Guns Listing ID: 502356
The Taurus Model 85 is a compact, double-action/single-action (DA/SA) revolver chambered in .38 Special, designed primarily for self-defense and concealed carry. Here’s a breakdown of the 3-inch barrel version:
Key Features:
Frame & Finish: Made from stainless steel, blued steel, or lightweight aluminum (depending on the variant). The frame is compact yet sturdy.
Barrel: The 3-inch barrel provides a balance between accuracy and concealability, offering slightly better velocity and control compared to the more common 2-inch snub-nose version.
Grip: Usually fitted with rubber grips for better recoil control and comfort. Some models may have wooden grips.
Sights: Fixed front blade sight and notch rear sight, typical of small defensive revolvers.
Action: Double-action/single-action (DA/SA), allowing for both quick defensive shooting and more precise single-action fire. Some models are DAO (double-action only) with a bobbed hammer for smoother carry.
Cylinder: Five-shot capacity, chambered in .38 Special, with many models rated for +P ammunition for increased stopping power.
Weight: Depending on the material, weight ranges from 17 to 25 ounces, making it light enough for carry but solid enough for good recoil management.
The Taurus Model 85 has been a reliable and affordable choice for personal defense since its introduction in the 1980s. The 3-inch barrel variant is less common than the snub-nose version but offers improved accuracy and handling, making it a great option for home defense or open carry.
