This Public Defender variant retains the Judge’s proven 5-shot cylinder yet trims overall length to only 7.75 inches, making it easier to store or carry. The alloy-steel frame, barrel, and cylinder are finished in a durable matte black oxide that resists glare and corrosion.
The 2-inch barrel features a full under-lug and vent slot for added stability, while the 1:14 RH twist supports both slug and shotshell loads. A red/orange fiber-optic front sight teams with a fixed rear notch for quick sight acquisition, even in low light.
Taurus equips this revolver with a smooth combat trigger shoe and an external hammer that supports double-action or single-action fire. Internal safety is addressed through a transfer-bar mechanism and the integral Taurus Security System, which locks the hammer with the supplied key.
The Ribber black rubber grip is designed to mitigate recoil from both .45 Colt and .410 shotshells, helping shooters maintain control shot after shot. Proof marks on the frame confirm manufacture in Brazil and import by Taurus International, Miami, FL.
