Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Taurus Model 65 is a full-sized, double-action/single-action revolver introduced in the 1970s by Taurus. Designed as a durable, cost-effective service sidearm, the Model 65 was inspired by the proven Smith & Wesson K-frame revolvers of the mid-20th century. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it also accepts .38 Special ammunition, offering flexibility for training and defense. Built on a medium-size frame, the Model 65 features a six-round cylinder, a 4-inch barrel, and fixed sights—a ramped front blade paired with a notched rear sight milled directly into the top strap—for simple, rugged use in the field. Taurus made the Model 65 in either a blue finish or a matte stainless steel finish.

Taurus made the Model 65 in either a blue finish or a matte stainless steel finish.
Designed to resist corrosion and wear in humid or coastal environments, the stainless steel model retained the mechanical design and dimensions of the blue finish model; however, it offered the practical appeal of a stainless finish. This version became especially popular with private security, law enforcement, and civilian shooters seeking a reliable, low-maintenance revolver for duty or home defense. Unlike some earlier Taurus models, the model 65 was offered with either Hogue-style molded rubber grips or Taurus-branded soft rubber combat grips, both providing excellent control and recoil management under heavy use.
Mechanically, it employed a transfer bar safety system, ensuring the revolver would not discharge unless the trigger was fully pulled—an essential safety feature for carry and duty use. Praised for its simplicity, reliability, and affordability, the Model 65 remains a trusted choice for revolver enthusiasts who want the performance of a .357 Magnum in a classic, easy-to-maintain package.
