Rossi RM64 .357 Magnum 4″ Stainless 6rd Revolver

The Rossi RM64 .357 Magnum 4″ Stainless 6rd Revolver is a no-nonsense medium-frame wheelgun built for urban carry and home defense where reliability and stopping power matter more than flash. Chambered in .357 Magnum with a 4-inch barrel and all-stainless construction, this 6-shot DA/SA revolver delivers the punch you need without the weight penalty of a full-size duty gun. According to Rossi specs, the RM64 balances manageable recoil with the ability to handle both .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P loads, making it a versatile choice for apartment dwellers who want one gun for the nightstand and the range.

Key Features

• 4-Inch Stainless Barrel — This length gives you full velocity from .357 Magnum loads while keeping the overall size compact enough for a nightstand or range bag. Why it matters: you get the terminal performance of a magnum round without a 6-inch barrel hanging out of your holster.
• 6-Round Cylinder in .357 Magnum — Six shots of .357 or .38 Special +P give you the capacity to handle most urban threats. Why it matters: in a close-quarters scenario, those extra rounds over a 5-shot snubby can make the difference between a stop and a reload under stress.
• Double-Action / Single-Action Trigger — Smooth DA pull for the first shot, then crisp SA for follow-ups. Why it matters: you can stage the trigger for precision or hammer through a string without fumbling with a safety.
• Black Textured Rubber Grips — Soft rubber with finger grooves soaks up recoil from hot .357 loads. Why it matters: your grip stays locked in even with sweaty hands during a summer carry or a high-stress drill.
• Matte Stainless Finish — Resists rust and corrosion from sweat, humidity, or a CCW holster. Why it matters: no need to baby it after a rainy commute or a trip to the range in humid weather.

Who It’s For

This revolver is for the city shooter who wants a simple, reliable wheelgun that doesn’t require a manual safety, doesn’t jam, and doesn’t break the bank. If you live in an apartment and want a gun you can grab in the dark without worrying about a decocker or thumb safety, the RM64 is your answer. It’s also a solid choice for new revolver shooters who want to learn on something that can grow with them — from .38 Special target loads up to full-power .357 Magnum defensive ammo.

Pros / Cons

• Pro: Proven medium-frame design that handles .357 Magnum recoil better than lightweight alloy frames.
• Pro: Matte stainless finish means low maintenance — no bluing to wear off.
• Con: The factory trigger pull is a bit heavy out of the box (around 10-12 lbs DA), so you may want a spring kit or a gunsmith polish for competition-level smoothness.

The Rossi RM64 undercuts both the S&W 686 and Taurus 66 on price while offering the same caliber and barrel length. The 686 is smoother and lighter in trigger pull, but you pay almost double. The Taurus 66 is closer in price but has a reputation for inconsistent quality control — Rossi’s RM64 is a more consistent value for the urban shooter on a budget.

FAQ

What is the barrel length of the Rossi RM64?

The Rossi RM64 has a 4-inch barrel. That’s the sweet spot for balancing velocity with concealability in a medium-frame revolver.

Can the Rossi RM64 shoot .38 Special ammunition?

Yes. The RM64 is chambered for .357 Magnum, but it also accepts .38 Special and .38 Special +P rounds without any issues. That gives you cheaper training ammo and lower recoil options.

Is the Rossi RM64 good for concealed carry?

It’s more of a home defense or range revolver than a deep-conceal piece. At 34 oz and a 4-inch barrel, it works for open carry or a shoulder holster, but for IWB you’ll want a dedicated compact like a 2-inch barrel snubby.

What is the finish on the Rossi RM64?

It’s a matte stainless finish on the frame, cylinder, and barrel. No gloss, no bluing to wear off — just a tough, corrosion-resistant surface that holds up to daily handling.

Does the Rossi RM64 have a safety?

No manual safety. It uses a hammer block safety that prevents firing unless the trigger is pulled. That’s standard for modern DA/SA revolvers and keeps the operation simple under stress.
