Built on a steel small frame, the Model 605 handles the recoil of full-power .357 Magnum loads yet remains compact for concealed carry. The revolver is also rated for continuous use with .38 Special +P ammunition, giving shooters flexible ammunition options.
The matte black oxide finish on the frame, cylinder, and receiver provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare. A stainless steel 2-inch barrel blends durability with ease of maintenance, while the exposed hammer supports both double-action and single-action fire.
Fixed sights consist of a serrated integral front ramp and a square-notch rear groove machined into the topstrap—simple, rugged, and always on the revolver. The black rubber grip absorbs recoil and maintains a secure hold, even with magnum loads.
Safety features include a transfer-bar mechanism that blocks the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed, plus the Taurus Security System integral key lock that can disable the action for storage. This SKU 2-605021 is California-certified for sale, adding compliance value for West Coast buyers.
