The Taurus 605 Poly Protector Revolver brings the trusted Taurus Poly Protector series into a compact, carry-ready 2" barrel package that balances firepower and everyday practicality for concealed carry and close-range defense, chambered for both 357 Magnum and 38 Special +P ammunition with a five-round cylinder. Its small alloy frame and 20 oz. weight make it easy to carry while the exposed hammer and DA/SA action give you the flexibility of quick double-action shots or precise single-action follow-ups; the hammer-fired transfer bar safety and integrated TSS (Taurus Security System) add mechanical safeguards without getting in the way of operation. A fiber optic front sight paired with a fixed rear sight helps acquisition in low light, and the ridged black rubber grip tames recoil from hot loads so 357 Mag defensive rounds are manageable in a compact revolver. The stainless steel barrel and matte black oxide cylinder resist wear, and the black polymer frame keeps weight down for daily carry or as a dependable truck or home defense backup. For shooters seeking a rugged, straightforward revolver from Taurus made in Brazil, the 605 Poly Protector offers reliable performance, simple maintenance, and familiar revolver ergonomics for range use, duty, or concealed carry (FFL required).
