The Taurus 650 Small Frame revolver delivers serious stopping power in a compact package designed for concealed carry. This stainless steel revolver chambers both .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P cartridges, providing versatility for different shooting applications while maintaining the reliability of a traditional double-action design.
What Makes This Different
The 650's small frame construction reduces overall size and weight compared to medium-frame .357 revolvers without sacrificing structural integrity. The concealed hammer design eliminates snag points during draws from concealment while the transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge if dropped. Stainless steel construction throughout the barrel, cylinder, and frame provides superior corrosion resistance compared to blued alternatives.
Key Features
- Dual caliber capability: .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P compatibility
- 2-inch stainless steel barrel with fixed sights for quick target acquisition
- 5-shot cylinder capacity with simultaneous ejection
- Concealed hammer design eliminates snagging on clothing or holsters
- Transfer bar safety prevents firing unless trigger is fully depressed
- Black rubber grip provides secure hold and recoil absorption
- Small frame size optimized for concealed carry applications
Field performance demonstrates consistent accuracy at defensive distances with both caliber options. The .38 Special +P loads offer manageable recoil for extended practice sessions, while .357 Magnum cartridges deliver maximum stopping power when needed. The stainless steel finish resists corrosion in humid environments and coastal conditions. Double-action trigger operation allows for rapid follow-up shots without manual cocking.
