The Taurus 65 in matte stainless is a six-shot, medium-frame revolver chambered in .357 Magnum with a 4-inch barrel (Taurus part no. 2-650049). The frame, cylinder and barrel are stainless steel with a matte stainless finish, so the gun resists corrosion and shows little glare. Fixed sights and double/single-action lockwork keep the design straightforward for home defense, trail use or an uncomplicated range revolver. If you like the classic six-shot magnum layout, this Taurus model delivers it in stainless.

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 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and strength.
• The finish is matte stainless, a look that resists corrosion and wear.
• 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.
