Frequently Asked Questions
Taurus 905 9mm for sale
Is the Taurus 905 a good gun?
Whether it's good depends on your needs. Users report reliable performance for self-defense and concealed carry, with decent accuracy despite a heavy double-action trigger. Recoil is snappy given the small frame. Moon clips are required for 9mm extraction. At around $356, it offers solid value for carry and training.
How much does a Taurus 9mm revolver cost?
Taurus 9mm revolvers typically cost $320–$410 at retail. The Model 905, their primary 9mm revolver, has an MSRP of $389–$509. Prices vary by finish, barrel length, and retailer.
What are common problems with the Taurus 9mm?
Taurus 905 owners report occasional issues with moon clip retention and extraction. Some users experience heavy double-action trigger pull affecting accuracy. Cylinder timing can loosen with heavy use. Most problems are manageable with proper maintenance and quality ammunition. Overall reliability remains acceptable for the price point.
Does Taurus 905 use moon clips?
Yes, the Taurus 905 is factory-machined for moon clips, and Taurus includes five Stellar moon clips in the box. However, these factory clips are widely reported as flimsy, with rounds falling out. Aftermarket options from Ranch Products and TK Custom are more reliable alternatives.
What caliber is the Taurus 905?
The Taurus 905 is chambered in 9mm Luger. This small-frame revolver holds five rounds in a moon clip-fed cylinder, allowing shooters to use common 9mm ammunition rather than traditional revolver calibers like .38 Special.
What is the best 9mm ammo for a Taurus?
For a Taurus 9mm pistol, standard 9mm Luger ammunition works reliably. Federal American Eagle 115-grain FMJ is a solid range option. For self-defense, Hornady Critical Defense or Federal HST 124-grain JHP are dependable choices. Avoid steel-cased ammo, which can cause feeding issues in some Taurus models.
