The Taurus 66 revolver delivers reliable performance in both 357 Magnum and 38 Special +P chamberings, offering shooters maximum versatility in a single platform. This medium-frame revolver features a 7-shot cylinder capacity that exceeds most competitors' 6-round standard.
What Makes This Different
The Taurus 66 stands apart with its 7-round cylinder capacity, giving users an extra shot compared to traditional 6-shot revolvers in this class. The dual-caliber capability allows shooters to use economical 38 Special for practice and training, then switch to powerful 357 Magnum loads for serious applications. The transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge even if dropped with the hammer down, addressing a key concern with traditional revolvers.
