December, 2011…Miami, FL – Taurus®, a leader in the innovation and manufacturing of firearms, announces the availability of their new 405 Revolver and 445 Ultra-Lite Revolver.

The 405, Taurus’ first revolver chambered in .40 S&W, features a lightweight frame that weighs just 29 ounces. Included with the 405 Revolver are stellar clips for quick and easy loading and unloading.

The new 445 Ultra-Lite answers the call for a revolver in the popular .44 Special round. The 445 features an Ultra-Lite frame that weighs only 22 ounces.
