P pete2 New member Sep 28, 2012 #2 It's a Taurus, their QC is iffy, some good some bad. I'd buy something else. Ruger makes plastic revolvers.

D Dan-O New member Sep 28, 2012 #3 I have a 85, 651, and just bought a 617 a few weeks ago. I'm more than pleased with the ones I own. Also, the OP didn't specify if he was looking into the 605 Polymer....or the steel version. I'm guessing they're asking about the latter.

C chaim New member Sep 29, 2012 #4 I have or have had 5 Taurus handguns: a PT 140 Millennium Pro, an 82, a 605, an 85CH and the Rossi (owned by Taurus) 461. All have been terrific guns. If you want a .357mag snub, the Taurus 605 would be a good choice.

K Kreyzhorse New member Sep 29, 2012 #6 My Taurus M85 experiment did not go well. Taurus, from a customer service and quality stand point leave a lot to be desired. I'd look at Ruger.

S Stephanie B New member Sep 29, 2012 #8 I've had one for over a decade. It's been a good, solid gun for me. I keep it loaded with the old FBI load. Mine is all-steel and is reasonably comfortable to shoot. I shot a friend's LCR a few weeks ago and it was not fun.

L lee n. field New member Oct 2, 2012 #11 Mine's been good. You might want to read Jim March's experience with a dud 605. I'm uninterested in the plastic 605.
