The Taurus 692 Tracker is a double/single-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum with compatibility for both 9mm Luger and .38 Special +P. The 6.5-inch barrel and 7-round cylinder are the defining specs: longer than most carry revolvers, with one extra round compared to the standard 6-shot configuration.

The Taurus Tracker 692 draws favorable reviews with a few consistent criticisms.

The dual caliber capability is the most frequently cited positive, and owners treat it as a genuine practical advantage rather than a gimmick. The 6.5-inch barrel is praised for accuracy and for reducing felt recoil compared to shorter-barreled options. The matte black finish gets positive marks for outdoor use where glare reduction matters. Build quality is generally described as solid and reliable.

Weight is the main practical complaint. At 3.9 lbs the 692 Tracker is heavy for extended carry or long shooting sessions. The caliber-switching mechanism, while useful on paper, is described by some users as cumbersome in practice. Trigger pull runs heavier than preferred for a few owners, which affects rapid double-action strings. Cylinder timing and alignment issues surface occasionally in discussions about long-term use under heavy round counts.

Overall, the 692 Tracker is well-regarded for versatility and reliability, with weight and trigger pull as the primary factors owners weigh against alternatives.
