Taurus Deputy 357 Magnum Revolver
The Taurus Deputy brings Old West aesthetics together with modern manufacturing standards. This is a revolver designed for those who appreciate classic lines without sacrificing contemporary safety features.
Key Features
- Caliber: 357 Magnum (also fires 38 Special and 38 Special +P)

Design and Functionality
The Deputy's single-action trigger and exposed hammer provide the responsive feel shooters expect from a traditional revolver. The hammer falls smoothly under thumb control, enabling fast, deliberate shooting. The nickel finish not only delivers authentic Old West aesthetics but also provides excellent protection against corrosion.
Safety
The transfer bar safety is a critical modern feature. It allows you to safely carry the revolver with a round in the chamber under the hammer—something not possible on older designs. This mechanism prevents accidental discharge if the gun is dropped or struck.
Versatility
As a 357 Magnum revolver, the Deputy accepts three cartridge types: full-power 357 Magnum loads, standard 38 Special, and the more powerful 38 Special +P. This flexibility lets you tailor your ammunition choice to your specific needs and preferences.
