Taurus Deputy Dual Cylinder Single-Action Revolver

Taurus has added a new option to its single-action revolver lineup with the Taurus Deputy Dual Cylinder, a six-shot wheelgun that blends Old West styling with a more flexible ammunition setup. The new model is built around a 5.5-inch barrel, a polished finish, and classic visual cues that lean heavily into traditional single-action design.

What sets the Taurus Deputy Dual Cylinder apart is its included second cylinder. Chambered for .357 Magnum and shipped with an additional 9mm cylinder, the revolver can also fire .38 Special through its .357 Magnum chambering, giving shooters access to three commonly used handgun calibers in one platform.

The Taurus Deputy Dual Cylinder is clearly aimed at shooters who want the look and manual operation of a traditional single-action revolver without being locked into a single cartridge choice. That broader caliber compatibility could make it appealing for casual range use, trail carry, or for handgun owners who already stock 9mm and want an easier entry point into the single-action category.

Taurus is also leaning on the revolver’s period-correct styling to widen its appeal. Features such as the half-moon front sight and polished finish reinforce the Old West influence, while the transfer bar safety system brings the design in line with modern expectations for carry and handling.

Taurus also included a statement from Caleb Giddings, General Manager of Marketing: “The Deputy Dual Cylinder reflects our commitment to honoring traditional firearm design while offering practical features that today’s shooters value. The fact that the Deputy can accommodate the three most popular handgun calibers makes it a versatile choice, and makes it easier for shooters to get into the single action revolver game if they already keep 9mm on hand”.
