The interesting part: three calibers
The 692 isn’t simply one cylinder marked for three cartridges. It uses two cylinders:
- .357 Magnum / .38 Special +P cylinder
- 9mm Luger cylinder
Taurus designed the revolver so the cylinder can be changed to switch between the two systems. The 9mm cylinder uses Stellar clips (moon clips) because 9mm is a rimless cartridge, while .38 Special/.357 Magnum have a conventional revolver cartridge rim. Taurus states that two Stellar clips were supplied with the revolver.
Important: Don’t treat the interchangeable-cylinder feature as meaning any 9mm, .38, or .357 ammunition is automatically appropriate. The Taurus manual is the controlling source for ammunition compatibility and safe operation.
Why the 3-inch ported barrel?
The 3-inch barrel is the shorter version of the 692. Taurus specifically describes the porting as helping manage recoil and allowing faster sight recovery. The 3-inch model weighs about 35 oz., so it isn’t an ultralight revolver; its relatively substantial weight also contributes to recoil control.
Sights and controls
It has:
- Adjustable rear sight
- Fixed front sight
- Exposed/spurred hammer
- Double-action and single-action operation
- Ribber Grip designed to provide a secure grip
The adjustable rear sight is a useful feature compare with many fix-sight compact revolvers, particularly because the gun can be use with substantially different cartridges.
