The Taurus 605 Defender in Stainless/Silver is a five-shot double-action revolver chambered for .357 Mag and .38 Special +P. It has a 3-inch stainless barrel, a 7.5-inch overall length and weighs 23.52 ounces. Night sights with an orange-outlined front sight help with aiming, and Hogue rubber grips sit on the frame. The trigger offers both double-action and single-action operation for flexible firing control.
In Georgia this revolver suits personal protection carried on the belt or in a bag, and home defense from a nightstand. The five-round cylinder and compact frame keep it manageable for shooters who want a revolver without a large frame. Both chamberings are listed, so the ammunition you buy decides the load you run. The night sights and orange-outlined front sight suit low-light aiming.
