The Taurus Model 608 is a robust, large-frame double-action revolver, with a cylinder capacity of 8 rounds of .357 magnum. To tame recoil from magnum loads, the Model 608 comes with a factory ported barrel and a non-slip rubber grip. All stainless steel construction necessitates minimal maintenance. A fully adjustable rear sight allows you to dial in any load from .38 Special to .357 magnum hunting rounds with precision accuracy. The Model 608 Double-Action Revolver utilizes the Taurus Security System (TSS), enabling you to disable the weapon completely with the turn of a key. A transfer bar mechanism prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled fully to the rear.
