Taurus 692 Tau 2692Ex39 Exec 357/9Mm 3 7R Ss

The Taurus 692 Executive is a dual-cylinder revolver built for shooters who refuse to compromise on versatility or firepower. This 3-inch stainless steel revolver chambers both .357 Magnum and 9mm ammunition through its innovative interchangeable cylinder system—a straightforward feature that makes it practical for range days, home defense, or the hunter who wants caliber flexibility without buying a second gun. With seven rounds of capacity per cylinder and a polished stainless finish, it's equally at home on the nightstand or in a serious shooter's collection.

The 692 Executive balances practical utility with genuine refinement. Its hand-tuned trigger breaks cleanly in both double-action and single-action modes, supporting repeatable shot placement whether you're working precision drills or moving fast. The ported barrel manages recoil—especially useful when running hot .357 loads through a compact package—while the fixed brass-insert front sight and adjustable rear sight let you dial in your zero quickly. An extended ejector rod handles faster reloads, and the transfer bar safety adds a layer of security you won't have to think about.

At 35 ounces and 8.14 inches overall, the 692 rides the line between handling ease and heft; stainless steel construction promises durability in wet conditions or years of carry. Two cylinders are included so you can keep one loaded and ready in each caliber. This revolver rewards precision: six-groove rifling (1:10 RH twist) and a target-grade barrel stabilize bullets consistently, making it a credible option for someone serious about accuracy from a short-barrel wheelgun.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use 9mm ammunition in the .357 Magnum cylinder?

No. The 692 Executive comes with two dedicated cylinders: one for .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P, and one for 9mm. You must use the correct cylinder for each caliber and swap them as needed using the push-button system.

What's included with the Taurus 692 Executive?

The revolver ships with both the .357 Magnum/.38 Special +P cylinder and the 9mm cylinder, so you have the option to shoot either caliber without purchasing additional cylinders separately.

Is the 692 suitable for concealed carry or home defense?

At 3 inches and 35 ounces in full stainless steel, the 692 is compact and manageable for many shooters. Its dual-caliber capability and seven-round capacity make it flexible for different use cases, though concealed carry comfort depends on your holster choice and body type.

How does the ported barrel affect accuracy?

The ported barrel is designed to reduce recoil and muzzle rise, which can help you stay on target during follow-up shots. The target-grade barrel and fixed/adjustable sight system support precision, though the primary benefit of porting is felt recoil management rather than inherent accuracy improvement.
