The Taurus 605 in matte stainless (Taurus part no. 2-605029) is a five-shot .357 Magnum snub for concealed carry and home defense. It also fires .38 Special +P, so practice does not have to be punishing. The stainless frame, cylinder and barrel resist moisture, which matters for a gun that spends time against the body. A 2-inch barrel, fixed sights and a soft rubber grip keep it compact and simple to run.
