What’s Included
- Rossi R462 2-inch stainless .357 Magnum revolver
The R462 combines a compact 2-inch barrel with a small-frame, six-shot cylinder, offering full .357 Magnum capability with the option to fire .38 Special ammunition. Its stainless steel barrel, frame, and cylinder provide uniform corrosion-resistant construction and a clean, consistent appearance.
Action is double-action/single-action with a smooth trigger face for controlled strokes and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur for confident single-action cocking. A partial underlug adds forward mass while keeping the profile compact.
Sight setup is straightforward and durable: an integral ramped, serrated front blade paired with a fixed rear notch. The round-butt black rubber finger-groove grips with Rossi medallions promote a secure, repeatable hold on the small frame.
Safety features include a rebounding hammer, internal hammer block, and the Taurus Security System (integral hammer lock). The yoke cut is stamped "462," confirming the model family. Markings reflect import by Braztech (Rossi USA) with manufacture in Brazil by Taurus.
This example aligns with the 462 series produced from 2005 to 2017, bringing together a stainless build, six-round capacity, and fixed-sight simplicity in a compact .357 Magnum package.
