The Taurus 65 in matte black oxide is a six-shot, medium-frame .357 Magnum with a 4-inch barrel and fixed sights (Taurus part no. 2-650041). Alloy steel construction and a matte black oxide finish give it a no-glare, working-gun look, while the double/single-action lockwork covers both quick double-action shooting and deliberate single-action shots. The simple fixed sights stay put, so there is nothing to knock out of adjustment. It is an honest, uncomplicated revolver for the nightstand, the truck or the range, from a long-running Taurus design.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is .357 Magnum / .38 Special +P, so it can run full-power magnum loads or lighter .38 Special rounds for practice.
• The barrel measures 4 inches, a classic length that balances sight radius with handling.
• Capacity is 6 rounds, a full cylinder for its frame size.
• The action is double/single action, so you can fire quickly in double action or cock the hammer for a precise single-action shot.
• The front sight is a fixed front sight, which is easy to pick up against a target.
• The rear sight is a fixed rear sight, which stays put without needing adjustment.
• Frame and cylinder are alloy steel for a rugged build that handles hard use.
• The finish is matte black oxide, which keeps glare down.
• Taurus lists a transfer bar as the safety mechanism, an internal design that keeps the hammer from striking unless the trigger is pulled.
• Unloaded weight is 38 ounces, which sets how it carries and how it handles recoil.
