Taurus Defender 605 Night Sights .357 Mag/.38 Special Revolver

The Taurus Defender 605 is a compact, five-shot revolver chambered for .357 Mag and .38 Special. Its three-inch barrel offers a useful balance between concealability and shootability, while the compact frame makes it well suited to everyday carry and home-defense roles. This model features a matte black finish, factory-installed night sights, and textured VZ G10 grips that provide a confident grasp during defensive use. The revolver uses double-action operation with an exposed hammer for single-action capability when desired. A transfer-bar safety helps prevent discharge unless the trigger is deliberately pressed.
