Taurus 608 .357 Mag 6.5" Matte Stainless, 8-Shot

The Taurus 608 .357 Mag 6.5" Matte Stainless, 8-Shot is a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) revolver chambered for .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P. This model has a matte stainless finish on both the frame and cylinder, and features a 6.50-inch barrel.

The Taurus 608 Revolver Line

Taurus builds its double-action revolvers with a transfer bar safety. This safety mechanism is designed to prevent the firing pin from striking the primer unless the trigger is fully pulled. The DA/SA trigger system offers both a longer, heavier pull for double-action firing and a shorter, lighter pull for single-action firing.

The 608 model is designed with an 8-round capacity, which is higher than many traditional revolvers. This particular version has a 6.50-inch barrel and an overall length of 11.67 inches. It weighs 51.00 ounces unloaded. The frame is made from stainless steel and is a medium frame size.

Sights on this model include a fixed front sight and an adjustable rear sight. The barrel has a 1:16.5-inch right-hand twist rate.

Comparing Taurus 608 Models

This 6.5-inch barrel model offers a longer sight radius compared to the Taurus 608 .357 Mag 4" Matte Stainless, 8-Shot. A longer barrel can contribute to increased muzzle velocity and potentially better accuracy at longer distances. The longer barrel also adds to the overall weight, which can help in recoil absorption.

Another version we carry is the Taurus 608 Competition .357 Mag 6" Matte Stainless, 8-Shot. While both have long barrels, the Competition model has a 6-inch barrel, compared to this model's 6.5-inch barrel. All 608 models share the 8-round capacity and the ability to fire both .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P ammunition.
