I just purchased this I appreciate the breakdown of the safety featurs

Been carrying one for about 4 years now, love it. I carry it with 110gr .357 rounds. To me it feels like 38+P fired out of an air weight 642 S&W. Very manageable. I've fired 158gr .357 from it, totally different story. Those rounds pack a wallop and are difficult to shoot from such a small gun.

I bought one of these years ago when I saw it in a pawn shop for $175- not sorry about the purchase. I've tried doing a serial number look-up on the Taurus/Rossi website to determine its date of manufacture but found no listing for this model.

I understand why some people want to shoot 38's in their 357. I have a 11.7 oz S&W 360 PD in 357, so yeah. In this case however, I would think if someone liked/wanted a Taurus snubbie and knew they were going to carry 38 specials, you might as well get the Taurus 856. One extra round in a snubbie-size package is a 20% increase in capacity.

Great video

If you decock it with the lever can you cock it by pulling back the hammer and then fire it?

I really feel bad for the guy that gets a 357 pulled on him. I don't actually feel bad.

Just got one from my dad's collection

Terrific review. Many thanks! 👍👍👍

ROSSI is still in business; the guns are made in Brazil. They just started making revolvers again, mainly .357 Magnums with a few different barrel lengths.

Great gun, but the original grips suck and dig into your hand.

My boyfriend just bought me the Taurus 605 as my first self defense gun a couple weeks ago and we just took it to the range to shoot the 357 & 38 special on 4th of July for familiarization. Definitely agree the 38 special is the lighter of the two. But just as I finished cleaning it, and pulled the trigger a couple times, the yoke screw popped right off! Does anyone know why this would be?! This is concerning as a first time gun owner.

I have a fat trigger finger. That trigger hurts my finger. Any way to straighten, or replace, that trigger???

I just picked up another W. German Sig and the guy I purchased it from was selling one of these for $275. I knew nothing about it but it was in good shape so I decided to take a chance and purchased it.

I have a firefly and it’s failing to fire. Looks like it’s not striking the round hard enough.

Mine didn’t come with the key

My dad just scored a blued steel one of these used for $225 stupid clean

I just bought the same gun but I'm searching for the original grips.

Sooo, did you buy it from a friend like you said in the very beginning or out of some dude’s trunk like you said about 2 minutes into the video ?

That holster is a accident waiting to happen

Miss these Carl. Jr commercials lol 😂

I am going to eventually probably get one.I wanna get my Green Dot first,then later on get a light.I was thinking the same thing the weight of the light helping a little with the accuracy.How is the laser,and is the laser dot pretty accurate???I also kinda wondered that.I could see it being hard to stay accurate when shooting it a bunch of that makes sense.

What about the laser? do you use it? light on or off?

I really like the look of those wood stocks. Another guy on UA-cam used a Dremmel with a felt polishing wheel on his 605 and it actually looked real nice, kind of like your Rossi there.

Ive got the Taurus 605 defender with a Hogue grip. Ive got large hands and the Hogue grips feel good. The Trigger pull is just over 11 lbs on double action and right at 6 lbs on single. I ordered Galloway reduced trigger spring kit which should cut it down to half that which I'm looking forward to. Great gun.

The old Rossi 38 2"barrel are made better than S&W did you know Rossi Gun Co did a lot of work years ago for smith and wesson that's why so many Rossi guns look like S&W gun's 😮

Also holy shit, dry firing a rimfire is wild af especially when you have a snap cap.

My brother in Christ the firefly and the mosquito are the same pistol. Literally the same pistol made on the same tooling in the same factory.

A friend gifted one exactly like it to us. I love it. I agree it reminds me of an old detective movie. Right now, I have snake shot in it after seeing a cottonmouth on our driveway.

I purchased one of these back in 1990 brand new. Since then I have bought and sold several firearms, but selling this one has never been a consideration. Might even take it to my grave. lol

Where can I get those wood grips

Buen día, amigo tengo una igual gsg igual que esa, del vídeo,pero necesito su opinión la consideras una buena pistola. Te lo voy a agradecer gracias.

It opens like the Keltec P17

That safety actaully makes LOGICAL sense, straight parallel to the slide = ready to fire and down meaning STOP no fire. Unlike the AR platform which has it logically wrong

Great job on the tutorial! Thank you so much

I AM A MULTI SIG GUN OWNER-------HOWEVER, THIS SIG 322/mosquito, BOTH HAS ISSUES, sig quality control sucks, this gun never should have been allowed to be marketed

I subscribed, I like your format for reviews. On the SCCY, my experience has been negative from people at the range, and my a friend who is gunshop owner who stopped carrying them on the shop when a client broke the gun (literally) whole racking a round in on the parking lot. Which prompted the gunshop to refund the gun. I do have a theory for the angry clients (mostly women) who returned the gun due to jamming. It could be they were limp wristing the gun as it does have a major kick due to the size and design of the gun. I am glad yours have worked.

I have the 605 3", imo the 12# trigger will require a spring kit to get it down to around 8#, the stock 12# will affect accuracy

Can you use 357, bullet's in a .38 special?

I have the Same Gun. I did have an issue with it Shaving .357 Rounds and getting some sort of Shrapnel blow back. I did send it in and Taurus adjusted the forcing cone and sort of fixed it. LOL I also put in the Galloway spring kit in it. Its a good carry gun.

Just coming back to this Video, I noticed it has the Trigger lock. My M335 does not. However, My Taurus 605 has it as well. Makes me wonder is this was mad after Taurus bought Rossi. By the way I love that Snub. I wouln't shoot + P out of it. However if you want a good round I would Recommend the Liberty Civil Defense Rounds in .38 I have Chronographed them at 1500 FPS. The get there with a 50g Hollowpoint. Also. I was tying this before you got to the trigger and Hammer swap..LOL Cheers bud

I have owned and carried the Taurus 605 357 mag since early 2000. It's a fantastic revolver. Durban, South Africa

the gun was made after 2008 when taurus (braztech) bought the rossi revolver line , as it has a trigger lock.

good review. i carry one appendix in a bulldog holster, also, and forget it's there. the cheap nylon holster does get wet from sweat in the summer and causes the stainless steel to rust a little. i carry .357, though, as i carry 38+p in my 85. the 357 is manageable and i shoot the 605 better than my sp101 and it has a shorter barrel which is more comfortable to carry. taurus and rossi were two totally different companies until taurus bought the rights to produce the rossi revolvers. the rossi has the firing pin on the hammer as opposed to the transfer bar system deployed by taurus. the same company owned both taurus and smith & wesson at one time a few years back and they supposedly shared ideas. anyway, good review of a good gun.

I have always been a revolver guy. I purchased the firefly about a year ago. I have never taken it apart. while shooting it for the first time I noticed that the mag would come loose. I rarely shoot this gun, however now I have the mag falling out after I fire it. I have also noticed that I can pull on the mag and it will come out without hit hitting the release button. Any suggestions on how to fit this ? ( and yes, I have tried other mags. )

I have rossi m68,,taurus owns rossi now,,

It is not a "clone" of a Sig Sauer Mosquito. Sig contracted GSG to build their Mosquito. That arrangement ended and GSG continues to make the same gun under their own branding. Don't believe me? strip it down and you will see Sig Sauer on the side of the barrel.

my dad has a 605 that went thru the taurus custom shop they smoothed the action and ported it I don't like to carrie 38+p in my S&W 642 but I don't mind .357 in the 605 I also have a m327 in .327 fed mag it is unported and a hand full with 100 gr .327s I carrie .32 h&r mags in it
