The 605 is a small-frame, 5-shot .357 Magnum revolver with a 2-inch barrel, built for compact dimensions and straightforward operation. Its DA/SA trigger and spurred hammer provide both double-action and single-action capability.
The revolver wears a uniform matte black finish on the frame, cylinder, and receiver. It uses a fluted cylinder and an under-barrel shroud with a knurled ejector-rod tip. A checkered push-forward cylinder release enhances traction during reloads.
Sighting is fixed and simple: a serrated ramp front sight pairs with an integral top-strap rear notch. The black textured synthetic one-piece grip provides a consistent hold and complements the compact profile.
Markings include Taurus Int'l Mfg, Bainbridge, GA; Taurus Armas; and Made in Brazil. The serial number is stamped on both the frame and barrel. Factory part number/SKU 2-605021 confirms the 2-inch .357 Magnum, matte black, 5-round variant.
