There's a reason the wheelgun format never goes out of style, and the Taurus Model 65 is a textbook example of why. This is a medium-frame, six-shot service revolver chambered in .357 Magnum with a 4-inch barrel and a full underlug that adds muzzle weight right where you want it. At 38 ounces of blued carbon steel, it soaks up magnum recoil far better than the lightweight snubbies most folks picture when they hear .357, and follow-up shots come back on target quicker than you'd expect.
The double action/single action trigger gives you options. Run it double action for defensive work, or thumb back the exposed hammer for a light, crisp single action break when you're punching paper at distance. The fixed ramp front and notch rear sights are regulated from the factory and have nothing to snag, loosen, or knock out of alignment. Finger-grooved rubber grips fill the hand nicely and take the sting out of full-power magnum loads. A transfer bar safety plus the Taurus Security System round out the package, and Taurus backs it all with their lifetime repair policy.
Because it's chambered for .357 Magnum, the Model 65 also handles .38 Special and .38 Special +P. That's the real beauty of this platform. Load soft-shooting .38s for practice and new shooters, then stoke it with magnums for home defense or trail carry. One gun covers the whole spread.
This pattern of revolver spent decades riding in duty holsters for good reason: it works. The 4-inch barrel gets solid velocity out of the .357 cartridge, the fixed sights are always where you left them, and there's nothing on the gun that demands fiddling. Whether it's your first revolver, a nightstand gun, or a do-it-all companion for the range and the backcountry, the Model 65 delivers classic six-gun utility without any fuss.
Yes. Since it's chambered in .357 Magnum, the Model 65 safely fires .38 Special and .38 Special +P as well. Lots of owners practice with cheaper, softer-shooting .38s and load magnums when it counts. Just note it doesn't work the other way; a .38 Special revolver cannot fire .357 Magnum.
It weighs in around 38 ounces thanks to its all-steel medium frame and full underlug barrel. That heft makes a real difference with full-power .357 Magnum loads, taming muzzle flip and keeping extended range sessions comfortable. It's a much more pleasant magnum to shoot than the small-frame snub-nose guns.
No, the Model 65 uses a fixed ramp front sight and a notch rear machined into the frame. They're regulated at the factory and there's nothing to drift, loosen, or snag on a holster. For a defensive or general-purpose revolver, that simplicity is a feature, not a shortcoming.
The Model 65 is covered by the Taurus lifetime repair policy, which applies to the firearm itself rather than just the original buyer. If something mechanical ever goes wrong, Taurus will repair it. Between that and the simple all-steel design, this is a revolver built to stay in the family for a long time.
