The Taurus 608 Competition Revolver 357 Mag is Taurus first purpose-built competition revolver in the 608 series, built to give new and veteran revolver shooters a ready-to-run race gun with features derived from high-level competition input; its 6-inch matte stainless bull barrel, 8-round cylinder cut for moonclips and chamfered charge holes make follow-up shots fast and reliable with .357 Magnum or .38 Special +P, while the green fiber optic front and drift-adjustable removable rear sight provide a bright sight picture and the option to fit an aftermarket optic for optics-class stages. Youll feel the VZ target grips and exposed hammer during transitions, and the DA/SA action with a tool-free adjustable trigger lets you tune pull weight and reset without a gunsmith, backed by Taurus transfer bar safety and robust stainless construction from Brazil for consistent handling at the line; at roughly 51 ounces unloaded and an overall length near 11.5 inches this medium-frame revolver balances recoil control and maneuverability for USPSA, IDPA, or steel challenge use, range practice, and serious competition shooting.
