Product Information & Specs
Seller Description For This Firearm
TAURUS 85, .38 SPL, 5 ROUNDS, 2.0 " BARREL. DA/SA, IN VERYGOOD CONDITION.
The Taurus Model 85 is a highly popular, compact 5-shot .38 Special revolver. Highly regarded for concealed carry, it measures roughly 6.5 inches overall with a 2-inch barrel. It is a reliable, affordable pocket-carry option, though traditional lightweight models can produce snappy recoil with +P rounds.
*****Expert Reviews & Community Consensus*****
**Affordability: The Alien Gear Holsters review highlights its exceptional value, noting it often retails for under $400, making it one of the most budget-friendly defensive revolvers on the market.
**Reliability: Community feedback indicates it functions well right out of the box with little to no maintenance. However, some users note that the factory double-action trigger pull can be gritty initially and benefits from a break-in period or polishing.
**Concealability: Because it shares similar dimensions with the Smith & Wesson J-frame, holster and accessory availability is excellent.
**Recoil Management: The factory rubber grips are praised for making the handgun controllable.
**Safety: The modern iterations utilize a transfer-bar safety system, allowing the revolver to be safely carried with all five chambers loaded.

Seller Q&A
WARNING
Why Buy from Guns.com?
PEACE OF MIND
Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
