What's Included
- Taurus 605 Protector Poly .357 Mag revolver
This Protector Poly variant uses a polymer exterior shroud over a forged 410 stainless-steel internal sub-frame, combining a durable core with a lightweight outer shell. A steel barrel liner and muzzle ring support the 2-inch barrel, and the ejector rod is shrouded for protection.
Chambered in .357 Magnum with a five-shot fluted steel cylinder, the revolver operates in double-action/single-action with an exposed, checkered spurred hammer. A left-side push-forward cylinder latch provides straightforward operation.
Sighting is simple and direct with a fixed rear notch integral to the topstrap and a bright orange fiber-optic front post that stands out against varied backgrounds. The rubber Ribber-style grip offers a secure, hand-filling hold.
Marked "Protector Poly" on the top of the barrel shroud forward of the frame, it carries factory roll marks including "Taurus Arms Made in Brazil" and "TAURUS INT. MFG. MIAMI, FL – USA PAT. PEND." The revolver wears a matte black finish on its polymer frame, with stainless and steel components visible where applicable. Taurus bull logos appear on the frame and grip.
