Taurus made a version of the 905 called the "Instant Backup", it had a shortened cylinder and frame. The problem is that it weighed 20+oz and was a Taurus.
It's actually a very nice revolver.
More powerful than the .38 Special +P, and softer shooting than the .357 magnum.
What did Taurus tell you when you sent it back to them?Except for the shorter frame and bobbed hammer, I wasn't impressed with mine. The fit sucked, cylinder would bind in the barrel making it very difficult to cycle the action. Great concept, poor execution.

Me too (as long as they got them working), it and the 547. Hell, even make a 647.wish S&W would reissue the 940 as part of their "Classic" series...
Why was it unshootable?I agree with one of the last posters, the Taurus 9 I bought was garbage, and delivered unshootable. From what I have seen, their QC is a joke. Dave
MovedWest said:Having a 9mm revolver doesn't make sense to me. The 9mm was designed for automatic actions. Why shove a square peg into a round hole? If you want a revolver, get a .357. You can get similar performance out of a .38spl+p in the .357. If you reload you can even get away with using the same dies.
Just my opinion.

No. I have a nice revolver (S&W model 65) which was my first firearm and used for home defense.would you buy a 9mm revolver?
Exactly what I was thinking. Some hot 9mm +p HST would really shine in a 13-15 oz pocket revolver and I would not need to stock 38 spec. I have a Blackhawk 9mm/357, and the 9mm makes for really cheap shooting. In the LCR it could go from paper punchers to hole blasters, kind of an all around setup with an extra 1/2 in. in barrel equivalent and a huge assortment of really low cost ammo.Absolutely. I wish Ruger would make the LCR in 9mm.
