The Taurus Deputy with a 5.5-inch barrel is a single-action revolver chambered in .357 Mag that also accepts .38 Special. It holds six rounds, with a wood grip, an exposed hammer and a blue and black finish. The exposed hammer is part of the traditional layout. The overall length is 11.1 inches and the revolver has standard sights and a transfer-bar safety.

The single-action trigger and exposed hammer give a traditional handling feel, which suits range practice, Western-style shooting and field use. The transfer-bar safety is designed to help prevent discharge if the revolver is dropped. The .357 Mag chambering also accepts .38 Special, which widens the ammunition choice, and the model is sold new. The wood grip and six-round cylinder keep the configuration simple.
