are typically in good order, with minimal endshake and a tight lockup. If you are looking for a Rossi M713 357 magnum police trade-in revolver, you are getting a firearm that has been through the paces and is ready to go again.
Who It’s For
