The Taurus Deputy in .357 Magnum brings a dependable single-action revolver platform with a 5.5" polished black barrel and cylinder, a deep satin black finish and a steel frame that feels substantial at 38.20 oz OAL 11.04", yet balances naturally on the shooting hand thanks to black polymer grips; as a medium-frame SAO (single-action only) revolver with a 6-round capacity and transfer bar safety, the Deputys single-action hammer falls easily under the thumb for fast, accurate follow-up shots while allowing safe carry with a round under the hammer unlike clone designs. Whether youre headed to the range for heavy recoil practice, stalking big game where the .357 Magnums flat trajectory and terminal performance matter, or equipping an off-duty carry option for rural protection, the Deputys 5.50" tube aids velocity and sight radius for tighter groups and controlled recoil. Built in Brazil, this model in the Taurus lineup blends classic revolver ergonomics and modern safety features, and because it is a firearm an FFL transfer is required for purchase and transfer. If you want a straightforward, hard-hitting revolver for hunting, target work, or duty use, the Deputy is designed to deliver reliable, repeatable performance.
