The Model 605 pairs a matte stainless frame, barrel, and cylinder for a uniform, corrosion-resistant build. The 5-shot cylinder is fluted and finished to match, and the Taurus bull logo appears on both the frame and the grips.
It runs a double-action/single-action system with an exposed hammer, offering two trigger modes. A checkered, push-forward cylinder latch promotes positive operation, while the knurled ejector-rod tip and a standard, non-recessed extractor star support consistent extraction.
Fixed sights include an integral front ramp with an orange insert for quick reference and a rear notch cut into the topstrap. This simple, durable sight picture is well suited to the revolver’s compact 2-inch format.
Chambered in .357 Magnum, the cylinder also accepts .38 Special +P, providing ammunition flexibility. Capacity is 5 rounds.
Markings include Taurus Int’l Mfg Miami, FL – USA and Made in Brazil Taurus Armas, with country of origin listed as Brazil.
