Taurus M605 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The Taurus Model 605 is a double-action/single-action, five-shot, snubnosed revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. It is produced in both blued and stainless steel. Some models feature an exposed hammer, that can be manually cocked in single action, while others are Double action only with bobbed hammer. Like many Taurus revolvers, it features an integral keylock. It was first introduced in 1995. The primary use of this revolver is self-defense, based on its compact small-frame design. The 605 is built to the Taurus Zero Tolerance standard of quality including the Taurus lifetime warranty. The grip is rubber with a knubby pattern. In 1997 Taurus added the integral keylock that is engaged using a special key. The firing mechanism incorporates a transfer bar that assures the firing pin is not struck unless the trigger is pulled.

Gun provided excellent "out of the box" expectations, although no "User Manual or Warranty Return Card" was found in the shipping box. Not impressed with Taurus quality control on paperwork but otherwise item is just fine

I don't know what photo that the other Reviewer was looking at, but the one that I see IS the Taurus 605. As for function, reliability, and comfort (though ANY snubbie 357 Magnum is NOT for the recoil shy), I would note that I have FOUR of the Taurus Mode

The revolver for one is not that bad. The only real big complaint is that the photo they show is the public defender. This is very misleading. I was hoping for a revolver just like the photo.

Great pocket carry 357, shot 100 rounds of 38 special and 50 rounds of 357 Magnum only had problems with the 357 Magnum loads although I think it was the brand it was tulammo so it is ammo sensitive I did shoot carry loads like hornady xtp 125gr 357 Magnu

Took it to the range and shot 30 38 special through it. Kind of hard trigger pull on double action. Great crisp pull after cocking the hammer. Recoil not bad at all for such a light weight pistol. It shot very well. The only problem was that the cylinder

This was my first-ever revolver purchase, having been raised on military auto/semi firearms. Taurus did not disappoint. Out of the box, it is accurate (4-inch group at 30ft x 50-rounds) with ball and personal defense ammo (.357 MAG only - no 38 used). Loa

Great gun. Comes with full size grip as well as a concealable compact grip. Why spend more for a "better" name. My Kimber is guaranteed for 1 year, my Taurus for life. Not a bad deal. When you pull the trigger, bullets come out the barrel every time.

Stiff cylinder release

Unknown 6 years ago

James, this will wear in after approximately 100 or so rounds. Normally, only a few are extra stiff on the release initially but wear in quickly.
