Overview

The Rossi Model 13 is a double-action revolver designed for the demanding environment of law enforcement. This particular run consists of police trade-ins, meaning these revolvers have been carried and used by officers, but remain mechanically sound. Chambered in .22 LR, this model offers minimal recoil and low ammunition cost, making it perfect for high-volume shooting. The Rossi Model 13 22LR Police Trade-In Revolver features a traditional swing-out cylinder, a fixed front sight, and a robust steel frame. These trade-ins typically show holster wear, bluing loss, and handling marks, but the internal lockwork and barrel remain serviceable. This is a straight-shooting, no-nonsense revolver for the practical shooter who values function over cosmetics.
