There's a big difference between a good carry revolver and one you look forward to shooting, and the Taurus 605 Executive Grade lands squarely in the second camp. Taurus builds these in a dedicated Executive Grade cell where one gunsmith handles each gun from start to finish, and it shows. The trigger is hand-tuned, the chambers are chamfered for quicker reloads, and the satin polished stainless finish is smooth everywhere your hand or holster touches. Checkered Altamont walnut grips with brass accent hardware give it a classic presentation look that the standard 605 never had.
Underneath the upgrades, this is still the compact 5-shot .357 Magnum frame that made the 605 a staple since the mid 90s. The 3-inch barrel adds sight radius and velocity over a true snub while keeping the whole package at 7.5 inches overall and around 23 ounces. That extra bit of steel over an airweight also soaks up recoil, so full-house .357 Magnum loads stay manageable. Prefer something softer for practice? It runs .38 Special and +P all day. A brass rod front sight over a fixed rear keeps the sight picture simple and snag-free, and the full-length underlug protects the slightly extended ejector rod.
DA/SA operation gives you a clean single-action break for deliberate shots and a smooth double-action pull when speed matters. The cylinder release works just like a Smith & Wesson style latch, push forward and swing out, and the gun accepts the same speedloaders as other common 5-shot revolvers, so feeding it on the move is easy. Every one ships in a fitted Nanuk hard case that's genuinely worth keeping, not the usual throwaway cardboard box. Whether it rides in an IWB holster during the week or comes out as your show piece on the weekend, this is the nicest version of the 605 Taurus has ever put out.
Executive Grade revolvers are hand-built by Taurus's most experienced revolver gunsmiths in a dedicated production cell, with one gunsmith seeing each gun through from start to finish. This one gets a hand-tuned trigger, chamfered chambers, a polished satin stainless finish, checkered Altamont walnut grips, and a brass rod front sight. It also ships in a fitted Nanuk hard case instead of a standard box.
Yes. Since it's chambered in .357 Magnum, it safely handles .38 Special and .38 Special +P as well. A lot of owners practice with softer-shooting .38s and load .357 Magnum for carry or home defense duty.
It does. Taurus designed it to accept the same speedloaders used with other common 5-shot revolvers, and the chamfered chamber mouths make reloads noticeably smoother. That's a nice touch on a gun aimed at everyday carry.
At roughly 23 ounces of all-steel construction with hand-filling walnut grips, this one is more pleasant with magnum loads than lightweight snubs. Full-power .357 still has some bark out of a 3-inch barrel, but the weight and grip shape keep it controllable. Running .38 Special makes for easy, low-recoil range sessions.
