The Taurus 605 .357 Magnum 2" Revolver is a compact, five-shot snub-nose designed for concealed carry and personal protection. This small-frame revolver handles both .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P ammunition, packing serious stopping power into a lightweight 24-ounce package.

Compact Power for Concealed Carry

With its 2" barrel and 6.5" overall length, the Taurus 605 slips easily into holsters or pockets. The alloy steel frame keeps weight down while maintaining durability. The matte black oxide finish on both frame and cylinder resists corrosion.

This revolver uses a traditional double-action/single-action trigger and fixed sights for simple operation. The transfer bar safety prevents accidental discharge if dropped. Its 1:16.5 right-hand twist barrel stabilizes both .357 Magnum and .38 Special rounds.

How It Compares to Other 605 Models

This base model 605 has the shortest 2" barrel option with a matte black finish. The Protector version adds a polymer frame, while T.O.R.O. models have optics-ready slides. Several 3" barrel variants offer slightly better ballistics, like the Defender and Executive Grade models with stainless finishes.

What to Know Before Ordering

All firearms ship to your chosen FFL dealer for transfer. Check your state laws regarding revolver carry and .357 Magnum ammunition. The small frame and snub-nose design make this easier to conceal than larger revolvers, but require practice to master recoil control.
