Taurus Launches New 608 Competition Revolver
8-Shot Wheelgun That’s Built For Speed & Precision
Taurus has steadily been building up its revolver lines of late, most notably in its 608 series of medium-frame gems. Prior to this latest debut, the 8-shot 608, chambered in .357 Mag/.38 SPL +P was available with 6.5- and 4-inch variants which have both received high praise from the self-defense and trail-gun masses. Now there’s something competitive shooters can sink their paws into—the Taurus 608 Competition.
The Taurus 608 Competition, is Taurus’ first competition-ready revolver designed to perform straight out of the box. Built for competitive shooting enthusiasts, the Taurus 608 Competition delivers the precision and reliability needed for USPSA or ICORE revolver competitions without the need for aftermarket modifications.

Shooters can confidently make performance tweaks with ease while maintaining Taurus’ renowned lifetime warranty.
