Overview

The Rossi 462 is a six-shot revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, capable of firing .38 Special +P ammunition for reduced recoil training.

These are not safe queens; they are working revolvers with visible holster wear, cylinder ring marks, and minor finish scuffs that attest to their provenance.
