What’s Included
- Taurus 605 Protector Poly revolver
This 605 Protector Poly carries a 2-inch stainless barrel nested inside a polymer shroud, keeping weight down without sacrificing durability. The matte black polymer over a steel sub-frame resists corrosion and provides a solid firing platform.
The five-shot cylinder is cut from alloy steel and finished in black oxide, matching the frame for a uniform, low-glare appearance. Teardrop flutes further trim weight while adding distinctive visual appeal.
Chambered for .357 Magnum, the revolver also accepts .38 Special, including +P loads, offering flexible ammunition options for range or defensive use.
The external hammer supports traditional single-action precision or double-action speed. A transfer-bar safety system and the Taurus keyed lock provide two independent safety mechanisms.
High-visibility sights consist of an orange fiber-optic front and a fixed rear trough—quick to acquire in varied lighting while keeping the profile snag-free.
