Taurus USA has introduced the Taurus 66 Combat, a 357 Magnum revolver featuring a 7-shot capacity and a 3-inch barrel, blending concealability with performance. Enhanced with high visibility fiber optic sights, a combat-tuned DAO trigger, and an optics-ready option, it positions itself as a modern fighting revolver.
Taurus states “Revolver experts widely regard a medium frame revolver with a compact grip, quality sights, and a 3 inch barrel as the finest fighting revolver ever. The Taurus 66 Combat takes that formula and improves on it in one key area: adding a 7th round.
The Taurus 66 Combat takes the proven and reliable Taurus 66, and gives it all the features of the perfect fighting gun. High quality fiber optic sights, a tuned combat DAO trigger, and a full length ejector rod. Chambered in 357 Magnum, the 66 Combat will also fire 38 Special, both standard pressure and +P rounds.
That’s not all. The Taurus 66 Combat brings the fighting revolver into the 21st Century with the Taurus Optics Ready Option. Each 66 Combat is drilled and tapped to accept an optics plate, which is sold separately in shoptaurus.com. This plate can host optics that utilize the Shield RMSC footprint.
This isn’t just another 357 Magnum. The Taurus 66 Combat is the ideal Modern Fighting Revolver.”
KEY FEATURES:
7 shot capacity: The Taurus 66 Combat is based on Taurus’ 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: this 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 perfect for fast 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 http://www.ShopTaurus.com, so that owners can 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 balances two key elements, concealability and performance. 3 inches allows most 357 Magnum loads to generate sufficient velocity to achieve ideal terminal ballistics, while balancing the guns 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 fast draw and creating a smooth-as-glass rolling trigger pull that delight any shooter.
