Learn me something about the Taurus 605

That revolver is badly out of time, probably because the bolt is not rising early enough and/or lacks sufficient spring force to lock the cylinder.

the odd part was it didn't happen with 357. and only one chamber. I got rid of it.

firing pin would leave a dent on the head of the cartridge and part of primer. View attachment 1254220

Thats odd it will do that to a 38spl and not a 357mag …wow
That sucks

Thanks for the input. I had put my name on another gun and I figured if the Taurus was there tomorrow when I do the paperwork, I'll add the Taurus. The price does seem high compared to what they retail for new. And it has a spec of corrosion on the cylinder.

I may pass.

I have an old 606 and a new (er) 605 polymer protector. All .357 mag. Great shooters.

I admit to practicing with .38 special. For carry I load the 605 with Speer .357 mag designed for short barrels. Instead of +P it's kind of -P. More than .38 but doesn't seem to kick as hard as my other .357 mag rounds.

My local shop has a used one, blued in .357. Has a tiny speck of rust on the front of the cylinder. Price is not much over $300. I had put my name on another gun that I plan to pick up next week, and if the 605 is still there, I may add that to the paper work.

Never had a snub in .357 before, hence my intrigue.

Solid pistol? Wait for something else?

I had one. Sold it to a workmate and he said the firing pin broke off the first time he took it shooting. 🤣
