Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver

This listing is for a genuine police trade-in example of the Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver. These revolvers have been carried extensively but fired sparingly, offering a robust entry point into a proven law enforcement platform. The Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver represents a straightforward, no-frills wheelgun built on a solid steel frame, chambered for the versatile .357 Magnum cartridge. Each piece shows honest holster wear and handling marks consistent with service use, but mechanical function has been verified. For the shooter seeking a heavy-duty revolver without the premium of a new production gun, this trade-in offers substantial value.

Overview

The Rossi M713 is a seven-shot, double-action revolver designed for the .357 Magnum cartridge, though it also accepts .38 Special for reduced recoil training and practice. As a police trade-in, this specific batch of the Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver comes from a department that standardized on this model for uniformed carry. The revolver features a 4-inch barrel, fixed sights, and a matte blue finish that shows the character of prior service. Rossi manufactured these revolvers in Brazil under license, and the M713 specifically was built to handle the high-pressure demands of continuous .357 Magnum use. The action is smooth and serviceable, with a transfer bar safety system that prevents discharge if the hammer is struck without the trigger fully depressed. This is a working firearm, not a safe queen.

Who It Is For

This Rossi M713 357 Mag Police Trade-In Revolver is suited for Ohio residents who want a reliable service revolver without the price of a new S&W or Ruger. It is ideal for the shooter who prioritizes mechanical simplicity and the proven stopping power of .357 Magnum. This revolver works well as a truck gun, a ranch sidearm, or a home defense firearm stored in a quick-access safe. It is also a strong choice for the new revolver shooter who wants to learn on a full-size steel frame rather than a lightweight carry gun. The holster wear and finish loss are cosmetic only; the critical lockwork and barrel are serviceable. If you are a collector looking for mint condition, this is not that gun. If you need a functional, affordable .357 Magnum revolver that has already proven itself in duty use, this trade-in fits the requirement. The seven-shot capacity is a distinct advantage over the standard six-round configuration found on many comparable revolvers.
