The Taurus 608 in .357 Magnum (brand part no. 2608049) is a large-frame double-action/single-action revolver built for high-capacity magnum shooting, feeding from an 8-round cylinder well beyond a typical six-shooter’s capacity. Taurus ports the 4-inch matte stainless steel barrel to help tame recoil and muzzle rise, pairs it with a rubber grip and a smooth trigger, and builds in the Taurus Security System alongside a transfer bar safety. Fixed front sights pair with adjustable rear sights for precise aiming. Among high-capacity revolvers in the revolvers category, the 608 favors shooters who want more rounds on tap than a standard-capacity .357 Magnum wheelgun.
