Rossi Model 13 22LR Police Trade-In Revolver

Overview

The Rossi Model 13 22LR Police Trade-In Revolver represents a unique opportunity for shooters seeking a reliable, budget-conscious rimfire wheelgun with law enforcement provenance. These revolvers were originally carried by police officers for training and backup duty, meaning they exhibit genuine holster wear and handling marks consistent with service use. Chambered in the economical .22 Long Rifle cartridge, this model offers exceptionally low recoil and low cost per round while retaining the solid, all-steel construction that Rossi is known for. Each unit is a true trade-in, not a cosmetic refurbishment, so every revolver tells its own story of professional carry. For the price-conscious buyer, this is a workhorse revolver that prioritizes function over finish.

Features & Specs

Built on Rossi’s medium-frame platform, the Rossi Model 13 22LR Police Trade-In Revolver features a six-shot cylinder and a fixed sight arrangement typical of service revolvers from this era. The barrel length measures approximately 4 inches, offering a balanced point of aim for both range practice and small-game hunting. The revolver utilizes a traditional double-action/single-action trigger system, allowing the shooter to choose between a heavier, consistent double-action pull or a lighter, crisp single-action pull for precision shots. The grips are constructed from checkered walnut or synthetic material depending on the specific trade-in batch, and the frame is finished in a blued or parkerized surface—though wear from holster carry is expected and noted.
