Taurus M605 Capacity

The M605 is a 5 shot revolver chambered in 357 Magnum/38 Special. The cylinder lock is released by depressing the lock release located on the left side of the frame. The cylinder swings out to the left with the ejector rod for removing empty casings and reloading fresh cartridges.
The M605 uses a small frame and 5 round capacity to offer reliable concealed carry ability. The choice in barrel length will be a factor in carry style and holsters required for concealment with colder temperatures and added layers making concealment easier to attain.
