The Taurus brand was founded in 1939, turning out their first gun 2 years later. So much time has passed since then, but the quality still remains the same.
In Sin City, Wendy packs a stainless Taurus Model 85 in .38 spl throughout the film, firing it several times at Marv, and nearly kills Kevin with it before Marv knocks her out. Parole officer of Marv Lucille also packs a Taurus Model 85.
It is an excellent firearm, and an excellent value in a .357 magnum revolver. Extremely accurate, great trigger pull, never a single issue, excellent balance, comfortable handle – This is the Taurus in a few words. Designed with a polymer frame, the Taurus M605 .357 Magnum Revolver features a 2-inch barrel and a leather poly grip as well, which makes it easier to hold onto it.
