THIS BOOKLET The safety warnings in this booklet are important. By understanding the dangers inherent in the use of any firearm, and by taking the precautions described herein, you can enjoy complete safety in the use of your Taurus revolver or pistol. Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in serious injury to you or others, as well as severe damage to the firearm or other property. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER.
DANGEROUS WEAPONS REVOLVERS and PISTOLS are classified as FIREARMS or DANGEROUS WEAPONS and are sold by us with the specific understanding that we are not responsible in any manner whatsoever for their improper or negligent handling or resale under local laws and regulations.
FIREARMS ARE NOT ALL ALIKE Many makes and models of firearms might LOOK nearly the same. However, they differ widely in design and operation, and in the location and function of various controls. Study this manual thoroughly. Educate yourself on the characteristics and operation of your particular firearm before attempting to handle it. Do not permit others to handle it - unless they also have done so. You should have an instruction manual for every firearm you own.
WARNING: Always treat every firearm as if it were loaded. WARNING: Keep your finger off the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target ready to shoot. WARNING: Be certain the firearm is unloaded before cleaning. WARNING: To properly apply the manual safety lever, the trigger must be in its forward-most position, otherwise the lever can be moved upwards, but will not be fully engaged. (See page 19) WARNING: Always empty firearms before entering a place where there are people.
WARNING Taurus pistols were manufactured to perform properly with the original parts as designed. It is your duty to make sure any parts you buy are installed correctly and that neither replacements nor originals are altered or changed. Your firearm is a simple tool but it has many parts that must relate correctly to other parts. Putting a firearm together wrong or with modified parts can result in a damaged firearm, danger and injury or death to you and others through malfunction.
DANGER This pistol will fire with the magazine removed. Injury or death may result. Never point a loaded pistol at anyone or anything you do not intend to shoot. WARNING To prevent injury or death, it is imperative that you must keep your firearm unloaded, uncocked and securely locked, with ammunition in a separate location. In addition, take any other reasonable steps to limit the possibility of theft, crime, accident or suicide.
WARNING: AMMUNITION 1. Use only high quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservatives, or cleaners directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered.
IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR ONE FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS BEEN REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, WRECK THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. If the bullet can be removed with a cleaning rod, clean any unburned powder grains from the bore, chamber, and mechanism before resuming shooting.
Align the rear and front sights carefully. The top of the front sight must be leveled with the top of the rear sight and set in the middle of the rear sight notch. The bullseye should rest on the top of the sights. Squeeze the trigger very carefully with index-finger, keeping sight aligned with the target. If the trigger is jerked, the target will possibly be missed due to the movement of the firearm. The pressure should be applied between the tip and the first joint of the finger.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE A. The firearm may be cleaned and lubricated under normal conditions without the need of any disassembly. B. In special conditions, such as repairs, when disassembling is necessary, it is recommended the firearm be returned to the factory or sent to a competent gunsmith or to the importer. C. In order to keep a firearm in perfect condition it must be kept clean and covered with a slight film of good quality oil to prevent corrosion. This is especially necessary after use. D.

TAURUS LIMITED WARRANTY What Does This Warranty Cover? This warranty covers any service and repair needed by any product manufactured by Forjas Taurus SA., and imported by Taurus International Manufacturing, Inc. or manufactured in the United States by Taurus International Manufacturing, Inc. How Long Does Coverage Last? This warranty is of unlimited duration. What Will We Do? Taurus will service and/or repair all covered products free of charge.
LOADING 1. DANGER: Always make sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and your finger is off the trigger. 2. SAFETY FIRST: Never attempt to load or unload any firearm inside a vehicle, building or other confined space (except a properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently do not offer a completely safe direction to point the firearm; if an accidental discharge occurs, there is a great risk of injury or property damage. 3.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOLS 1. SAFETY FIRST: Risk of an accident is greatly increased when any semiautomatic pistol, no matter how safely designed, is carried with a cartridge in the chamber. THIS PRACTICE IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND MAY BE JUSTIFIED ONLY IN CIRCUMSTANCE OF CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER WHEN THE PISTOL MAY IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO BE USED IN SELFDEFENSE. By far the safest procedure when carrying a loaded pistol is to leave the chamber empty. Never carry the pistol with a cartridge in the chamber 2.
OPERATION 1. To remove the magazine press the MAGAZINE RELEASE BUTTON, located near the TRIGGER GUARD, with your thumb. 2. Hold the MAGAZINE with one of your hands and with the other one insert the cartridges one at a time, pressing them down and to the rear. Insert the MAGAZINE into the pistol until it is held by the MAGAZINE CATCH. 3. Hold the pistol with one hand keeping your finger away from the TRIGGER. With the other hand pull the SLIDE to its limit and release it.
ACTION Normally SA/DA version operates as a conventional Single Action system e.g. every time the slide cycles it pre-cocks the firing pin. Nevertheless, if an ammunition failure occurs and a misfire happens, the system automatically goes to double action condition allowing you to fire again with no need to cycle the slide manually just pull the trigger again.
8. TAURUS polymer pistols are equipped with the following. (see page 19) - TRIGGER LOCK - FIRING PIN BLOCK - MANUAL SAFETY - LOADED CHAMBER INDICATOR - TAURUS SECURITY SYSTEM WARNING NEVER RELY COMPLETELY ON ANY SAFETY MECHANISM. It is NOT a substitute for cautious firearm handling. NO safety, however positive or welldesigned, should be totally trusted.
SAFETY DEVICES Trigger Lock This device is designed to preclude the backward movement of the trigger so as to prevent an accidental discharge in case the firearm is dropped. The system is disengaged when the trigger is pulled to the rear. Firing Pin Block The firing pin block, which is designed to prevent the firing pin from going forward and striking the primer is engaged until the trigger is in its final rearward position.
Engagement (secure) Insert the key into the mechanism and turn clockwise until a click is felt or heard. The mechanism now partially protrudes above the surface of the slide. The action is locked in place and cannot function. Disengagement (ready-to-fire) To place the pistol in a firing condition, insert the key into the mechanism and turn it counter-clockwise. The mechanism is now virtually flush with the surface of the slide. The pistol can now be fired.
4. With left hand, pull SLIDE DISASSEMBLY LATCH or TAKEDOWN PIN out of frame. Alternatively release the slide catch, pull back the slide again and push up the slide catch lever. This movement frees the DISASSEMBLY LATCH. 5. Carefully release the slide catch, letting the slide go forward, then pull the trigger and pull the slide off the frame. 6. Carefully remove SLIDE SPRING and GUIDE from its position on the bottom of the BARREL. SPRING is under compression so it must be kept under control until removed.
In order to assemble the pistol, proceed by reversing the disassembling procedure while observing the following details: 1. Replace the barrel in the slide pushing it to the rearward position. Insert the spring/guide rod subassembly into the slide over the barrel, compressing the spring slightly to get it into position. 2. The SLIDE should be mounted on the frame and pulled fully to the rear and the SLIDE CATCH must be moved upward to hold the SLIDE to the rear. 3.
The slide may stick on the frame before going fully to the rear, or the barrel may ride with it to the rear . Begin again and press down with the finger onto that rear portion of the barrel Accessible through the ejection port. When the barrel depresses and locks to the frame, continue moving the slide fully to the rear and engage the slide catch lever. All firearms require periodic maintenance and inspection which may reveal a need for adjustment or repair.
TAURUS SERVICE POLICY Before shipment, your firearm was carefully inspected and test fired in order to ensure that it conformed to our specifications and standards. Should your firearm require adjustment or repair, we strongly recommend that you return it to Taurus for factory service. If there is any question regarding the performance of your firearm, please write to our Service Department fully describing all circumstances and conditions involved.
