Bainbridge, GA – Taurus has reintroduced a revolver that pays homage to classic designs while incorporating the latest in personal defense technology: the Taurus 650. A shrouded hammer, double-action-only (DAO) revolver, the Taurus 650 combines ease of use, reliability, and compatibility with .357 Magnum and .38 Special rounds to meet the demands of concealed carriers looking for a simple yet effective firearm option.
Built for Concealment and Reliability
Designed with the needs of everyday carriers in mind, the Taurus 650 brings back the classic snub-nosed revolver with a shrouded hammer for snag-free concealment. The internal shroud allows for smooth draws from pockets or holsters, making it suitable for situations that call for quick deployment. With a Double Action Only (DAO) trigger, it ensures a consistent and smooth pull—ideal for the high-stress moments where reliability matters most.
Caleb Giddings, Marketing Manager at Taurus USA, shares that the Taurus 650 embodies what his friend Darryl Bolke describes as “the snubby lifestyle”—an approach where simplicity and reliability in everyday carry come first. “Some people want a simple, reliable DAO revolver they can carry every day, and this gun answers that need perfectly,” Giddings stated.
