Frequently Asked Questions
Taurus Public Defender Stainless for sale
What model is a Taurus Public Defender?
The Taurus Public Defender is a small-frame, five-shot revolver chambered in both .45 Colt and .410 bore shotshell. It is based on Taurus' small-frame Model 85, adapted to handle both cartridges, and operates in double-action/single-action configuration.
Can I look up my gun model by serial number?
Yes. Most manufacturers maintain serial number databases on their websites. Enter your serial number without spaces or dashes to search. Sites like Blue Book of Gun Values also cross-reference serials to determine manufacture year. Results may be approximate; contact the manufacturer directly for definitive documentation.
What's the difference between a Taurus Judge and a Taurus public defender?
Both are revolvers chambered for .45 Colt and .410 bore shotshells. The Judge is full-sized with a larger frame and grip. The Public Defender is a compact, lighter variant designed for concealed carry. Both share double-action operation and the same dual-caliber capability.
Are Taurus revolvers junk?
Taurus revolvers are generally considered reliable and accurate. Their semi-autos receive more criticism. Models like the 82 and 605 perform well. Customer service can be inconsistent. At around $420, they offer reasonable value compared to competitors in that price range.
