Notes
The Taurus 905 ships with several moon clips. Moon clips are thin metal pieces that the five 9mm rounds snap into, allowing all rounds to be loaded simultaneously like a speed loader. The clips can be loaded and unloaded by hand with no tools required. The 905 uses the same small-frame design as the Model 85 series but with a cylinder specifically dimensioned for 9mm Parabellum.
Background
Taurus's revolver manufacturing expertise traces back to their acquisition of the Smith & Wesson factory in Brazil, giving them access to decades of refined revolver-building knowledge that continues to influence their designs today.
