What’s Included
- Taurus Model 605 Ported revolver
The factory 2.25-inch stainless barrel features four top-side muzzle ports that vent gases upward, helping reduce muzzle rise during rapid fire with .357 Magnum loads.
A five-round, clockwise-rotating fluted cylinder pairs with a robust stainless frame and an integral ejector-rod shroud, keeping the overall weight to a carry-friendly 24 ounces and the length to just 6.5 inches.
The revolver operates in both double-action and single-action modes and uses an exposed spur hammer for precise single-action shots. Fixed sights—a serrated ramp front and rear notch—provide a snag-free sight picture suited to defensive use.
Safety features include a transfer-bar system that prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, plus the Taurus Security System keyed hammer lock for optional storage security.
