With the growing popularity of small-frame revolvers for personal defense, Taurus—a leader in revolver innovation—proudly reintroduces the Taurus 650, a true shrouded hammer, 5-shot revolver chambered in the venerable .357 Magnum. This expertly engineered revolver joins Taurus's industry-leading lineup of reliable and versatile small-frame firearms, answering the call for a compact, snag-free defensive option.

Designed for Concealment and Reliability

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 fire from pocket concealment without fouling or jamming the action.

"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 every day, and this gun answers that need perfectly."

The Taurus 650 is compatible with a variety of existing 5-shot speed loaders and holsters for similar .357 Magnum models, making it versatile and user-friendly for both experienced shooters and new users alike.
