SHOT Show New: Taurus 327 Defender T.O.R.O., Executive 357

Bainbridge, Georgia – February 2024– One of the most common complaints about small, snub-nosed revolvers is that the sights are often difficult to see. In 2023, Taurus USA solved this problem by introducing the Taurus Optics Ready Option (T.O.R.O.) revolver series. Now, the line has expanded to include the potent 327 Federal Magnum chambering, in the new 327 Defender T.O.R.O.

327 Federal Magnum delivers terminal ballistics on par with 357 Magnum, but revolvers in 327 Federal Magnum can hold an additional round over similarly sized 357 guns. This additional capacity, plus the ability to safely fire 32 H&R Magnum, 32 Long, and 32 S&W makes the 327 Defender T.O.R.O. an extremely versatile choice as a carry gun.

Caleb Giddings, the General Manager of Marketing for Taurus USA had this to say: “As a die-hard revolver enthusiast and 32 caliber aficionado, this is the coolest CCW revolver ever. 6 rounds, a small frame, a great trigger, optics ready, and it’s double action only like every proper fighting revolver should be. If I could design a perfect everyday carry revolver I can’t imagine how it would be any different than this.”

The 327 Defender T.O.R.O. joins the family of T.O.R.O. revolvers that includes the 856 T.O.R.O., 605 T.O.R.O., Judge, and Judge Magnum T.O.R.O. revolvers.

Based on the best-selling Taurus 605, a 5-shot compact frame 357 Magnum, the new 605 Executive Grade gives shooters the upgraded stopping power they’ve been asking for.

“The number 1 question we were asked when we launched the 856 Executive Grade in 2022 was from shooters that wanted a 357 Magnum, so we did exactly that,” said Caleb Giddings, Taurus USA’s General Manager of Marketing. “This new Executive Grade also brings along one of my favorite features from the Judge Executive Grade, specifically the brass-rod front sight.”

The 605 Executive Grade accepts the same speed loaders as other common 5-shot revolvers. Shooters can elect to use potent 357 Magnum ammunition or lighter-loaded 38 Special, including +P loads. The 605 Executive Grade’s polished finish and hand-tuned trigger make this gun as nice to look at as it is to shoot. Use it as a BBQ gun thanks to the presentation-grade wood grips, or tuck it in an IWB holster as your go-to CCW piece.
