The Taurus Defender 605 Revolver is a compact, carry-ready member of Tauruss Defender series that balances power and controllability with a 3-inch matte black stainless steel barrel and a five-round cylinder chambered for .357 Magnum or .38 Special +P, giving shooters the option of hard-hitting stopping power or lower-recoil practice rounds. With a DA/SA hammer-fired action and an exposed hammer you get both quick double-action shots and precise single-action breaks for follow-up accuracy, while the transfer bar safety adds a passive layer of protection for everyday carry and range handling. The fixed rear sight and a night front sight with an orange outline aid rapid sight acquisition in low light, and the extended ejector rod makes loading and unloading faster on the line or at the range. The small-frame matte black stainless steel construction keeps overall length to 7.50 inches and weight to about 23.5 ounces, and Hogue rubber grips with finger grooves tame recoil for confident shot placement in defensive, duty, or field-use scenarios. This Taurus revolver is made in the United States and is an FFL-required handgun suited for concealed carry, home defense, and range training.
