The Taurus 608 is a large-frame double-action revolver chambered in .357 Mag with an eight-round cylinder. This 4-inch stainless/silver model has a ported barrel, a 9.5-inch overall length and weighs 40.8 ounces. The hammer-forged frame and barrel are paired with a hand-fitted action, an exposed hammer, and black rubber grips with 3-dot sights.

For a Georgia buyer the 608 suits range shooting, target work and hunting, where the longer barrel and heavier frame are part of the appeal. The eight rounds in the cylinder give a deep magazine for a revolver of this type. The ported barrel is designed to help manage muzzle rise, so this is a configuration aimed at controlled, repeated shots. Its double-action operation supports both deliberate single-action fire and convenient double-action shooting.
