What’s Included
- Taurus Model 605 revolver
The Model 605 uses a stainless steel barrel, frame, and cylinder finished in polished stainless, giving the revolver a cohesive, durable build. The small-frame layout houses a five-shot cylinder, maintaining compact dimensions while chambered for .357 Magnum.
The 2-inch barrel incorporates a full-length underlug that protects the shrouded ejector rod. This configuration contributes to the revolver’s balanced front end and shields the ejector mechanism during use and carry.
The action is double-action/single-action with an exposed hammer and a checkered spur for confident thumb-cocking. A transfer bar safety is employed. Sighting is straightforward and robust, with a serrated ramp front sight and a rear notch cut into the topstrap.
Controls and handling are complemented by black rubber grips with finger grooves and Taurus medallions. The revolver is chambered in .357 Magnum and is also compatible with .38 Special and .38 Special +P, providing flexibility in ammunition selection.
Markings include TAURUS INT. MFG. MIAMI, FL – USA and MADE IN BRAZIL, confirming importer and country of origin. The polished stainless finish and fixed-sight configuration are consistent with the snubnose defensive profile of this model.
