Taurus 608 | .357 Mag | 4″ Ported | 8rd | 2-608049

The Taurus 608 is a large-frame, hammer-fired revolver designed around an eight-shot cylinder for .357 Magnum (and .38 Special +P) cartridges. It uses a double-action/single-action firing system, a matte stainless finish on barrel, cylinder and frame, and a 4.00″ ported barrel to aid controllability. The revolver ships with soft rubber grips and a transfer-bar safety for a familiar balance of handling and everyday carry durability.

Typical applications include precision-range/target shooting and outdoor hunting where a compact, robust wheelgun is preferred. The model’s combination of an exposed hammer, adjustable rear sight and an 8-round cylinder makes it suitable for range work and field use.
