I purchased a Taurus 605 .357 magnum (blued) Saturday and when I got it home and took it out of the box I noticed I could rotate the cylinder with it closed, needless to say I was disappointed but not mad. I have purchased many new guns in the past that were not Taurus’s and had a issue or two with one so I wasn't that upset. I called the Fin Feather Fur where I purchased it and they said I could bring it back and they will handle sending back to Taurus since I just purchased it or I could exchange it. Well of course I didn't want to wait and luck having it they were out of the blued version so I jumped off of $40.00 more bucks and got the SS which I really wanted anyways but was trying to save a few bucks. I am letting people know this because no matter what brand of firearm you purchase there is always a small chance that something could be wrong with it and it is no reason to bash or think little of that company. Gun manufacturers are usually really good about backing up their products. Done with that now let’s get to the good stuff!
Besides the Judge SS 3” Magnum (which I really love) this is my only other revolver. I always wanted to try carrying a revolver so I thought this was a good time to get one because I fear prices may be rising on guns and ammo but I really have no clue if that’s true. But hey; why risk it right! Any ways that’s what I told my wife and she bought into it so it’s all good there.
I took it to my son’s house and only got to run 10 rounds of.357 Blazer Brass 158 grain through it due to rain. But wow!!! I love this little 2”cannon!!! First shot (you see the round in the picture below) was at 15’ and shot through ½ inch plywood and went pretty deep into the ground behind it, I didn’t measure it and my son dug it up so I can’t say for sure of the penetration. I was 2” away from the bull’s-eye so I am really happy with it. I was also impressed with the expansion of the round as well. This is my 3rd Taurus. I had no issues with the recoil; it doesn’t fly up and want to hit you in the face which is great, it seems to just push backwards and a little up which I really like. (I hope that made sense) Well balanced in that area. I love everything about this little jewel even the price. Only thing I did notice is the seam on the grip where my middle finger rubs against it right behind the trigger guard there is a little lip that irritates my finger. I am sure I can find something to smooth it out without scratching up the grip. (Suggestions are welcome) I want to get some .38’s to run through it the next time I go to the range and I will post further on it after that. All in all I am very happy with it. Life is good.
You will notice rounds in the cylinder, they are spent casings to enhance the picture.
