This video presents a ballistic gel test comparing Federal 158gr Soft Point and CCI Blazer 158gr Jacketed Hollow Point ammunition fired from a 3-inch barrel Taurus 605 Defender. The test reveals significant differences in performance, particularly regarding expansion and penetration, with the Federal load achieving deep penetration with minimal expansion and the CCI Blazer JHP showing moderate expansion and less penetration. The presenter highlights the surprising effectiveness of both rounds from a short barrel, suggesting potential for even greater performance from longer barrels.

This review of the Taurus 605 Defender highlights its compact size, special Tungsten Cerakote finish, and Altamont wood grips. While aesthetically pleasing, the small grip contributes to significant recoil with full-power .357 Magnum loads, making it less comfortable for extended shooting sessions compared to larger revolvers or models with rubber grips. The reviewer notes the sights shoot slightly low and the trigger has some creep, but overall finds it a manageable option for concealed carry, especially with lighter .38 Special ammunition.

This video highlights five often overlooked revolvers, detailing their features and value. It covers the Taurus 605 Defender's optics-ready capability and .357 Magnum/.38 Special chambering, the Rossi RP 63's classic design and .357 Magnum/.38 Special chambering, the versatile Ruger SP101 available in multiple calibers, the affordable and reliable Charter Arms Undercover, and the powerful Smith & Wesson X-Frame Model 350 chambered in .350 Legend for hunting.
