Taurus Defender 605 3" 5rd .357 Mag Revolver w/ Altamont Wood Grip – 2-6053CNS

With a comparable S&W M60 3" running almost twice the price, this is a very well put together wheelgun ...especially considering the factory night sight, Hogue grip and even matte finish. The double action trigger is comparable to a S&W while the single action pull is a bit gritty and about 5#. This should smooth out over time.

So far I've had it about a week. I've shoot around 200rds through it. Only complaint is the grip is TOO rigid on the back strap. I smoothed that out, and added some galloway precision springs. Runs like a top with all the 38 special I've run through it. Just waiting on heavy 357 to come in.

Great size for a ccw with plenty of stopping power with the 357 magnum cartridge. Trigger is a lil stiff in single action and was really gritty when I got it but after about 100 rounds or so it smoothed right out. Trigger is nice and smooth now. I would recommend this pistol to anyone looking for a good ccw wheel gun.

The DEFENDER 605 with the HOUGE grip and 3" barrel make a concealable power house. I'm sure it would live up to its name should it ever be called upon.

Ordered the 605 from guns.com on a Friday and it delivered to my FFL the following Wednesday. This is the second handgun I have ordered from guns.com and both times was fast and easy. In regard to the 605, it is a great little gun. So far have put about thirty 38s and handful of 357. All shot to post of aim, the 38s were easy to shoot and the 357s...Read More Read more about review stating Great gu

Perfect combination of caliber, barrel length, weight and dimensions for concealed carry and self defense. A good, solid dependable firearm.

I've put 500 rounds of .38 spl. through it and so far so good. I have yet to fire any magnum rounds but will get around to it soon.

Awesome size and weight for outdoor activities where predators are present. Very accurate and snappy with full power loads, as to be expected. Very happy with this purchase.
