Taurus 66 Combat 357 Revolver

Some people say that revolvers are dead. Some people say that there’s no place for a revolver as a modern concealed carry gun. Those people are wrong.

[Bainbridge, GA] – Taurus USA is proud to introduce the Taurus 66 Combat, the ultimate modern fighting revolver! Medium frame revolvers chambered in 357 Magnum have long been regarded by experts as excellent choices for personal protection, and now the 66 Combat is the final word in fighting revolvers thanks to its incredible list of features:

7 shot capacity: The Taurus 66 Combat is based on Taurus’ successful model 66 revolver, which unlike other medium frame revolvers features a 7 shot 357 Magnum cylinder, giving shooters a 15% increase in capacity.

357 Magnum chambering: this allows the 66 Combat to chamber a variety of rounds, from full house 357 Magnums down to light target loaded 38 Special, and everything in between.

High visibility fiber optic front sight: the fiber optic front sight is perfect for fast target acquisition, and aligns well with the squared off rear sight channel for a crisp, yet fast, sight picture.

Optics-Ready: Additionally, the 66 Combat comes drilled and tapped for the Taurus Optics Ready Option plates, sold separately on www.ShopTaurus.com, so that owners can add optics to their pistol for even faster target acquisition and improved long range accuracy.

3-Inch Barrel: The 3-inch barrel selected for the Taurus 66 Combat balances two key elements, concealability and performance. 3 inches allows most 357 Magnum loads to generate sufficient velocity to achieve ideal terminal ballistics, while balancing the guns concealability by decreasing the overall length.

Combat Tuned Trigger: Saving the best for last is the Taurus 66 Combat’s trigger. This trigger takes the already excellent trigger on the Taurus medium frame revolvers and tunes it for double action only, eliminating the hammer spur for fast draw and creating a smooth-as-glass rolling trigger pull that delight any shooter.

The Taurus 66 Combat was crafted with input from serious revolver shooters, trainers, and end users. It is the definitive statement on what makes a revolver good and would be an excellent choice for concealed carry and home defense models, making it versatile and user-friendly for experienced and new users alike.
