I could sit here an hour and tell you all the good things about my 605.I have bathed mine in Ballistol a few times and now it's even better than buttery smooth as far as the trigger and hammer action.Yea,put some bright orange finger nail polish on the front sight,I can tell you from experience,improves target pick up 100%.Aslo I find the best and most potient ammo without using 357 Magnum is Remington 38 Special +P hollowpoints.Maybe a bit louder and just a tad more vibration in your hand but you can shoot that all day through the 605 and it has an incredible impact on whatever it hits.
I also own a Taurus 605 and man I absolutely love it!!! There is just something addictive about this revolver!!! I did however decide to replace the Taurus grips on mine with bigger Hogue grips & I can actually shoot and handle 125 grain .357 loads now with no problem!!! Great video!! 👍👍👍
I added the rosewood grips and it makes such a difference, I have big hands too and the bigger circumference is so much more comfortable! Love the gun, the magnum rounds are brutal though…. But I love it!
One of my favorites and a frequent carry. Its affordable, utilitarian, and accurate. Thanks for the review. Nice holster you made. At first I thought it was a Kramer.
It's becoming one of my favorites as well! Thanks, I've been doing leather work for a couple years now, mostly Western holsters but I enjoy making any holster. Thank you for watching!
Find a good holster is the only negative side to the 605. It's similar to the Taurus Mod 85 but still just a bit bigger. So most Kydex holsters will not work without modification. I found a couple of leather holsters. Winthrop's OWB holster is a good value but it's a bit too soft for my taste. The best leather holster has been the Bianchi Remedy 57 (Item 1093887) and Amazon has it for $38
excellent and timely review! nongunners especially seeking a defensive firearm these days need look no further. this taurus or any 357/38 revolver is effective and simple. i really enjoy my taurus 85. 38sp fmj ball ammo is good enough for my needs.
Just found your channel. You do a nice job on the videos and the reviews. I have had one of these for about a year and it has been an excellent gun. Your point about it being a great choice for beginners is well taken. My wife hasn’t shot much but she finds this gun very comfortable to shoot and she shoots it very well. I reload and use the Speer 135 grain gold dot short barrel bullet for personal defense and get great expansion at plus p .38 special loads. Glad I found your channel.
I am impressed with the 605 and it does shoot very well. I have carried it with just a tee shirt on and with the holster I made, it's pretty concealable too! I'm glad you found my channel too! Thanks for watching!
I’ve had mine for a few years and love it. The only gripe I have is that the factory grip has serrations on the back that hurt when shooting .357. I usually load .38+P and the grips are fine. I tried new grips but the ones I ordered over the internet made the gun considerable larger and I can’t pocket carry with them on it, so I switched back. I’m thinking of trying to sand those serrations off. Without them the grip would be perfect.
The houge grip upgrade helps get all fingers on the pistol but exposes the back and with magnum loads it stings the hand but dam it packs a punch I have the matte black one.
Just looked at this revolver this evening and was considering whether or not to purchase it for my first revolver and you just helped the process tremendously. Being in law enforcement I am used to shooting striker fired handguns but have never shot a revolver. This will be a great addition to my collection as well as another option for edc. I am definitely subscribing to your channel sir. Thank You and God Bless
I used to own a Taurus 605 & made the stupid decision to sell it & regret it everyday. Watching this video has made made me want to buy me one again!! I think I’m going to make me a trip to the gun store very soon!!! I’m a subscriber!!!👍
I own a S&W 640, a Ruger LCR, a Ruger SP-101, and a Taurus 605. I love them all, but I would not recommend any of them as a self defense weapon for a new shooter. J-frame revolvers are weapons for experienced shooters. They are great guns for those who have had lots of training and/or experience.
Everything I've heard or read, recommends revolvers for new or inexperienced shooters. Years ago I was government trained with a revolver, much simpler operation and highly reliable.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I too was initially trained on a revolver as a federal officer. I strongly support a K-frame revolver, like a model 10 S&W for a novice shooter. But J-frame revolvers take a lot of dedicated practice to become truly proficient. Most novice shooters are not going to put in the practice necessary to defend themselves and their families with a j-frame. J-frames, especially airweight versions are unpleasant to shoot to a novice. While a K-frame S&W model 10, or a model 66, are an absolute joy to shoot. I believe a k-frame. 357 is the best revolver for beginners as they can start out shooting .38 specials and move up to .357 magnum ammo once they are more competent, without the need to spend additional money on a new gun. Their money is best spent on practice ammo. Just my opinion, but based on 30 years of law enforcement including training a lot of new shooters as a District Firearms Instructer.
Taurus 605 is excellent personal protection pistol especially with the 38+P rounds. Affordable and accurate pistol highly recommend for especially for beginner.
Today, I picked up a Taurus 605. It’s my first revolver. I want to get the Taurus Judge TORO and the Taurus Judge Home Defender. Thank you for the review. It was my first time seeing one of your videos. I just subscribed. 🇺🇸
Just picked up my first handgun a SS 856 .38, the 605 was taken off the roster recently in CA, so the 38 was my only option, so far I like it a lot & it feels great in my hand & affordable. I feel Taurus semi autos gets a lot of slack but the revolvers seems to be pretty solid...I might upgrade the grips and to lower power springs in the future
I've only had issues with one Taurus semi auto, the Spectrum, all of my others have been just fine. I hope to do a video on the Taurus 942 revolver in .22mag this weekend, I hope you'll be watching!
@@beefcake6324 I carry mine in a sticky holster and I usually wear slightly baggy pants so it fits great. The holster protects the trigger and makes it look like a wallet in my front pocket.
It’s my favorite handgun besides my Glock 30 my first gun was a605 with the transfer bar safety and a heavy trigger I’ve never used a holster when pocket carrying as long as there’s nothing else in that pocket
I have a black version and love it. Much more accurate than you would expect. I think that's partly because of the stainless barrel sleeve construction. I have a Kydex IWB that allows the revolver to sit down into the pants well - the way I like.
I just bought the 605 Poly-Defender with 2 inch, and 357 is almost too much of a handful for the light weight. I also bought the 605 Defender in steel with 3 inch pipe. The extra weight is a huge bonus for controlling the 357 loads. I'm thinking my girlfriend will end up with the Poly and I'll use the 3 inch, and run 38 in both for everyday carry, that way either of us can grab whichever is closest and use it well. There are some crowds that find a wheelgun to be much less intimidating if they happen to see it. But we will still carry our Taurus 9's for most other applications. Good review!
I was wanting to pick up a poly 605 but was thinking the same thing, there's just not much weight there to eat up any recoil. The .38's will definitely help. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
Wolff sells a Taurus Mod 85 spring kit that can really lighten up trigger pulls. I replaced the trigger spring and mainspring and that made a huge difference. I later went back to the factory mainspring as I think it probably would have led to some light primer strikes. I never did test it however. After the full mod, the DA pull was buttery smooth and very light. The SA was scary light but it broke like glass. Even with just the trigger spring upgrade, it makes a pretty noticeable difference in pull weight. I may go back to the lighter weight and try out my PDX 357MAG ammo to see if there are any problems.
I’ve had mine for 3 or 4 years with absolutely no issues. I have carried it my truck, but now it’s a bedside gun. I didn’t want my wife to deal with a semiautomatic if something happens when I’m not home. I keep it loaded with Hornady Critical Defense. If someone breaks into our house it’s going to be a bad day for them.
I got one I enjoy it very much carry it a lot. With that said if you need parts or service it can take 6-12 months to get them. I sent mine in to get fixed on October and received it late March! Before any covid hit. I’ve talked to people who where waiting 14 plus months for just parts. I am a fan of the 605 however I will not buy another Taurus product. Customer service is horrible at best. Buy a smith or ruger
I know someone that sent a Spectrum back, it took several months as well. The new President of Taurus says he'll fix the customer service issues, I hope I never have to use it!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I had to have some work done on my 605. My local gunsmith warned me the parts were notoriously slow to get, but by some miracle, I had it back in three weeks.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I have heard rumor that Taurus subsidized with another company recently which is also subsidized by Smith&Wesson. Again just rumor no solid proof on my statement.
As long as it doesn't smack me in the head or break my wrists, I love recoil! I would not recommend one handing a 454 Casull revolver! I think you'll like the 605. Thanks for watching!
Bought an 85 for my wife years ago. Loved that revolver! Bought the 605 for my girlfriend and I love that even more!! The trigger was too heavy for her so I got a kit. Now its butter smooth. I know when I've got .357 in it, but it's manageable. Haven't tried the .38 plus P. Ill give it a go and see.....!
I have not shot an 85 but many years ago I ran a shoebox full of .38s through a 65, great shooting gun. I like the 605, it's a good shooter and easy to conceal too. The 942 is the same frame as the 605 but chambered in 22lr or .22mag with 8 round capacity. Thanks for watching!
Try some Remington jacketed hollow points in 158 grain in that pistol on i own the same gun it feels like those little rubber grips is ripping the Palm out of your hand the gun is gentle with Winchester white box 110 grain jacketed Hallow points though
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Those heavier bullets will definitely be felt in this little gun! I like using the lighter stuff for plinking but the self defense stuff is great if you ever need it. Thanks for watching!
Newly picked up a 605 .357 poly performance for only $250 due to the Cylinder taking some light pressure to open and was missing the fiber optic sight. But picked up quick strips and a kydex holster and small grip and fiber optic sight for under $50 on eBay. This is my backup ankle gun and short distance gun. .38 hornaday critical defense for now maybe .357 HP. You ever thought about using .357 and .38 in the same cylinder for a CCarry. Great video btw
Sounds like a pretty good deal. For carry, I think I'd just go with the .357s. I don't really see where mixing .38s and .357s has any benefit. It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
I cross my thumbs over the backstrap to mitigate recoil on small revolvers. Learned this when qualifying w/my off duty S&W J Frame in 1968 and employed it ever since. My EDC is a 340PD, which is a handfull even w/+P, and this really helps. I used a speedloader in a 1974 gunfight & it really saved my butt. Good shooting by the way.
Thanks! I trained with speed loaders many years ago and I really became a fan of them. I'll have to try the crossed thumbs technique some day. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
I found an older Charter Arms 357 snubby in a pawn shop today. The blueing is in beautiful condition, as are the blond-ish wood grips. Its got what looks like an adjustable rear sight and a plain front blade that would need some nail polish or paint. It has the exposed ejector rod. The price is good, but I didn't have with me the gun I would trade for it. Guess I'll cry if its not there when I can go again Friday.
I have missed out on deals because I wasn't prepared, It happens. I still haven't learned my lesson though. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Beautiful tool I have one blued very nice straight shooter keep up the good work also is there any way can you do a video on a model 65 please Taurus 4 inch barrel have a blessed day sir
I don't currently own a Model 65 but I have plans to pick one up some day, that's the last gun that my Dad and I did a little bonding with. A shoebox full of .38s and an old metal sign out in the back yard, more than 30 years ago.
I agree. And I would add The Taurus all steel 856 as well. It's a 38 +P and not .357 Mag but really, most people aren't going to want to shoot much .357 Mag out of these anyway because it's a handful. But the 856 gives you 6 shots instead of 5. Having said that, I have the 605 and love it. And yes, I carry +P+ 38 Special handloads because I might have to deploy this in confined spaces and the .357 Mag's muzzle blast is brutal - likely to cause your ear drums to detach which I personally do not want.... thanks for the vid!
It does not come in a bobbed hammer version you'll have to take it to a gunsmith and have it bobbed. I had mine bobbed and love it. Why do I like these Taurus 'revolvers better then my Smiths, Ruger's, and Colts , I don't know, I just love the smoothness of the Taurus revolvers. Thanks for sharing.
357 magnum shells stick when you have been shooting 38 specials. The longer 357 shells get stuck on the carbon ring from the 38 firings. You have to get a good brass brush and solvent and scrub each cylinder clean.
Nice Wheel gun Richard, I like Taurus, makes me wish I still had my Ruger Speed Six, 6shot .357 Magnum, W/3" Bull Barrel in S.S. it's a great Gun with many power options, .38spl.38 spl+P, .38 spl +P+ and .357 Magnum. I used Remington 125gr SJHP but it had Tremendous Muzzle Blast, It was like popping a flashbulb in you face! Thanks for for the video. 🇺🇸
I have one and it's pretty nice but I wouldn't recommend anything in a .357 for beginners. I guess the beginner could start with .38's in it and get comfortable with that first. That rubber grip bites after some serious shooting with .357 in it :)
That's the nice thing about this revolver, you can start with .38 and you won't need to buy another when you're ready to move up to .357. Thanks for watching!
Just had this revolver at the range on Friday, and yeah, the 357 mags pack a punch in this thing for sure... I had trouble with the speed loaders as well, being the cylinder is so close to the frame.
There are some speedloaders on Taurus' website that are made of aluminum and of a little different design, I think they may be a little better for this little revolver.
Interesting you recommend this for beginners. I have 9s and 22s, will soon get a 38 Charter Arms Off Duty, but I also yearn for a true one shot manstopper so I’m thinking of this. But I thought I’d ask, aren’t you losing a lot of 357’s true potential (I.e. ballistics, powder burn, etc) in these snubs, vs say 3 or 4 inches? I’m also thinking of 10 mm, but the g29 and g20 is pricier, bulkier, and it’s semi auto which could be a drawback. Thanks.
Shot placement has more to do with stopping power than caliber. Yes, the short barrels loose a lot of energy and velocity, but aid in comfort and concealability. There is no perfect firearm, you just have to weigh the benefits of each. Thanks for watching!
Off all my handguns, for some reason, this is my go to EDC. My S&W Combat Magnum, and my Kimber SIS Ultra have clique up and refuse to talk to me since this Brazilian beauty came on line.
I’m 62 and since I was old enough to hold a Gun. It may be a good beginner Gun but it’s my every day carry while in town. And I have a safe full of 🔫’s 🇺🇸✌🏽👍🏽🤙🏽😎
It has more weight than most 5 shot revolvers to make it comfortable with 38 special and 38 special plus p. It can handle 357 magnum but the recoil is a bit much on the hand tho.
Always wanted one of these... 🤔 Look like they'd be fun. I wouldn't mind picking up the 9mm version either, mainly bc I load SO much if it. Cool video, thanks for the review 👍
I'd really like to pick up a S&W 625JM, they're chambered in .45ACP. I don't load much .45 but that'd give me an excuse to! I may have to look into a 9mm revolver......hmmmm.
Great video on the next one for me. Nice holster, beautiful in fact but tell me why you left the trigger well exposed? I figure you’ve got a reason that I’m not aware of.
Thanks! I usually make Western holsters for single action revolvers and those triggers are left exposed. I also saw some photos of a leather holster that was old, worn out and the leather had pushed against the trigger when it was being re-holstered. That bit of leather that was supposed to be covering the trigger, ended up pushing the trigger and shooting the owner. The holster in the photos I saw, was for a semi auto pistol. A double action revolver is going to take much more pressure to work the action, I'm pretty sure an accidental discharge while holstering won't be a problem. Trigger finger discipline with a holster like this is a must. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Thanks you taught me something very valuable. We make holsters also but forgot how Cisco and others shoot so fast. It is best to not mold a holster to shape around the trigger. There should be clearance of the trigger itself as it covers the trigger well.
@@2greeksandacamera I'm not saying that what I'm doing it right or wrong, I'm just saying how I do it. Ultimately it's up to the user and the care they take in the use of their weapon and holster. I have heard and seen horror stories with all kinds of holsters and many times it was user error. I enjoy making them but almost never make them for sale.
I like to save a little money when I'm just out plinking at the range. You can bet that when I'm carrying, it's full of the good stuff. Thanks for watching!
Hey i am interested in this gun since i already have a 6 shot Rock Island spurless. I want a 5 shot that's not as high as a Smith and Wesson. Is this a good pick?
I know! Sometimes it just happens that way! The wife and I have been doing a little "Chuckin'" here in Ohio but I never seem to have a camera to film any of it. Thanks for watching!
I think a revolver is the best to carry no matter what I carry the colt cobra very accurate and I feel very comfortable with it in my pocket no firing pin block to worry about if it's going to work beating around in my pocket as I'm working
I thing age has a lot to do with it we grow up in the days of great movies and everyone had a revolver lol. But most of all our age lets us think passed the new fad crap that everyone has to have lol I got all them to but I just put my mind at ease with knowing it will go bang when I want it to
@@danthompson1467 Did you just call me "Old"??? LOL! I have some of the new stuff myself but there is a different feeling with a revolver and peace of mind is part of it!
I have two or three boxes of 38+ P the owners manual doesn’t say specifically to use this it just says 38 special but it should be OK what do you think this is a dumb question I know because it will shoot 357 but I didn’t just wanted your opinion on
If it's chambered in .357, it will handle the .38+P without any issues. The .38+P is somewhere in between a .38spcl and a .357mag. Thanks for watching!
As being a high power rifle shooter for several decades. If you want cut carbon fast try Kroil. But I suggest that you use outside and with gloves. The smell will make your wife unhappy.
Love this revolver. Have you tried the taurus model 65? Its my daily and I love it and believe you will too. Its just sad you can't find much about then on UA-cam
Many years ago, my Dad and I went through a shoebox full of .38spcl semi wadcutters with a Model 65. I remember the gun but I remember shooting with my Dad even better. Thanks for watching!
love mine. I carry Buffalo bore .357 tactical and then the fbi load 38 in my speed loader. I do this because it's a lot easier to reloader quickly the shorter 38s. only problem is Alien gear doesnt make a shell for it. It'd be awesome if anyone who reads this shoots them an email and requests it.
I just bought this as my first firearm. Mine is the black poly protector. Did I make a good choice? I hear people saying that poly isn't very good. I am very new to firearms.
I think you made a good choice, I'm looking at buying one of them myself. Shooting .357s in it may be a little rough just because of the lighter weight though.
@@bobbrock4221 yeah, a little harder kick. It might not be that bad either. Start out with some .38specials first, then when you're comfortable with it, move up to the .357s.
I picked up one the other day. Im thinking about pocket carrying it for this summer. I wanted to know if you had any problems with it since this video. Thanks !
Not a single issue, this is one of my favorite modern revolvers! There is a DAO version without the hammer spur, that may be a better choice for pocket carry. It's a little snappy with .357s in it, but it's a great little pistol. Enjoy and thanks for watching!
I love it. A terrible double-action trigger pull is a "safety feature"!!! I guess if it had no double-action at all, it would be extra, super-safe, huh?!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview No offense intended, but I have owned three, brand-new Taurus revolvers and "pretty good trigger" applied to NONE of them, not even close, nor to any Taurus revolver I have ever handled. And YOU are the person who called that heavy double-action trigger a "safety feature", so... REALLY??!! There is a reason that no one competes with Taurus DA revolvers, only S&Ws.
@@davemack7740 Well the data from a 2" and 4" barrel suggests that's not a problem -- if that even is a problem. Expansion is excellent and FPS is on-par with expected results.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview i probably will more than her. I've always wanted a 357. Would've preferred a heavier one with a longer barrel but she wanted something she can carry. She wanted a charter arms pink lady but i convinced her to get a 357 that way she has multi caliber options

Just picked up my first handgun a SS 856 .38, the 605 was taken off the roster recently in CA, so the 38 was my only option, so far I like it a lot & it feels great in my hand & affordable. I feel Taurus semi autos gets a lot of slack but the revolvers seems to be pretty solid...I might upgrade the grips and to lower power springs in the future
I've only had issues with one Taurus semi auto, the Spectrum, all of my others have been just fine. I hope to do a video on the Taurus 942 revolver in .22mag this weekend, I hope you'll be watching!
Why would California take the 605 off the roster? Why would they take something that was on the roster off? What is the logic?
@@Henry9459 ha, the logic is its California
I love the 605!
Me too! Thanks for watching!
I pocket carry my 605. My always gun.
They're pretty sweet little revolvers!
How well do they carry in front pocket?
@@beefcake6324 I carry mine in a sticky holster and I usually wear slightly baggy pants so it fits great. The holster protects the trigger and makes it look like a wallet in my front pocket.
@@beefcake6324 also slightly baggy pants makes it easier to draw if needed
It’s my favorite handgun besides my Glock 30 my first gun was a605 with the transfer bar safety and a heavy trigger I’ve never used a holster when pocket carrying as long as there’s nothing else in that pocket
Nice gun , i love mine and dont leave home without it
I'm a huge fan of revolvers, and the 605 is one of my favorites. Thanks for watching!
I always like your common sense, practical reviews. I really like your background in the videos.much better than someone's bedroom. Thank you.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
LOVE MY 605!!
I can understand why. Great little revolver. Thanks for watching!
Great review! Thanks for posting!
you make great videos ........... thanks for the time you put in
I appreciate that!
Great review and love your shed/bar! 🙏🏽
Thank you! Cheers!
I have a black version and love it. Much more accurate than you would expect. I think that's partly because of the stainless barrel sleeve construction. I have a Kydex IWB that allows the revolver to sit down into the pants well - the way I like.
I have always been a fan of revolvers. Glad to hear you like yours. Thanks for watching!
great review. the 605 carried appendix is my go to. it is backed up by various pistols depending on where i'm going.
Great choice in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
I just bought the 605 Poly-Defender with 2 inch, and 357 is almost too much of a handful for the light weight.
I also bought the 605 Defender in steel with 3 inch pipe. The extra weight is a huge bonus for controlling the 357 loads.
I'm thinking my girlfriend will end up with the Poly and I'll use the 3 inch, and run 38 in both for everyday carry, that way either of us can grab whichever is closest and use it well.
There are some crowds that find a wheelgun to be much less intimidating if they happen to see it. But we will still carry our Taurus 9's for most other applications.
Good review!
I was wanting to pick up a poly 605 but was thinking the same thing, there's just not much weight there to eat up any recoil. The .38's will definitely help. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
Wolff sells a Taurus Mod 85 spring kit that can really lighten up trigger pulls. I replaced the trigger spring and mainspring and that made a huge difference. I later went back to the factory mainspring as I think it probably would have led to some light primer strikes. I never did test it however. After the full mod, the DA pull was buttery smooth and very light. The SA was scary light but it broke like glass. Even with just the trigger spring upgrade, it makes a pretty noticeable difference in pull weight. I may go back to the lighter weight and try out my PDX 357MAG ammo to see if there are any problems.
It feels pretty smooth straight from the factory and I don't mind the heavy trigger pull but I'll bet the lighter trigger spring would be nice!
I’ve had mine for 3 or 4 years with absolutely no issues. I have carried it my truck, but now it’s a bedside gun. I didn’t want my wife to deal with a semiautomatic if something happens when I’m not home. I keep it loaded with Hornady Critical Defense. If someone breaks into our house it’s going to be a bad day for them.
Good choice if you ask me! Thanks for watching.
Just bought one. In the cooling off phase at my local FFL in CA. Can't wait to pick it up and take it out to the shooting range.
Well that's a bummer! Good little revolver though. Enjoy, be safe and thank you for watching!
I got one I enjoy it very much carry it a lot. With that said if you need parts or service it can take 6-12 months to get them. I sent mine in to get fixed on October and received it late March! Before any covid hit. I’ve talked to people who where waiting 14 plus months for just parts. I am a fan of the 605 however I will not buy another Taurus product. Customer service is horrible at best. Buy a smith or ruger
I know someone that sent a Spectrum back, it took several months as well. The new President of Taurus says he'll fix the customer service issues, I hope I never have to use it!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I had to have some work done on my 605. My local gunsmith warned me the parts were notoriously slow to get, but by some miracle, I had it back in three weeks.
@@8626John Maybe they're upping their customer service game!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I have heard rumor that Taurus subsidized with another company recently which is also subsidized by Smith&Wesson. Again just rumor no solid proof on my statement.
I own one and it is so comfortable to carry and the option of magnums is awsome
It shoots pretty dang good too! Thanks for watching!
love my 605 I use a Veridian grip on mine, the grip gives you more to hold on too as well as the laser.
It's a great size for a CCW and plenty of power with the .357mag. I'll bet the grips do help out. Thanks for watching!
Good review, you handled the recoil without whining like I have seen on other channels HAHA. This is in my queue for my next carry gun.
As long as it doesn't smack me in the head or break my wrists, I love recoil! I would not recommend one handing a 454 Casull revolver! I think you'll like the 605. Thanks for watching!
Superb review - learned a lot. Many thanks!
Many thanks for watching!
Bought an 85 for my wife years ago. Loved that revolver! Bought the 605 for my girlfriend and I love that even more!! The trigger was too heavy for her so I got a kit. Now its butter smooth. I know when I've got .357 in it, but it's manageable. Haven't tried the .38 plus P. Ill give it a go and see.....!
I have not shot an 85 but many years ago I ran a shoebox full of .38s through a 65, great shooting gun. I like the 605, it's a good shooter and easy to conceal too. The 942 is the same frame as the 605 but chambered in 22lr or .22mag with 8 round capacity. Thanks for watching!
Try some Remington jacketed hollow points in 158 grain in that pistol on i own the same gun it feels like those little rubber grips is ripping the Palm out of your hand the gun is gentle with Winchester white box 110 grain jacketed Hallow points though
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Those heavier bullets will definitely be felt in this little gun! I like using the lighter stuff for plinking but the self defense stuff is great if you ever need it. Thanks for watching!
Newly picked up a 605 .357 poly performance for only $250 due to the Cylinder taking some light pressure to open and was missing the fiber optic sight. But picked up quick strips and a kydex holster and small grip and fiber optic sight for under $50 on eBay. This is my backup ankle gun and short distance gun. .38 hornaday critical defense for now maybe .357 HP. You ever thought about using .357 and .38 in the same cylinder for a CCarry. Great video btw
Sounds like a pretty good deal. For carry, I think I'd just go with the .357s. I don't really see where mixing .38s and .357s has any benefit. It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
Finally, a man that knows how to shoot a wheel gun
.lol I use mine for a back up.. thanks
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching too!
I cross my thumbs over the backstrap to mitigate recoil on small revolvers. Learned this when qualifying w/my off duty S&W J Frame in 1968 and employed it ever since. My EDC is a 340PD, which is a handfull even w/+P, and this really helps. I used a speedloader in a 1974 gunfight & it really saved my butt. Good shooting by the way.
Thanks! I trained with speed loaders many years ago and I really became a fan of them. I'll have to try the crossed thumbs technique some day. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I have big hands too.
I found an older Charter Arms 357 snubby in a pawn shop today. The blueing is in beautiful condition, as are the blond-ish wood grips. Its got what looks like an adjustable rear sight and a plain front blade that would need some nail polish or paint. It has the exposed ejector rod. The price is good, but I didn't have with me the gun I would trade for it. Guess I'll cry if its not there when I can go again Friday.
I have missed out on deals because I wasn't prepared, It happens. I still haven't learned my lesson though. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Nice video. I bought the 605 because I did not want to blow $650 on a S&W Model 60.
Yep, big price difference between the two.
Beautiful tool I have one blued very nice straight shooter keep up the good work also is there any way can you do a video on a model 65 please Taurus 4 inch barrel have a blessed day sir
I don't currently own a Model 65 but I have plans to pick one up some day, that's the last gun that my Dad and I did a little bonding with. A shoebox full of .38s and an old metal sign out in the back yard, more than 30 years ago.
I agree. And I would add The Taurus all steel 856 as well. It's a 38 +P and not .357 Mag but really, most people aren't going to want to shoot much .357 Mag out of these anyway because it's a handful. But the 856 gives you 6 shots instead of 5. Having said that, I have the 605 and love it. And yes, I carry +P+ 38 Special handloads because I might have to deploy this in confined spaces and the .357 Mag's muzzle blast is brutal - likely to cause your ear drums to detach which I personally do not want.... thanks for the vid!
Yes. The short barrel doesn't give the powder much time to burn before being released into the wild. Thanks for watching!
It does not come in a bobbed hammer version you'll have to take it to a gunsmith and have it bobbed. I had mine bobbed and love it. Why do I like these Taurus 'revolvers better then my Smiths, Ruger's, and Colts , I don't know, I just love the smoothness of the Taurus revolvers. Thanks for sharing.
They now have the 650 revolver! I'm a huge fan of Taurus revolvers! Thanks for watching!
357 magnum shells stick when you have been shooting 38 specials. The longer 357 shells get stuck on the carbon ring from the 38 firings. You have to get a good brass brush and solvent and scrub each cylinder clean.
You are correct! Thanks for watching!
Nice Wheel gun Richard, I like Taurus, makes me wish I still had my Ruger Speed Six, 6shot .357 Magnum, W/3" Bull Barrel in S.S. it's a great Gun with many power options, .38spl.38 spl+P, .38 spl +P+ and .357 Magnum.
I used Remington 125gr SJHP but it had Tremendous Muzzle Blast, It was like popping a flashbulb in you face! Thanks for for the video. 🇺🇸
This one sends out quite a flame when using the .357s. They say "Wheel guns are real guns"! Thanks for watching!
I have one and it's pretty nice but I wouldn't recommend anything in a .357 for beginners. I guess the beginner could start with .38's in it and get comfortable with that first. That rubber grip bites after some serious shooting with .357 in it :)
That's the nice thing about this revolver, you can start with .38 and you won't need to buy another when you're ready to move up to .357. Thanks for watching!
Just had this revolver at the range on Friday, and yeah, the 357 mags pack a punch in this thing for sure... I had trouble with the speed loaders as well, being the cylinder is so close to the frame.
There are some speedloaders on Taurus' website that are made of aluminum and of a little different design, I think they may be a little better for this little revolver.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Awesome. Thank You for the Heads Up on that!
@@ValkerieSilk you're welcome!
Yep don't use speedloaders -- use speed strips. They are rubber strips that work perfectly. With a little practice they're very fast!
Interesting you recommend this for beginners. I have 9s and 22s, will soon get a 38 Charter Arms Off Duty, but I also yearn for a true one shot manstopper so I’m thinking of this. But I thought I’d ask, aren’t you losing a lot of 357’s true potential (I.e. ballistics, powder burn, etc) in these snubs, vs say 3 or 4 inches?
I’m also thinking of 10 mm, but the g29 and g20 is pricier, bulkier, and it’s semi auto which could be a drawback. Thanks.
Shot placement has more to do with stopping power than caliber. Yes, the short barrels loose a lot of energy and velocity, but aid in comfort and concealability. There is no perfect firearm, you just have to weigh the benefits of each. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I believe that makes sense, and is something to always keep in mind!
Off all my handguns, for some reason, this is my go to EDC. My S&W Combat Magnum, and my Kimber SIS Ultra have clique up and refuse to talk to me since this Brazilian beauty came on line.
Lol. I am a fan of the 605 myself. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for teasing us in Australia Richard , no only joking !!! Great review , thanks again.
Thank you for watching Shane!
You guys aren’t allowed to get 357 / 38s in Aus?
No , can't have hand guns
I’m 62 and since I was old enough to hold a Gun. It may be a good beginner Gun but it’s my every day carry while in town. And I have a safe full of 🔫’s 🇺🇸✌🏽👍🏽🤙🏽😎
I carry this one from time to time myself. Good quality, great shooting revolver. Thanks for watching!
The Speer Short Barrel ammo is made for this gun, either 38 +P or 357 Mag ............ you can't find a better round for a 2 inch revolver
It seemed to be pretty accurate with the range ammo I used, should be even better with a good quality defensive ammo. Thanks for watching!
Great video i have on myself and have found mine does extremely well with 38 +P. Also just fyi the charter arms holster works well.
Thanks for the info! I like making my own holsters, it's a fun hobby. Thanks for watching!
Love the vid keep up the good work . I have been looking into air powered rifles .22 and I think it would be a great item to add to the collection.
Thank you Sir!
It has more weight than most 5 shot revolvers to make it comfortable with 38 special and 38 special plus p. It can handle 357 magnum but the recoil is a bit much on the hand tho.
Yup, I agree! Thanks for watching!
Always wanted one of these... 🤔 Look like they'd be fun. I wouldn't mind picking up the 9mm version either, mainly bc I load SO much if it. Cool video, thanks for the review 👍
I'd really like to pick up a S&W 625JM, they're chambered in .45ACP. I don't load much .45 but that'd give me an excuse to! I may have to look into a 9mm revolver......hmmmm.
In DAO and with a 3" barrel I'd be a buyer and frequent carrier with two speed loaders.
I think it is available in that configuration, it may not be DAO but the hammer can be removed. Thanks for watching!
New one at shot show now optic ready.i think 3" barrel.
I never really cared for optics on a handgun but that could just be because I'm an old guy! Lol.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview that's exactly why I might like it im getting old and blind.lol. thanks for the video.
@Chris Rogers I know the feeling, I just hope my arms don't get any shorter! Lol.
Great video on the next one for me. Nice holster, beautiful in fact but tell me why you left the trigger well exposed? I figure you’ve got a reason that I’m not aware of.
Thanks! I usually make Western holsters for single action revolvers and those triggers are left exposed. I also saw some photos of a leather holster that was old, worn out and the leather had pushed against the trigger when it was being re-holstered. That bit of leather that was supposed to be covering the trigger, ended up pushing the trigger and shooting the owner. The holster in the photos I saw, was for a semi auto pistol. A double action revolver is going to take much more pressure to work the action, I'm pretty sure an accidental discharge while holstering won't be a problem. Trigger finger discipline with a holster like this is a must.
Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Thanks you taught me something very valuable. We make holsters also but forgot how Cisco and others shoot so fast. It is best to not mold a holster to shape around the trigger. There should be clearance of the trigger itself as it covers the trigger well.
@@2greeksandacamera I'm not saying that what I'm doing it right or wrong, I'm just saying how I do it. Ultimately it's up to the user and the care they take in the use of their weapon and holster. I have heard and seen horror stories with all kinds of holsters and many times it was user error. I enjoy making them but almost never make them for sale.
Love that little fella! Maybe I can try one at the gun range Batjac works at. Thanks!
I'll bet he gets to try out all the cool stuff! I know he owns some cool stuff too!
I have speed loader pouches, they r black leather with snaps to close. Real nice holds two . I'll send you one, I have two.
I plan on making a set of them and a video of doing it, when I get the chance. Thanks for the offer though, and thanks for watching too!
my carry conceal - love it . But I'm not parsimonious I always have 357 shells in mine
I like to save a little money when I'm just out plinking at the range. You can bet that when I'm carrying, it's full of the good stuff. Thanks for watching!
Hey i am interested in this gun since i already have a 6 shot Rock Island spurless. I want a 5 shot that's not as high as a Smith and Wesson. Is this a good pick?
I think it is. Thanks for watching!
Good gun, great video. Thanks for sharing. I own the same firearm and often carry it as (Bug)
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching too!
Who would've thought the best group would be with 357 ammo and shooting double action rapidly? Nice shooting
I know! Sometimes it just happens that way! The wife and I have been doing a little "Chuckin'" here in Ohio but I never seem to have a camera to film any of it. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Chuck Conners !
@@michaelsmith-rh4yt The Rifleman!
I think a revolver is the best to carry no matter what I carry the colt cobra very accurate and I feel very comfortable with it in my pocket no firing pin block to worry about if it's going to work beating around in my pocket as I'm working
There are those that completely disagree, I am NOT one of them. I like revolvers and not having to worry about accidental discharge is a huge plus!
I thing age has a lot to do with it we grow up in the days of great movies and everyone had a revolver lol. But most of all our age lets us think passed the new fad crap that everyone has to have lol I got all them to but I just put my mind at ease with knowing it will go bang when I want it to
@@danthompson1467 Did you just call me "Old"??? LOL! I have some of the new stuff myself but there is a different feeling with a revolver and peace of mind is part of it!
That’s such a cool shooting spot
Thank you! Thanks for watching too!
I have two or three boxes of 38+ P the owners manual doesn’t say specifically to use this it just says 38 special but it should be OK what do you think this is a dumb question I know because it will shoot 357 but I didn’t just wanted your opinion on
If it's chambered in .357, it will handle the .38+P without any issues. The .38+P is somewhere in between a .38spcl and a .357mag. Thanks for watching!
Excellent description
Thank you!
As being a high power rifle shooter for several decades. If you want cut carbon fast try Kroil. But I suggest that you use outside and with gloves. The smell will make your wife unhappy.
Thinking of getting into revolvers. I've been tossed up between this and rock islands revolver
I've looked at both, I liked the Taurus better. Thanks for watching

Thanks, I look forward to making more!
Love this revolver. Have you tried the taurus model 65? Its my daily and I love it and believe you will too. Its just sad you can't find much about then on UA-cam
Many years ago, my Dad and I went through a shoebox full of .38spcl semi wadcutters with a Model 65. I remember the gun but I remember shooting with my Dad even better. Thanks for watching!
I have one it's a good shoot
I agree!
love mine. I carry Buffalo bore .357 tactical and then the fbi load 38 in my speed loader. I do this because it's a lot easier to reloader quickly the shorter 38s. only problem is Alien gear doesnt make a shell for it. It'd be awesome if anyone who reads this shoots them an email and requests it.
There are tons of people out there that make kydex holsters, you might see if they can hook you up with one. Thanks for watching!

I just bought this as my first firearm. Mine is the black poly protector. Did I make a good choice? I hear people saying that poly isn't very good. I am very new to firearms.
I think you made a good choice, I'm looking at buying one of them myself. Shooting .357s in it may be a little rough just because of the lighter weight though.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview what do you mean by rough? A harder kick?
@@bobbrock4221 yeah, a little harder kick. It might not be that bad either. Start out with some .38specials first, then when you're comfortable with it, move up to the .357s.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview thank you for the advice.
@@bobbrock4221 You're very welcome, thank you for watching!
I picked up one the other day. Im thinking about pocket carrying it for this summer. I wanted to know if you had any problems with it since this video. Thanks !
Not a single issue, this is one of my favorite modern revolvers! There is a DAO version without the hammer spur, that may be a better choice for pocket carry. It's a little snappy with .357s in it, but it's a great little pistol. Enjoy and thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Good to know. Thank you sir
The double action on these are better than on my S&W & Ruger revolvers 🤷🏻♂️

Wondering when your next video is coming out. Hope all is well.
Everything is going great, just no time to film anything. A couple more weeks and things will be back to normal.....ish!
Good to listen too
Thank you!
I love it. A terrible double-action trigger pull is a "safety feature"!!! I guess if it had no double-action at all, it would be extra, super-safe, huh?!
It's a pretty good trigger and very similar to every other double action revolver ever made.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview No offense intended, but I have owned three, brand-new Taurus revolvers and "pretty good trigger" applied to NONE of them, not even close, nor to any Taurus revolver I have ever handled. And YOU are the person who called that heavy double-action trigger a "safety feature", so... REALLY??!! There is a reason that no one competes with Taurus DA revolvers, only S&Ws.

I have had good luck with the 135 grain gold dot hollow point at plus p with Unique powder. Excellent expansion and not too hard on the recoil.
For defensive carry I use Winchester PDX1 in 357MAG. It's nasty stuff.
@@cnick6 way to fast for a 2 inch revolver, the PDX1 357 Mag go's out at 1350 fps . . . 1/3 of your power never gets burned and the flash is wild
@@davemack7740 Well the data from a 2" and 4" barrel suggests that's not a problem -- if that even is a problem. Expansion is excellent and FPS is on-par with expected results.
