What’s the ultimate fighting revolver for personal protection? It’s hard to beat a small frame .357 Magnum with a three-inch barrel. Now imagine that instead of being limited to iron sights, your .357 Magnum would accept a compact red dot sight.
You don’t have to imagine any more, with the launch of the Taurus 605 T.O.R.O., the first ever small frame .357 Magnum revolver that’s red dot ready. The new mount accepts optics that fit the Holosun K footprint.
The new 605 T.O.R.O. doesn’t lose any of the great features from the 605 Defender. It still uses all steel construction, the excellent trigger, and of course holds five shots of fight stopping .357 Magnum.

The 357 Magnum was introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1935 and initially chambered in their heavy-frame double-action revolver, the 357 was the first "magnum" handgun. Based on the 38 Special case lengthened to 1.29 inches, it was the world's most powerful handgun cartridge until the 44 Magnum. Offering considerably more power and penetration than the 38 Special, it was standard among many law enforcement agencies for decades. It is still widely manufactured in double- and single-action revolvers (and some rifles), available from virtually all revolver manufacturers; and all manufacturers of handgun ammunition offer a variety of 357 Magnum loads. It is a common choice for personal defense, and 357 revolvers have the advantage of handling less expensive and lighter-recoiling 38 Special loads for practice. As a hunting cartridge the 357 Magnum is probably the lightest cartridge that should be considered for deer-sized game. — Craig Boddington
