Taurus USA just introduced the 66 Combat, a new revolver designed from the ground up for defensive use. Medium frame revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum have long been regarded by experts as excellent choices for personal protection, and the 66 Combat features that make it a revolver you can rely on. The Taurus 66 Combat is based on Taurus’ successful model 66 revolver, which unlike other medium frame revolvers features a seven-shot .357 Magnum cylinder, giving shooters a 15 percent increase in capacity.

The Taurus 66 Combat was crafted with input from serious revolver shooters, trainers and end users.  The .357 Magnum chambering allows the 66 Combat to chamber a variety of rounds, from full-power magnum loads down to lightly-loaded 38 Special target rounds and everything in between. The high-visibility, fiber-optic front sight makes for fast target acquisition and aligns itself well with the squared-off, rear-sight channel for a crisp, yet fast, sight picture.

In addition to this, the 66 Combat comes drilled and tapped for the Taurus Optics Ready Option (T.O.R.O.) plates, sold separately on shoptaurus.com, so that owners can add optics to their pistol for even faster target acquisition and improved long range accuracy.

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 superior terminal ballistics, at a barrel length that improves the gun’s concealability by decreasing the overall length. The combat tuned trigger takes the already superior existing 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 rolling trigger pull.
