Owners of the Taurus 650 typically pick it as a pocket or backup revolver, and most find the hammerless profile genuinely useful for deep-concealment carry. The DAO trigger is heavy, which splits opinion: carry-focused owners appreciate the safety margin, while range shooters find the pull fatiguing over extended practice sessions.

The 2-inch barrel and .357 Magnum combination produces sharp recoil and significant muzzle blast, and several owners mention running it mostly with .38 Special +P for training. Full-house .357 loads are generally reserved for carry duty. The rubber grips help somewhat but do not eliminate the snap.

The 650 earns reasonable marks for reliability at its price point. Fit and finish get more mixed reviews compared to higher-end snub revolvers, and some owners note the factory trigger smooths out after a few hundred rounds of dry fire.
