The Taurus M605: Compact Power for Personal Defense
The Taurus M605 represents a time-tested approach to personal protection: a small-frame revolver that delivers genuine stopping power in a package you can actually carry all day.
Caliber and Capacity
Chamber your choice of ammunition with this versatile platform. The M605 accepts both .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P loads, giving you flexibility in your ammunition selection. Five rounds may seem modest, but in a defensive scenario, shot placement matters far more than round count. The .357 Magnum cartridge remains one of the most respected defensive rounds available.
Design and Construction
This revolver features a matte stainless steel frame, cylinder, and barrel—a finish that resists corrosion and requires minimal maintenance. The 2-inch barrel strikes a balance between velocity and concealability. At just 24 ounces unloaded, the M605 won't burden you during extended carry.
Turkish walnut grips provide both aesthetic appeal and practical ergonomics. The material offers a secure purchase without the bulk of larger grip panels, making this revolver genuinely concealable.
Mechanical Features
- Action Type: Double/single-action mechanism for versatility
- Sights: Fixed front and rear sights—simple, reliable, and fast to acquire
- Safety: Transfer bar safety prevents accidental discharge
- Rifling: Six grooves with 1:16.5 right-hand twist
Practical Dimensions
With an overall length of 6.5 inches and height of 4.4 inches, the M605 fits inside most inside-the-waistband holsters. The 1.4-inch width keeps it slim in your waistband.
Training and Versatility
Load .38 Special ammunition for reduced recoil during practice sessions. This allows you to develop proficiency without the sharper recoil of full-power .357 Magnum loads. When duty calls, transition to .357 Magnum for maximum effectiveness.
The Taurus M605 is a straightforward, dependable revolver built for those who understand that simplicity and reliability matter more than complexity.
