The Model 669 is a double-action/single-action medium-frame revolver built on steel, finished in bright silver. This example is marked "TAURUS • BRASIL," "TAURUS INT. MFG. MIAMI FLA – USA," and "MADE IN BRAZIL," with the model stamp "669" visible in the yoke/crane cut.
Its 6-inch steel barrel incorporates a solid top rib, a full-length underlug, and muzzle porting. These features, combined with the medium-frame layout, define the 669’s handling characteristics and balance.
The sighting system consists of a serrated ramped front blade and a micrometer-style adjustable rear, giving the shooter precise control over elevation and windage. The revolver wears checkered hardwood grips with Taurus medallions on a round-butt frame profile.
A fluted six-shot cylinder complements the .357 Magnum chambering. The model line was discontinued by 1998, adding clear end-of-production context for collectors and restorers evaluating this as-is offering.
