The Taurus 605 T.O.R.O. earns generally positive marks as a practical compact revolver at a reasonable price.

Owners cite the compact size and light weight as the main practical advantages. The dual caliber capability -- both .38 Special +P and .357 Magnum -- is frequently noted as a meaningful feature that gives flexibility for carry and hunting loads. The trigger pull is generally described as smooth for a DA/SA revolver, and the 3-inch barrel is considered a good balance between accuracy and portability.

On the critical side, some owners have observed timing or cylinder lock-up issues after extended range use. The sights are also noted as adequate but not exceptional for longer distance shooting. Compared to semi-automatics, the 5-round capacity is a legitimate tradeoff for those used to magazine-fed pistols.

For practical use as a defensive revolver, the 605 T.O.R.O. holds up well.
