Hi Maurice, this has a transfer bar safety. With an unloaded weight of 20 ozs., the Defender 605 is relatively lightweight for a .357 Mag, so you are going to feel the recoil when shooting .357 Stay safe & have a great day!
it does not have a manual safety it does have a transfer bar safety so it is safe to carry with 5 rounds of ammo due to its light weight it is a handfull with 357 but in a high stress situation you will never notice the increased recoil over the 38 special
Hi Maurice and welcome. This model has a Transfer Bar Safety. The transfer bar will allow the firing pin to strike the primer of a cartridge only when the trigger is pulled. Here is a shooting video for demonstrated recoil with .357 magnum ammo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6LTnXCQvXw
