What’s Included
- Taurus 605 Defender .357 Mag revolver
The Defender configuration pairs a small-frame, 5-shot layout with a 3-inch stainless barrel and full-length underlug. The added underlug and extended ejector rod support positive extraction and give the compact revolver a purposeful, balanced profile without adding unnecessary bulk.
Sights are set up with a pinned AmeriGlo tritium front blade that carries an orange ring and "H3" marking, matched to a fixed rear notch in the top strap. This arrangement offers a clear front sight reference in a durable, no-adjustment setup.
Construction is stainless steel for both frame and barrel with a matte bead-blast finish, contrasted by a matte-black fluted steel cylinder for a clean two-tone look. The exposed spurred hammer supports double-action/single-action operation, and the transfer-bar safety is built in.
Controls and fitment details include one-piece textured black/gray layered G10-style grips with the Taurus bull logo and importer markings for Taurus Int’l Mfg., Bainbridge, GA, alongside "Taurus Armas Made in Brazil." The crane/yoke assembly carries an "08" mark. MSRP is listed at $540.68.
