Who It’s For

If you’ve been carrying a polymer auto but miss the simplicity of a revolver, the RP63 is your ticket back.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Light enough for daily carry; full underlug tames .357 recoil; durable Cerakote finish; fits common holsters; six rounds of .357 in a compact package.

FAQ
Is the Rossi RP63 compatible with common holsters?
Yes. According to Rossi, the RP63 fits holsters designed for medium-frame revolvers like the Smith & Wesson K-frame. Many users report it works with leather and Kydex holsters for 4-inch K-frames, though the 3-inch barrel may leave the muzzle exposed in longer holsters.
Can I shoot .38 Special +P in this revolver?
Absolutely. The RP63 is rated for .38 Special +P and .357 Magnum. The stainless steel frame and full underlug handle the extra pressure of +P loads without issue. For practice, standard .38 Special is fine; for carry, +P or .357 gives you the best performance.
Does the RP63 come with a lock or safety?
No internal lock. The revolver relies on the heavy double-action trigger pull as its primary safety. The hammer-mounted firing pin is only exposed when the trigger is pulled, making it drop-safe per Rossi’s design.
What is the warranty on the Rossi RP63?
Rossi offers a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner. It covers defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your purchase receipt for warranty claims.
