The Taurus 605 is an affordable, snub-nose revolver that shoots powerful 357 Magnum ammo, with a cylinder capacity of 5 rounds. It’s a popular choice for people who are looking for a concealed carry weapon. The grip has aggressive checkering to ensure a firm grasp while shooting powerful Magnum loads. The front sight is a serrated ramp, and the rear sight is a simple notch with a cut, typical for this type of revolver. The trigger is heavy and long, as expected for a double-action revolver, but runs very smoothly. Thanks to the spurred hammer, the gun can be used in single action too. The factory two-finger rubber grips absorb recoil pretty well, although it’s still quite noticeable. The integral safety lock prevents any accidental firing. Although the 605 is easy to carry, it’s not exactly a lightweight firearm good for pocket carry, it’s more intended for carrying in a holster. This reliable, accurate revolver is designed to serve well as a defense weapon for many years.
