Late 90's Vintage Taurus Model 605 Custom .357 Magnum Stainless Steel Revolver w/ Box, Etc.
** Discontinued Factory Ported Barrel Model **
Description: This is a very lightly-used Taurus Model 605 Custom .357 Magnum stainless steel revolver in excellent condition and complete with the original box and paperwork, etc. This Model 605 Custom has a factory ported 2.25" inch barrel with 4 ports that run almost the entire length of the barrel to substantially reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip. First introduced in 1995, the Taurus Model 605 is a small frame/ round butt all-steel DA/SA revolver designed for self-defense/concealed carry. The Model 605 features a blued, matte black, or stainless finish, a 2", 2.25", or 3" inch full-underlug barrel, a 5-shot fluted cylinder, fixed iron sights, and an oversized black rubber finger-groove grip. The Model 605 proved to be a very good yet affordable revolver that was well-made, accurate, and extremely reliable in any one of the configurations. In the 2000's Taurus introduced several variations of the 605 with lighter-weight alloy and polymer construction that remain in production today. This particular example was manufactured in the late 1990's and as mentioned earlier, is a 605 "Custom" model with the ported barrel which was discontinued 18 years ago in 2003. This Taurus is in excellent condition inside and out, and is in perfect working order. If it has had more than 10 or 15 rounds fired thru it we would be extremely surprised. The stainless steel is still extremely clean and bright, free from any staining, pitting, dents, scratches, or major handling marks. All of the factory markings are crisp and clear, and all of the visible screws have clean unmarred slots. The bore in the 2.25" inch ported barrel is pristine and mirror-bright. The rifling still shows sharp lands and grooves, free from any visible erosion, pitting, or imperfections of any kind. The 4 factory ports are in perfect shape. The 5 chambers in the cylinder are equally as pristine as the barrel with no visible imperfections. The metal alloy hammer and trigger look like-new and show no stains or wear whatsoever, and the checkering on the hammer spur and cylinder release is still crisp and like-new. The factory black rubber finger groove grip on this Taurus is in perfect condition, free from any visible wear, tears, chunking, or damage of any kind. There is no doubt that this stainless steel Taurus 605 Custom revolver will function just as well today as the day it left the factory. The action is smooth, precise, and in perfect time no matter how the revolver is operated. All of the controls are in perfect working order. As mentioned earlier this Taurus comes complete with it's original plastic box with the original factory serial-numbered end-label still intact, the owner's manual, the warranty card (not filled out), and even the original plastic shipping bag. If you have been looking for an affordable yet well-made and reliable compact .357 Magnum revolver for self/home defense this stainless steel Taurus 605 Custom would be a superb choice. You would be very hard-pressed to find a nicer example of the Model 605 Custom than this one, and the greatly reduced recoil from the ported barrel would really make practice shooting a lot easier on your hands (make sure you wear ear protection as this revolver will be LOUD!).
