The RP62 is the snub-nose member of Rossi's reborn .357 Magnum revolver family, sitting alongside the 3-inch RP63 and the longer-barreled RM64 and RM66. It's a six-shot, medium-frame double-action/single-action wheelgun built entirely from stainless steel with a satin finish, and it carries a 2-inch full underlug barrel that puts a little extra weight out front to help settle those stout magnum loads. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it also runs .38 Special, which makes it a flexible pick whether you're loading full-house defense rounds or stacking up cheaper practice ammo at the range.
The big story here is the adjustable rear sight, which is what the "AS" in the name points to. Unlike the carry-focused models that rely on a fixed gutter groove, the RP62 gives you a fully adjustable white-outline rear with windage and elevation screws, paired with a pinned, replaceable front blade. That means you can zero it for whatever load you shoot most, and down the road you can swap the front sight for a fiber-optic or night-sight blade if you want. The sighting plane along the top of the barrel is serrated to cut glare.
Rossi wrapped this one in two-piece, finger-grooved rubber grips that cover the whole grip frame and soak up a good chunk of felt recoil. The action runs on a coil mainspring with a hammer-mounted, replaceable firing pin, and lockup happens at both the rear of the fluted cylinder and the yoke. There's no manual safety to fuss with; instead a hammer-block safety stays in place until the trigger is pulled all the way through. Folks who've spent time with these new Rossi .357s tend to praise the single-action break and the solid cylinder lockup, and they appreciate how well a six-shot medium frame handles magnum recoil compared to a tiny five-shot J-frame.
The cylinder swings out via a push-forward release on the left side, and the whole package is compact enough for serious everyday carry while still being pleasant to shoot. It's a straightforward, well-built revolver that gives you adjustable-sight versatility in a short-barrel format, which is a combination you don't see on every snub nose.
Yes. The RP62 is chambered in .357 Magnum, and like all .357s it will also safely fire .38 Special. That gives you an easy way to practice with softer-shooting, lower-cost rounds and then load full-power magnums when it counts.
The main differences are barrel length and sights. The RP62 has a 2-inch barrel with a fully adjustable rear sight, while the RP63 runs a 3-inch barrel with a fixed sight. If you want to fine-tune your point of impact for different loads, the adjustable sights on the RP62 are the draw.
No, there's no external manual safety. It uses a hammer-block safety that only moves out of the way when the trigger is pulled fully to the rear, which is standard for this style of double-action revolver. The firing pin is also hammer-mounted and replaceable.
The short 2-inch barrel and compact medium frame make it manageable to carry, and the full underlug adds a bit of front weight that helps steady magnum recoil. The adjustable sights are a nice bonus you don't usually get on a snub nose, giving you more flexibility than a typical fixed-sight carry revolver.
