I got one in a trade years ago, the 971VRC. in S.S., .357mag. It has been a great 357. It has the 4"blr. The grips look the same as the ones in picture. I have owned 2 other Rossi rov.s. & liked them all, they were giving trigger work as I worked for a gunsmith. He showed me they were like S&W s on the inside. Good luck, have fun, Be safe!
