Revolvers stayed stuck with iron sights for a long time while everything else went optics ready. Taurus changed that with the 605 T.O.R.O., one of the first small frame .357 Magnum revolvers built from the factory to take a micro red dot. The mount accepts optics with the Holosun K footprint, which covers a wide range of popular compact dots. Zero one to your carry load and you get faster target acquisition and a sight picture that does not depend on lining up a notch and post under stress.
A lot of snub guns run 2 inch barrels, and .357 Magnum loses a good chunk of its punch out of a tube that short. The 3 inch stainless barrel on this 605 gives the cartridge more room to build velocity while keeping the whole package at 7.5 inches overall and around 23.5 ounces unloaded. That extra steel up front also soaks up recoil, and the rubber grips help take the sting out of full power magnum loads. When you want an easier day at the range, .38 Special and .38 +P run just fine through the same cylinder.
The T.O.R.O. is based on the Defender 605 platform, so you get all steel construction with a matte stainless finish that shrugs off sweat and weather, a five shot cylinder, and a transfer bar safety so it is safe to carry fully loaded. The double action pull is smooth and consistent for defensive work, and the knurled hammer lets you cock it for a lighter single action break when you have time to make a precise shot.
This one makes sense for anyone who likes the simplicity of a revolver but wants modern sighting options. It carries well, it doubles as a nightstand gun, and the fixed sights still work fine if you decide to run it without an optic. Just plan on picking up a K footprint dot separately, since one is not included in the box.
The factory mount accepts micro red dots built on the Holosun K footprint. That includes popular compact options like the Holosun 407K and 507K, plus other brands that share the same mounting pattern. The optic itself is not included, so budget for one if you plan to run a dot.
Yes. Like any .357 Magnum revolver, it handles .38 Special and .38 Special +P without issue. A lot of owners practice with softer shooting .38s and load full power magnums for defense, which is an easy way to keep range time comfortable.
It carries very well for an all steel magnum. At 7.5 inches overall and about 23.5 ounces unloaded, it rides comfortably in a quality belt or IWB holster, and the extra weight compared to lightweight snubs pays you back with noticeably tamer recoil. Just make sure your holster accounts for an optic if you mount one.
It does, especially with .357 Magnum. The longer barrel lets the cartridge build more velocity before the bullet exits, so you get more of the performance you are paying for with magnum ammo. You also pick up a longer sight radius and a bit more muzzle weight, both of which help with control and follow-up shots.
