Defender 605 vs. Other 605 Models

This 3-inch barrel Defender 605 offers a longer sight radius and potentially more velocity compared to the 2-inch barrel Taurus 605 models. For example, we also carry the Taurus 605 357 Magnum Revolver, 2" and the Taurus 605 .357 Mag 2" Matte Stainless, 5-Shot. The 3-inch barrel on this Defender model provides a balance between concealability and shootability. Other variations include polymer-framed models like the Taurus 605 Protector .357 Mag 2" Black Polymer, 5-Shot, as well as T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optic Ready Option) versions for those who prefer to mount an optic, such as the Taurus 605 T.O.R.O. .357 Mag 3", 5-Shot. This specific Defender 605 model (MPN 2-60531NS) features a matte black stainless steel frame and a matte stainless cylinder.
