If you’ve been searching for a quality .357 Magnum at an affordable price I have some advice for you. Get a Brazilian!
I recently had the opportunity to spend 2-days shooting Rossi’s RM64 at Gunsite. The all-steel, medium-framed .357 Magnum has a 4” barrel, adjustable sights and target style hammer and trigger. Made in Brazil the Rossi RM64 shares many of the Smith & Wesson K frame attributes.

Over the course of 300-rounds on Gunsite’s ranges, field courses and shoot houses, the RM64 performed flawlessly and turned in an aggregate group size of just 1.21” at 15-yards with 6 different .357 Magnum and .38 Special loads!
My test sample possessed a smooth trigger with little stacking in the double-action mode with a pull weight of just 9 pounds. While shooting groups I thumbed the wide spur hammer back to single-action mode, confirmed my sight picture, and added the 2 ¼ pounds of pressure needed to break the shot.
Rossi outfits the RM64 with finger-groove rubber grips that are comfortable-even with magnum loads. The carbon steel barrel, frame and cylinder are given an attractive satin-black finish.
You could spend a lot more than Rossi’s suggested retail of $606.99 on a .357 Magnum. But why would you? The RM64 has all of the accuracy and reliability you need!
