There's a reason the snub-nose .357 has stuck around for generations, and the Taurus 605 Protector Polymer is one of the most approachable ways to own one. This version of the 605 swaps the traditional all-steel frame for a polymer frame with steel reinforcement, trimming the package down to about 24 ounces without giving up the strength to handle full-power magnum loads. Add a 2 inch barrel and a 6.5 inch overall length, and you've got a revolver that disappears in a waistband holster or rides comfortably in a pack while hiking or working around the property.
The 5-shot cylinder keeps the width slim, and the double action/single action setup gives you options: run it straight double action for defensive work, or cock the hammer for a lighter, crisper single action pull when you have time to aim. Up front, a bright fiber optic sight grabs your eye a whole lot faster than a plain black blade, which matters on a short sight radius gun like this. The rubber grip soaks up recoil better than you'd expect, and if magnums feel like too much for a range session, drop in .38 Special +P and enjoy a much softer-shooting gun. A transfer bar safety means the hammer can't reach the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled all the way through.
Most snub-nose revolvers come in black or stainless and call it a day. The 605 Protector Polymer breaks that mold with a two-tone black and coyote brown finish that stands out without being loud. Taurus builds the 605 line to its Zero Tolerance standard for fit and function, and this model carries a well-earned reputation as a dependable, no-fuss defensive revolver. Simple to load, simple to shoot, simple to maintain. That's the whole appeal of a wheelgun, and this one delivers it in a package light enough that you'll keep it on you.
Yes. Like any revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, it will safely fire .38 Special and .38 Special +P ammunition. A lot of owners carry it loaded with magnums or +P defensive loads and practice at the range with standard .38s, which are cheaper and much easier on the hands.
It is. The frame uses steel reinforcement in the areas that take the stress, so it handles magnum pressure while shaving weight compared to an all-steel 605. At around 24 ounces, it's noticeably lighter to carry, and the rubber grip does a good job managing the extra snap that comes with a lighter gun.
It's a traditional double action/single action revolver with an exposed hammer. Pull the trigger straight through for a longer double action shot, or thumb the hammer back first for a much lighter single action break. That flexibility makes it a good fit for both defensive carry and casual range time.
It wears a bright fiber optic front sight paired with a fixed notch rear machined into the frame. The fiber optic gathers light and pulls your eye to the front sight quickly, which is a real advantage on a short-barreled revolver. There's nothing to adjust or knock loose, so it stays zeroed with normal carry and use.
