Built on Taurus’s small stainless-steel frame, the 605 offers the proven strength needed to handle both .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P loads. The full-length under-lug adds forward weight to help manage muzzle rise, while the exposed hammer allows either DA or precise SA fire.
The matte stainless finish resists corrosion and glare, making it suitable for daily carry in varied environments. A transfer-bar system permits safe carry with all chambers loaded, and the Taurus Security System provides an extra layer of owner-controlled lockout when desired.
Fixed iron sights—serrated ramp front and a top-strap groove rear—deliver a snag-free profile that clears the holster quickly. At just 24 oz unloaded and 6.5 in long, this revolver stays compact without sacrificing shootability.
SKU 2-605029 remains a current production item with an MSRP of $431.99 and carries California certification, expanding its appeal to buyers in more restrictive markets.
