The Taurus 608 in .357 Magnum (MPN 2-608069) is a large-frame revolver built to hold 8 rounds of .357 Magnum or .38 Special +P ammunition, well above a standard six-shooter’s capacity. Taurus hammer-forges the frame for increased durability and accuracy, wraps it in a soft rubber grip for comfort under recoil, and finishes the 6.5-inch barrel and cylinder in stainless steel. The revolver carries a fixed front sight paired with an adjustable rear sight and cycles through a single/double-action trigger with a spurred hammer. Among large-frame magnum revolvers in the revolvers category, the 608 favors shooters who want extra on-hand capacity in a .357 Magnum wheelgun.
