Taurus has just unveiled the Taurus 817, a new .38 Special snub-nose revolver with a 7-round cylinder.
What’s better than a 6-shooter in your belt? A 7-shooter. And that’s exactly what Taurus is now offering with the Taurus 817. If you enjoy snubbies for self-defense, this one is worth taking a look at.
The Taurus 817 features an all stainless steel construction and is rated for .38 Special +P, so it should eat up hot defensive loads without a problem. The 817’s 2-inch barrel helps keep things compact while its rubber grips help tame recoil. The grips are interchangeable with Taurus Judge and Tracker grips as well. Other features of the 7-shot revolver include its DA/SA trigger, exposed hammer, notch rear sight and a front sight that’s removable and interchangeable with Taurus 856 sights.
