New Increased Capacity Compact Revolver

From the Taurus press release:

[Bainbridge, GA] – Taurus, the leading manufacturer of revolvers for the American gun owner, is proud to announce the release of the Taurus 817, a rugged and compact revolver chambered in .38 Special +P. With a 7-round capacity and all-stainless-steel construction, the 817 offers exceptional strength, performance, and reliability in a defensive carry platform.

The Taurus 817 features a compact grip frame and a 2 inch barrel, optimal for concealment. However, unlike most compact defensive revolvers, it features a 7 round capacity, offering serious CCW practitioners a serious upgrade over the competition.

Key Features of the Taurus 817:

7-Round Capacity in .38 Special +P:
The Taurus 817 offers an impressive 7-round cylinder—providing users with enhanced capacity over traditional 5-shot revolvers, all while maintaining a compact footprint.

All-Stainless-Steel Construction:
Engineered with durability in mind, the 817 features a matte stainless steel frame, cylinder, and barrel. This robust build is designed to withstand daily carry and extended use in demanding conditions.

DA/SA Trigger and Hammer-Fired System:
Shooters can enjoy the flexibility of a double-action/single-action trigger paired with a traditional exposed hammer for precise, confident shooting.

Compact Profile, Big Performance:
With an overall length of just 8 inches and a 2-inch barrel, the Taurus 817 is sized right for discreet carry without sacrificing shootability or control.

Removable Front Sight & Notch Rear Sight:
The front sight is removable and utilizes the same footprint as the existing Taurus 856, allowing end users immediate access to a wide variety of options for customization.

Rubber Grips – Interchangeable with Judge/Tracker Models:
Outfitted with soft, ergonomic rubber grips, the 817 ensures superior comfort and recoil control. These grips are also interchangeable with existing Taurus Judge and Tracker revolver grips.

The Taurus 817 is purpose-built for those who trust their lives to revolvers. With its increased capacity, rugged stainless build, and time-tested .38 Special +P chambering, the 817 is the revolver reimagined for today’s everyday carry needs.
