The Taurus® Executive Grade 692: An ultra-dependable, performance-driven EDC revolver.

[@doublebrewski1855]

I own the "Essential" edition of the Taurus 692 and I will say it is a fantastic revolver. The double-action trigger pull is the smoothest out-of-the-box trigger of all the revolvers I own. The moon clips that come from the factory are okay, but I found better ones by TK Customs which are stamped steel and don't bend as easily. Plus, they're laser etched with the gun's model number so if you have multiple sets for different revolvers, you won't get them mixed up. I also recommend putting the Hogue rubber grips on this gun for a better shooting experience. I don't know if I'd necessarily shell out the cash for the executive grade model, but the standard 692 is a solid revolver for the price.

[@melios1967]

Picked one up for $790 fantastic shooter.

[@brianmarsh6592]

I hope Taurus is getting better. This was the only gun company that we had to send a revolver back for service that one and a half years later the customer still had not yet received the revolver back repaired or replaced. Never forgot this and will never get one no matter what

[@Predator42ID]

They have long since fixed that issue. I sent a gun back because a part broke, it came back fully fixed. Time from sending to fixing to getting it back took seven days. My other gun took longer as it was a brand-new model. After three months they just sent me a new one. Which according to their Customer service is now standard protocol. Customer service was always Taurus's biggest issue and I'm happy to say they have improved greatly.

[@jimtaylor8009]

I purchased a brand new tx22 with the manual safety. It would fire with the safety engaged. Taurus wanted 50 bucks shipping to fix the piece of crap. That was my 3rd and last time I will ever buy from Taurus. Absolute junk. 😡

[@Predator42ID]

@@jimtaylor8009 Did you go through an FFL? Also did you contact the company before sending your pistol back?

[@alanrawson-wg8io]

I’ll keep my 2 686s , thanks. The 9mm has the best revolver trigger I’ve ever used and the 357 is amazingly accurate.

[@GoodGuysCarry]

I have a Taurus 38 special and a Taurus 44 magnum, both work great.

[@roycesjourney37]

My dream guns is a Phillips and Rogers Medusa. A SW 19 milled for moon clips. There are some fragile points in the Medusa, and it’s made of unobtanium. This checks all the boxes. There are 380 moon clips. It’s a true scrounger gun. Would have been a great one to have in 2020

[@crushthequarter6863]

The 692 is a great revolver. So are the 617 and 817.

[@DanTheWolfman]

MY OG 692 has been great for 5 years & tons of videos fyi

[@buddysumner4022]

Im sitting here and reading some of the comments and it sounds like a bunch of teen age girls whining and bitching and complaining about something I bet most of them have never owned or shot,, grown ass men on here acting like little girls,

[@666toysoldier]

I did a cylinder switch on my Ruger Service-Six, from .38 Special to .357. It was almost as easy as this.

[@jeffdible8171]

Can you do 9x21 or 9x23 in the 9mm cylinder?

[@daveshrewsbury8872]

Nope, the 9mm cylinder is chambered for 9x19, you can shoot 9x19 without the moon clips but you have punch out the empties out with a cleaning rod.

[@ryanrawlins]

That is a sexy looking gun!

[@logangodofcandy]

I paid $550 otd for my standard model. Can't see a reason to "upgrade"

[@charlesjames5477]

We need a 692 jframe

[@TheFps12]

I want this but I also LOVE the finish on the 38sp version, it has a slightly different color to it. Torn.

[@PriapismSD]

Nothing screams "Executive" like a boy's size M laundered T shirt, Philippines bar night tattoos, and a Casio.

[@williamhervey6409]

What a bunch of whiners, jeez!

[@jasonkeating9958]

I thought that he was going to say that they have brought back the all titanium model in executive grade

[@peebreezy5015]

I like the new stuff from Taurus. Wish they would have sent me the email to get my extra magazines when they did their recent magazine promotion.

[@Shotshellslinger]

I had to pick up a 692 (non executive) just because I'm weird and love multi caliber firearms. Seen up to 5 caliber through this gun (safely) so far.

[@lynnjr457]

I've never had any major issues with Taurus, but $1000+ for one? Someone has lost their mind.

[@garym51124]

Been looking for a standard black 3inch 692 for a while....cant find any. No emails from people when back instock either

[@toddheimann8020]

Need more red dot ready revolvers, please.

[@BLegit2100]

Right after the echelon 4.0

[@jfrsnlg]

I love this idea of a multi caliber revolver that is also easily swappable cylinder. My only qualm about this design is the barrel ports. I think it will compromise the power. Revolvers are already compromised due to the cylinder gap. How much more if there are 8 ports on the barrel? Hope you can prove that this ports doesn’t affect ballistic performance.

[@logangodofcandy]

Tested and disproven. Maybe 10 fps or so. Makes no real difference

[@GoodGuysCarry]

You definitely won’t notice a difference at close controllable range.

[@personalradiofun526]

I had a Taurus 8 port 357 a long time ago. 357 flat shooting. 38 special it would push the barrel down.

[@kevinfelton689]

It's a decent pistol, and I use it for my off duty carry, but it does have quirks mostly when firing 9mm. The moon clips that come with it are garbage. They don't like going into the cylinder, and when they do, the cylinder has trouble rotating. I got some after-market ones, and that helps, but the problem is still there. Also, when I shoot 9mm, I get these semi-circle jacket shavings. I don't have this problem with .357 or .38, so I guess it's something with the 9mm cylinder. Still, it's a good gun with a nice look. Just carry it loaded with .357 and save the 9mm for the range.

[@logangodofcandy]

My gun doesn't have those issues. I usually don't shoot with them, because I prefer loose rounds

[@kevinfelton689]

@logangodofcandy well .357 and .38 are still loose. You only need the moon clips if you're firing the rimless 9mm.

[@lynch6642]

$1,100 ? 😂 Hell no

[@davidtate166]

Over priced you think.600$ would be more like it.🤔

[@stp9765]

Paid $830 for mine 🤷

[@rockystelone21]

That's steep

[@HenryJPB]

$600 at most.

[@stew1138]

[@ekklesialifeapplicationbib7352]

Magnum force 💪

[@beardedrancher]

Option without porting? Porting makes an already loud thing much louder to the user. Bad idea in close quarters.

[@ltx383]

If I have to use in close quarters my ears won’t matter if I’m dead. But if I survive… Whatttt!!! Whaaaatttt did you say!!?

[@teuton6167]

@beardedrancher there is a 2.5” barrel version with no porting.

[@russelsellick316]

Astra pioneered this idea decades ago. So it's not new albeit improved.

[@shootsouthpaw7771]

Bought my 1st Taurus revolver this year. A 692. Meh. Cylinder has some slop, inconsistent trigger and POI from chamber to chamber. But it's cheap so how can I get upset. A month later I got the 605 toro. 1st optic ready revolver! Epic failure. Sent it back & was replaced. Sent the replacement back & also replaced. 3rd attempt, 5 months later, and I finally got something "acceptable" and not potentially dangerous. Lifetime warranty is great but unless they work on their turnaround times and start offering a 30 or 60 day money back guarantee I won't be buying another Taurus. No QC to speak of from my experience.

[@cz75tactical9]

Need a 5" barrel option.

[@jasonashley4579]

I have an old Taurus 65 made in the late 70's, it's a good gun, my newer Taurus 65 has gone back for repair and it's still messed up, I'd never depend on it for self defense.

[@YacolJ]

I prefer the older Taurus 85 also. I just bought a Taurus 605. I made it a point to get the old style to match the old-school 85. Plus, the old-school Taurus revolvers work better. They've spent too much time on semiautos that they've forgotten how to make a good revolver.

[@jimmeli5200]

I have an early 80's 65. 1000's of rounds through it. Still shoots great.

[@YacolJ]

@@jasonashley4579 My 85 is a 2002. The 605 is a 2013. I've actually carried the 85 the whole time. Damn! 22 almost 23 years.

[@jasonashley4579]

​@YacolJ Look I've got Colts Smiths Rugers Astra even a Manurhin, that old Taurus 65 I own I've had for decades, it was made in 79, it's a good gun, about like my Smith model 13, I've shot countless rounds through it, 38 and 357, never had a problem with it and it's dead accurate, but the newer 65 I bought back in 2022 fell apart on me outta the box, I sent it back and the fixed it supposedly and it still doesn't work, no way would I depend on it for self defense, I'd rather have a flintlock musket in a rainstorm.

[@turdferguson2839]

Who's paying over $1k for a Taurus?!?! The only reason anybody buys a Taurus is because they cant afford a Colt and Smith and Wesson is all sold out.

[@dmaxvb]

No thanks. I love revolvers, but can’t get behind this. I’d trust a G3C over this in so many ways. Smith, Colt, Ruger and some other revolvers are just dead reliable. The Taurus revolvers I’ve owned were prone to malfunction. Except the old ones. Maybe someone will do a 500 round or so review and prove me wrong. Also, check the way grip sharp edges meet the web of your hand during .357 recoil. The fact they left those hard sharp edges, makes me think lack of attention to detail. Isn’t this the guy that said some crap about Paul Harrell a while ago?

[@MidWesternShootingEnthusiast]

Yes it’s the same guy. I left a comment yesterday and it mysteriously disappeared. Personally I wouldn’t buy a new Taurus since they are going into business with someone like him.

[@wheelguns4wheelmen802]

Good sales pitch. But like someone else mentioned, why did you wear a t-shirt and not a nice suit. You want to look like the CEO of a company if you are pushing the Executive Line.

[@aaronbuck7263]

Like to see Executive Grade 608 with 3" non-ported barrel and fixed sights.

[@jumarelrichie1127]

I wonder how accurate the gun is with 9mm ? Because the judge 410/45clt .the 45clt is way off And not accurate at all similar to 38spl not being as accurate as well. However 38+p is ok and more accurate and effective thoe.

[@garym51124]

My judge is pretty accurate out to 20yds with 45lc

[@bigrob3687]

Why the stupid moon clips? Charter Arms makes a 9mm revolver with spring loaded tabs on ejector star to hold 9mm round in cylinder chambers? moon clips are stupid and always will be. I have purchased 4 Taurus revolvers this year, but in the 9mm revolver game, Charter Arms has the best 9mm revolver in 2024 so i picked one up last week? So Caleb, I'm a big fan of you and Taurus, please recommend all future Taurus 9mm revolvers be built with similar load and ejection features of the Charter Arms Pit Bull 9mm 2.2" Stainless Steel Revolver? Thank You and your Welcome

[@CA.0verview]

Maybe that will be in the future models if consumers ask for it nicely .

[@autumnfragrance6326]

Patented

[@logangodofcandy]

Moonclips are great fast reloads. Anything else is actually inferior.

@@logangodofcandy ask them nicely if they can add that feature to future models .

[@nobodyhome8637]

Maybe I’m missing something? … but I have multiple pistols in multiple calibers I don’t see the point of going to the range and shoot 9mm with it then try and carry 38/357 and think that I am doing any good because if u don’t train with 38/357 (u can’t shoot range ammo and expect ur defense ammo in the same caliber and gun to shoot the same if u don’t practice with it also) ur carrying it is useless because it won’t be similar experience even out of the same gun l have shot multiple calibers back to back each one is different even just changing ammo brands with same specs will be different. I don’t shoot 9mm then shoot 38/357, 40, 45, etc and aim and hit in the same groups. Don’t get me wrong I do like this pistol. But u have to train with ur carry load. Just don’t agree with the advice to train with 9 because it is cheaper and then carry 38/357

[@teuton6167]

Maybe some folks just shoot it in 9 mm for fun and carry a different gun.
