Condition Notes (Used with Wear)
Small Dots on Trigger and Barrel:
These are likely surface oxidation spots or light pitting—tiny brown or grey dots caused by moisture or lack of oiling.
Most common on uncoated steel parts like the trigger face and along the sides or underside of the barrel.
Burns on the Cylinder:
Dark burn rings or carbon fouling are visible on the front face of the cylinder and around chamber mouths.
These marks are typical from firing and are usually cosmetic—a result of carbon buildup from magnum loads.
Some of the discoloration can be cleaned off; deeper staining may remain.
General Wear:
Finish may be slightly dull or scratched on high-contact areas (edges of frame, barrel, underlug)
Rear sight and hammer may show minor scuffing from handling or holster use
Functionality:
The Taurus 689 is known for its solid lock-up and robust mechanics. Despite external wear, if:
The timing is correct
The cylinder rotates and locks tightly
The trigger pull feels consistent
…then it likely remains mechanically reliable and accurate.
Special Notes About the Model 689:
Known for its vented barrel rib, giving it a distinctive look similar to the S&W 686.
Has a strong following due to its build quality from Taurus’s earlier production years (1980s–90s).
Overall Impression:
This Taurus 689 shows moderate cosmetic wear, but remains a classic, heavy-duty .357 Magnum revolver. Ideal for:
A shooter-grade range or home defense gun
A collector interested in vintage Taurus models
Someone comfortable doing light cosmetic cleaning
