Up for auction is a highly desirable and increasingly rare Rossi Model R462 snub-nosed revolver chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum / .38 Special.
Unlike most compact snubby revolvers on the market that only hold 5 rounds, this heavy-duty Rossi engineering marvel features a 6-shot cylinder while maintaining a perfectly concealable profile.
This particular specimen sports a beautiful, rugged Stainless Steel (SS) finish and a 2-inch barrel with a full underlug, which provides excellent balance and helps manage the recoil of full-power magnum loads. It comes equipped with the original factory contoured rubber grips that offer an incredibly secure and comfortable hold.
Why this is a must-have for collectors and shooters alike:
Hard to Find: The R462 stainless models are becoming exceptionally rare on the secondary market. Buyers routinely hoard these due to their reputation as reliable, tank-built carry guns.
Pre-Lock / Classic Design: This model features the clean, classic lines that enthusiasts look for, built during an era of solid Interarms/Rossi quality.
Versatility: Fires both punishing .357 Magnum defense loads and smooth .38 Special target ammunition.Condition Report:
Mechanical: [Excellent / Perfect]. Lockup is tight, the timing is spot-on, and the trigger pull is remarkably smooth in both double and single action. Bore and cylinder chambers are bright with sharp rifling.
Cosmetic: [Excellent / Very Good]. The stainless steel finish looks fantastic with only minor, normal signs of handling [mention any small scratch or turn-line if applicable]. Please see the high-resolution photos for the exact condition.
