The steel frame and cylinder wear a uniform matte black finish for reduced glare. The barrel includes an integral ejector-rod shroud and a vented slot, and the top strap houses a fixed rear notch that pairs with a serrated, ramped front sight for a clean, durable sight picture.
Operation is double-action/single-action with an exposed hammer. Safety features include a transfer bar and the Taurus Security System (keyed integral lock), providing secure storage capability when engaged.
Taurus-branded textured black rubber boot grips help control recoil in a compact format. Markings include "Taurus Int’l Mfg Miami, FL – USA" and "Made in Brazil," consistent with the factory’s production and import stamp practices.
This revolver is chambered in .357 Magnum and is also compatible with .38 Special and .38 Special +P ammunition. Reference dimensions are approximately 24 oz in weight and about 6.5 in overall length.
