TAURUS 905 9mm 2″ 5rd Stainless Revolver

The TAURUS 905 9mm 2″ 5rd Stainless Revolver is the kind of wheelgun that makes you wonder why you didn’t pick one up sooner. Chambered in 9mm Luger with a 2-inch stainless barrel and a 5-round cylinder, this compact revolver is built around the Taurus Stellar/Moon clip system—so you can reload faster than a speedloader will ever let you. It’s a small-frame, discreet-carry piece that runs double-action or single-action, with a transfer bar safety and fixed sights. At $374.54, it’s a solid entry into the 9mm revolver world for collectors who want something that doesn’t follow the crowd.

Key Features

• Moon Clip Compatibility – Why it matters: Reloading a revolver in 2025 shouldn’t feel like a 1950s drill. The Taurus Stellar/Moon clip system lets you swap out all five rounds at once, cutting reload time dramatically. This is a game-changer for defensive use or range sessions where speed counts.
• 2-Inch Stainless Barrel – Why it matters: A 2-inch barrel keeps this revolver compact enough for pocket carry or an ankle holster, while stainless steel construction resists rust and wear. You get a reliable shooter that doesn’t need constant babying.
• Double/Single-Action Trigger – Why it matters: You have options—consistent, heavy double-action pulls for defensive snap shots, or a lighter single-action pull for precision work. It’s like having two triggers in one gun.
• Rubber Grips – Why it matters: 9mm in a small frame can bite. The rubber grips soak up recoil and keep your hand locked in place, even during fast follow-up shots. No slipping, no sting.
• Transfer Bar Safety – Why it matters: This internal safety prevents the gun from firing if dropped or if the hammer is struck unintentionally. It’s a non-negotiable for a carry piece, and Taurus includes it as standard.

Who It’s For

This revolver is for the collector who appreciates oddball calibers in a wheelgun format, and for the shooter who wants a 9mm revolver that doesn’t break the bank. If you’re into gun show finds, rare production runs, or just want a stainless snubby that feeds from moon clips, the Taurus 905 fits that niche. It’s also a solid choice for new revolver shooters who want to practice with affordable 9mm ammo instead of .38 Special or .357 Magnum.

Pros / Cons

• Pro: Moon clip reloads are faster than speedloaders, and 9mm is cheaper to shoot than .38 Special. The stainless finish holds up well in humid environments.
• Pro: Double-action trigger is smooth out of the box—no gunsmithing needed for a decent pull.
• Con: Fixed sights are basic and not adjustable. If you need precision windage or elevation adjustments, you’ll have to send it to a smith or swap the front sight post.

FAQ

Does the Taurus 905 require moon clips to function?

Yes, the cylinder is cut for Taurus Stellar/Moon clips. You can load individual rounds without clips, but they won’t headspace correctly and may not fire reliably. Always use moon clips for proper operation.

What is the trigger pull weight on the Taurus 905?

Per manufacturer specs, the double-action pull is approximately 12-13 pounds, and the single-action pull is around 4-5 pounds. These are typical for a production revolver in this class.

Can I use +P ammunition in the Taurus 905?

Taurus does not specifically recommend +P loads for the 905. Stick to standard-pressure 9mm for longevity. Occasional +P use won’t blow it up, but consistent use may accelerate wear on the cylinder and frame.

Is the Taurus 905 good for concealed carry?

Absolutely. The 2-inch barrel and compact frame make it easy to conceal in a pocket holster or IWB rig. The rubber grips help control recoil, and the transfer bar safety adds peace of mind when carrying.

Where is the Taurus 905 manufactured?

Taurus firearms are manufactured in Brazil and assembled in Bainbridge, Georgia, USA. The 905 follows that same production path.
