The Taurus Defender 605 revolver combines a compact design with the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge for versatile personal protection, range, and outdoor use. Built around a small steel frame, this double-action/single-action revolver offers a practical balance of strength, handling, and portability. The Taurus part number 2-60535NSVZ identifies this Defender-series configuration, which features a matte black finish for a low-reflective appearance and durable everyday performance.
The revolver includes a stainless steel barrel with a matte black finish, a matte black steel frame, and a matching matte black cylinder. Its six-round cylinder provides dependable capacity while maintaining the straightforward operation associated with a revolver. An exposed combat-style hammer supports deliberate single-action shooting, while the double-action trigger allows the firearm to be fired without manually cocking the hammer. A transfer-bar safety helps prevent unintended discharge when the revolver is handled responsibly and used in accordance with applicable laws and safety practices.
Walnut grips provide a traditional appearance and a secure, comfortable grasp. The fixed ramp front sight and fixed rear sight offer a simple, durable sighting system that stays aligned without the complexity of adjustable components. Weighing approximately 22 ounces, the Taurus Defender 605 is designed for convenient carry and quick handling. Whether selected for defensive readiness, training, or recreational shooting, this Taurus revolver delivers a compact .357 Magnum platform with proven DA/SA functionality and practical controls.
