7 Shot Capacity 

The Taurus 66 Combat is based on Taurus’s 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

Being chambered in .357 Magnum 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 ideal for rapid 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 the Taurus website, allowing owners to 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 strikes a balance between two key elements: concealability and performance. Three inches allows most 357 Magnum loads to generate sufficient velocity to achieve ideal terminal ballistics, while balancing the gun’s 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 a fast draw and creating a smooth-as-glass rolling trigger pull that delights any shooter.

Taurus 66 Combat 357 Revolver

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