There's a reason the small-frame .357 snubby has stuck around for decades: it just works. The Taurus 605 Poly Protector takes that proven formula and trims the weight down to about 20 ounces unloaded thanks to its black polymer frame, so it rides comfortably in a holster or a bag without dragging on you all day. The matte stainless steel cylinder gives it a sharp two-tone look while adding corrosion resistance right where powder fouling and moisture tend to collect.
The 605 Poly Protector chambers .357 Magnum and also runs .38 Special +P, which is the real beauty of this platform. Load full-house magnums for serious defensive duty, then switch to soft-shooting .38s for affordable, low-recoil range sessions. The 2 inch barrel and 6.7 inch overall length keep it compact enough for deep concealment, and the ridged rubber Ribber grip soaks up recoil better than you'd expect from a gun this size. Five rounds sit in the cylinder, and the low-profile cylinder release keeps the profile smooth for a clean draw.
A lot of snub nose revolvers ship with a hard-to-see machined front blade. Not this one. Taurus fits the 605 Poly Protector with a red fiber optic front sight that grabs light and pulls your eye to the target fast, paired with a fixed notch rear. The DA/SA action gives you options too: run it double action for defensive work, or thumb back the hammer for a lighter, crisper single action pull when you're taking your time on target. A transfer bar and the Taurus Security System round out the safety features.
Simple manual of arms, no magazines to manage, and the flexibility to feed it two calibers. Whether it's your first carry gun, a backup piece, or a nightstand companion, the 605 Poly Protector covers the fundamentals without any fuss, and it does it at a weight you'll barely notice on your belt.
Yes. It's chambered for .357 Magnum, which means it also handles .38 Special and .38 Special +P. A lot of owners carry magnum or +P loads for defense and practice with standard .38s, which are cheaper and much softer shooting out of a 20 oz gun.
It weighs right around 20 ounces unloaded, which is noticeably lighter than all-steel snubbies in this class. With a 6.7 inch overall length and a smooth, rounded profile, it disappears easily in an IWB holster or pocket rig and won't wear you out over a full day of carry.
It ships with a red fiber optic front sight and a fixed notch rear machined into the frame. The fiber optic is a real upgrade over the plain ramp found on most snub nose revolvers, since it gathers light and stands out fast when you bring the gun up, even in dimmer conditions.
Full magnum loads out of a lightweight 2 inch revolver will always have some bite, but the ridged Ribber rubber grip does a good job cushioning your hand and keeping the gun planted. Many owners run .38 Special for practice and save the magnums for carry, which is a smart way to build skill without the extra pounding.
