Introducing the Taurus Model 605 Protector Polymer, the perfect blend of power, durability, and versatility. This snub-nose revolver is produced by the renowned firearms manufacturer, Taurus International, based in Brazil. With its origin dating back to the mid-1990s, the Taurus 605 model has established a reputation for reliability and potency. However, this particular sub-model, the Protector Polymer, adds a new dimension of convenience with its significant weight reduction, offering a superior option for concealed carry and personal protection.
In very good overall condition, this firearm showcases only light, superficial signs of prior handling. There are minor scuffs and scratches on the cylinder, which does not compromise its functionality. The cylinder, though a bit stiff to unlock, houses a good bore condition with intact, well-defined lands and grooves, and only minor wear marks. Its mild fouling suggests a light buildup of dirt, indicative of its well-maintained status.
The gun operates on a DA/SA (double-action/single-action) principle, providing a choice between a quicker, heavier trigger pull or a slower, lighter one. It's chambered for .357 Magnum and .38 Special rounds, offering flexibility in ammunition choice for the shooter. The revolver has a 5-round capacity and a 2" barrel length, making it compact yet robust.
The Taurus Model 605 Protector Polymer is finished in a sleek black, adding a modern touch to its design. It also features rubberized grips with Taurus medallions for a comfortable and secure hold. The fixed orange fiber optic front and integrated rear sight aid in accurate targeting. The sale includes a leather OWB holster and 2 speed loaders, enhancing the value of the package.
With its vent rib barrel features, this revolver is not only a beautiful piece of craftsmanship but also a practical tool for personal defense. Its origin in Brazil further adds to its unique appeal. The Taurus Model 605 Protector Polymer, with its blend of power, versatility, and convenience, is an excellent choice for both firearm enthusiasts and those seeking a reliable tool for personal protection.
