There is something refreshingly practical about a revolver that runs on 9mm. The Taurus 905 gives you wheelgun simplicity without asking you to stock a second caliber, and that matters more than people think. 9mm is cheaper to practice with, easier to find on the shelf, and modern defensive loads are built to perform out of short barrels just like this one. If you already own a 9mm pistol, this little five-shot fits right into your setup without changing a thing about your ammo supply.
Since 9mm cases have no rim for the extractor star to grab, the 905 uses Taurus Stellar clips. Snap five rounds into a clip, drop the whole thing in the cylinder, and you are loaded. When it is time to reload, everything ejects together in one piece, which is faster and tidier than picking out individual cases. Taurus includes the clips in the box, and spares are inexpensive, so keeping a few loaded ones ready to go is an easy habit to build.
This version wears a matte black oxide finish over an all-steel build, with a 2-inch barrel, full underlug protecting the ejector rod, and soft rubber grips that take the sting out of 9mm recoil. At 6.5 inches overall and right around 22 ounces, it carries comfortably in a holster or rides well in a nightstand drawer. The DA/SA action lets you run it double action for defensive work or thumb the hammer back for a lighter, more precise single-action press. Fixed front and rear sights mean there is nothing to knock loose, and the transfer bar safety keeps the firing pin blocked until the trigger is pulled fully to the rear.
The snubnose revolver has stuck around for good reason. It is simple to run, forgiving of neglect, and it fires reliably from awkward positions where a semi-auto slide might get fouled. The 905 takes that proven formula and pairs it with the most common centerfire cartridge on the planet. For a carry piece, a backup, or a trainer that will not drain your ammo budget, it is a smart, uncomplicated choice.
For practical use, yes. 9mm is a rimless cartridge, so the ejector star has nothing to grab without a clip. The included Stellar clips hold all five rounds together, which lets you load and eject the whole cylinder at once. Extras are cheap, so most owners pick up a handful and keep them loaded.
The biggest difference is the ammo. The 905 runs 9mm, which is generally cheaper, easier to find, and benefits from a huge selection of modern defensive loads tuned for short barrels. The 856 gives you one extra round of .38 Special and skips the moon clips. If you already shoot a 9mm pistol, the 905 keeps everything on one cartridge.
That is exactly what it was built for. The 2-inch barrel, small frame, and 6.5-inch overall length make it easy to conceal in a belt holster or carry bag. The steel construction adds a bit of weight compared to alloy revolvers, but that extra heft helps tame 9mm recoil and makes practice sessions more pleasant.
Yes, it has an exposed hammer and a DA/SA trigger. Pulling the trigger in double action cocks and drops the hammer in one stroke, which is the way most people run it for defense. Cocking the hammer first gives you a much lighter single-action pull for slower, more deliberate shots at the range.
