Taurus 605 Defender 3" 5rd .357 Magnum Revolver, Black – 2-60531NS

Went out and shot the pistol today. Only fired 20 rounds offhand from 2 batches of ammo. The Federal 158 grain JSP printed about 3-4" high a @ 20 yds. The center of the group above the aiming point. So the pistol is doing what it is supposed to be doing. The Hogue grip tamed the recoil very well. After I get some cold blue I will file some edges. The pistol came with an extra front sight (plain), a cable lock for the cylinder, and a smaller Taurus rubber grip. I really like the matte black

I’ve run roughly 150 rounds of 38 special and roughly 50 rounds of 357 since I purchased it, nice little revolver. Every round has gone through flawlessly without issue. Single action is short and light while double action has a long heavy pull but it’s very predictable, High vis front site makes targeting easy and the hogue grip is fantastic. After a few rounds of settling in the revolver is extremely accurate and predictable, the gun loves 38’s but the 357’s on this frame are a little aggressive - manageable, but after about 10 rounds you’ll want to switch back to 38’s.

Great little revolver,?very easy to conceal,and also easy to carry owb. Have not fired yet because of work, can’t wait to make it go bang! Looks and feels really good in my hand. I really like the flat black finish!

Mighty little gun! Not for the faint at heart. We put some full house .357 through the little gun even a 180 grain Buffalo Bore and it handled it just fine. My wrist? not so well. It really is a great little gun but hard on the wrist.

just shot it for the first time the other day, feels nice in the hand, only shot 38 spl rounds though

Love the pistol.. shoots great and 3 inch barrel really gives the pistol balance and added velocity.. have shot cheap 38 and high velocity Hornady and Underwood ammo pistol shoots great with all ..

Handy little .357 for carry, after I change out the mainspring and trigger return spring. Ordered springs from Wolff Gunsprings, M-CARBO didn't have a kit for this one, they are on the way right now. Good sights for a small revolver in this price range, orange tritium front sight is great, and rear fixed sight is deep and wide enough for a decent sight picture. Double action trigger pull is hard, and it's obvious to me from the feel it's the mainspring or hammer spring. Also, the Hogue grips it
