There's something about a classy revolver that a polymer pistol just can't match, and the Taurus 605 Gentleman's Carry leans into that idea. Taurus took their proven small frame 605 and gave it a serious style upgrade: a matte black frame paired with a high polish, DLC coated black stainless steel cylinder and glossy black Altamont wood grips. The result is a snub nose that looks right at home tucked under a sport coat but still means business when it counts.
Underneath the good looks, this is the same dependable 605 platform that's been a staple of the concealed carry world since the mid 90s. You get five rounds of .357 Magnum on tap, and since it's chambered for the magnum, it happily digests .38 Special too. That flexibility is a big deal in a snub gun. Load .38s for relaxed practice sessions, then step up to full power magnums when it's riding in the holster. The double action/single action trigger gives you a smooth pull for defensive work and a lighter single action option when you have time to thumb the hammer back for a precise shot.
The 2 inch barrel and small frame keep this revolver easy to conceal inside the waistband or in a coat pocket holster, and the pinned front sight with a fixed rear keeps the sight picture simple and snag free on the draw. Since the 605 shares its footprint with other common five shot revolvers, finding holsters and speed loaders is about as easy as it gets.
Plenty of snub nose revolvers get the job done. Not many do it while looking this sharp. If you appreciate wood and polished steel but want a modern, dependable carry gun underneath, this one checks both boxes without making you choose between style and substance.
Yes. Because it's chambered in .357 Magnum, it safely fires .38 Special as well. A lot of owners practice with softer shooting .38s to keep range time comfortable, then carry .357 Magnum or .38 Special defensive loads. That versatility is one of the biggest reasons the 605 platform has stayed popular for decades.
Mechanically it's the same trusted 5-shot small frame 605. The Gentleman's Carry edition adds a high polish, DLC coated black stainless steel cylinder, a matte black frame, and gloss black Altamont wood grips. It's a dressed up version aimed at folks who want their carry revolver to look as good as it runs.
It's well suited for it. The 2 inch barrel, small frame, and fixed snag free sights make it easy to conceal and quick to draw. And since it shares dimensions with other common 5-shot snub revolvers, holster and speed loader options are plentiful.
Any 2 inch .357 has some bark, and this one is no exception, though the steel construction helps soak up recoil better than ultralight snubs. Many owners find 110 to 125 grain magnum loads or .38 Special +P hit a nice balance of power and control. Practicing with standard .38 Special keeps things pleasant and builds solid fundamentals.
