The idea that revolvers are antiquated firearms is a demonstration of ignorance. The modern revolver still plays a vital role in EDC for personal protection. While some companies may pay lip service to this concept, Taurus has embraced it. As an example, they have now released the Taurus 650.

Experienced shooters and new revolver owners alike have been asking for the return of a shrouded hammer revolver designed for concealed carry, and Taurus has answered. The Taurus 650 offers a smooth, Double Action Only (DAO) trigger pull with an internal shrouded hammer, making it the ultimate choice for everyday carry and quick deployment in critical situations, even allowing the revolver to be fired from pocket concealment without fouling or jamming the action. The Taurus 650, a true shrouded hammer, 5-shot revolver chambered in the venerable .357 Magnum. This snubby joins Taurus’s industry-leading lineup of reliable and versatile small-frame revolvers.

The Snubby Lifestyle

“This is the ultimate expression of what my friend Darryl Bolke refers to as ‘the snubby lifestyle,” said Caleb Giddings, Manager of Marketing, Taurus USA. “Some people want a simple, reliable DAO revolver they can carry daily, and this gun perfectly answers that need.”

The 650 is built for serious everyday carry. It starts with a very durable steel or stainless frame, depending on the version. The DAO trigger offers a smooth and consistent pull, enhancing shooting precision and reliability in high-stress environments. The 650 also brings power to the party. Chambered in a .357 Magnum, it is an excellent personal defense round. It also offers some training benefits, such as its ability to run .38 Special.

Internal Shrouded Hammer

The gun really shines in its ease of carry. The internal shrouded hammer ensures a seamless draw from concealment, minimizing snags and enabling easy operation even from a pocket or bag. Lastly, the 650 has a unique front sight. The blade front sight is serrated to reduce glare and allow for quick accuracy in all lighting conditions. The front sight is also removable, allowing it to be swapped out to meet your personal preference.

All these individual aspects of the gun make it an excellent choice for everyday carry. The attention to detail takes the Taurus 650 to the next level. The revolver is still a real-world choice as a defensive weapon, and the Taurus 650 is one of the best in its class.
