Taurus Defender 605 357 Mag/38 Spl +P 3" 5-Rd DA/SA Revolver

The Taurus Defender 605 is a compact, five-shot double-action/single-action revolver purpose-built for concealed carry and home defense. Chambered for 357 Magnum with 38 Special +P capability, this snub-nosed revolver pairs serious defensive stopping power with a lightweight, easy-to-conceal package that has long made the small-frame 605 platform a go-to choice for personal protection.

At the heart of the Defender 605 is a 3" matte stainless steel barrel mated to a matte black cylinder, all riding in a matte-finished stainless steel small frame. The result is a corrosion-resistant package with a low-glare finish that disappears into a holster or jacket pocket. The overall length is 7.50" and the revolver tips the scales at 25.52 oz, striking a sensible balance between shootability and concealability.

A traditional exposed hammer drives the DA/SA action, allowing both a controlled double-action trigger pull for the first shot and a short, crisp single-action pull for follow-ups. Sighting is handled by a high-visibility night front blade paired with a fixed rear groove, a setup optimized for fast defensive sight acquisition in low light.

The Defender 605 wears a set of textured Black/Gray VZ grips that fill the hand and keep the revolver locked in under recoil. Whether carried in a pocket, ankle rig, or belt holster, the Defender 605 delivers the reliable, no-nonsense performance Taurus revolvers are known for in a package easy to live with every day.
