Taurus 605 Stainless Steel
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, while others a 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. The grip is rubber with a knubby pattern. The safety feature is integral and is engaged using a special key. The firing mechanism incorporates a transfer bar that assures the firing pin is not struck unless the hammer is fully cocked.
