In response to the increasing popularity of small-frame revolvers, Taurus has re-released the Taurus 650, a shrouded hammer revolver chambered in .357 Magnum.
This 5-shot revolver, designed with concealed carry in mind, now joins Taurus’s existing lineup of compact defensive firearms.
Focused on Concealment
The Taurus 650 is a Double Action Only (DAO) revolver that offers an internal shrouded hammer, minimizing the risk of snagging when drawing from concealment.
Caleb Giddings, Taurus USA’s Manager of Marketing, notes, “This is the ultimate expression of what my friend Darryl Bolke refers to as ‘the snubby lifestyle.’ Some people want a simple, reliable DAO revolver they can carry every day, and this gun answers that need perfectly.”
The Taurus 650 is compatible with 5-shot speed loaders and holsters designed for other .357 Magnum models. Those looking for compatible accessories can find more options at shoptaurus.com/taurus-650.
