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.
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.
TAURUS shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for
malfunctioning of the firearm, or for physical injury or property damage,
resulting in whole or in part from (1) criminal or negligent discharge, (2)
improper or careless handling, (3) unauthorized modifications, (4) defective,
improper hand-loaded, or reloaded ammunition, (5) neglect, or (6) other
influences beyond our direct and immediate control. This limitation applies
regardless of whether liability is asserted on the basis of contract, negligence
or strict liability (including any failure to warn). Under no circumstance shall
Taurus be liable for incidental or consequential damages, such as loss of use
of property, commercial loss and loss of earnings or profits.
SAFETY WARNINGS
NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS
Regardless of your familiarity or experience with firearms, you need to study
this manual.
The safe handling of firearms requires specialized training, discipline
and caution. Firearms, by their nature and intended function, are deadly
instruments. Accidental death or serious injury can result if they are handled
improperly or carelessly.
Firearms rarely cause accidents. Firearms accidents almost always are
caused by a failure to obey the basic rules of gun safety. Unfortunately,
experienced shooters seem to violate these rules as frequently as beginners.
Thus the basics of safe firearms handling cannot be repeated too often.
Read, re-read and practice the basic principles of firearms safety until they
become second nature: habits that you don’t forget.
If you have any question about your knowledge or ability to use this or
any other firearm with complete safety you should seek supervised
instruction. Personalized instruction is often available from firearms dealers,
gun clubs, state hunter safety programs or police departments in the United
States. If none of these sources is accessible, write to the National Rifle
Association, 11250 Waples Mill Road, Fairfax, VA 22030. THEY WILL
ASSIST YOU.
A person with a firearm in his possession has a full-time responsibility.
He must KNOW how to keep and use his firearm safely, and then must
always TAKE the precautions necessary -all of them. He cannot guess; he
cannot forget. This responsibility is his alone. It cannot be passed off to
someone else.
Remember: no firearm can be made accident-proof. A firearm is just a
machine, with no judgement of its own. It responds to your actions, whether
wise or foolish. The only truly effective safety device is the mind of a cautious
shooter who never forgets that a moment’s carelessness can produce
permanent tragedy.
ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

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. If
you do not, write the manufacturer and obtain one. Most manufacturers will
gladly send you one free. If for any reason a manual is not available, visit
your public library. Many books have been published which contain detailed
information on obsolete or discontinued firearms.
Your knowledge can prevent injuries.
Taurus firearms are designed and made to offer maximum
safety when correctly used. However, as with any other
weapon, it is not foolproof, and may become very dangerous if
the following basic recommendations are not RIGIDLY
observed:
ATTENTION
1.
DANGER:
Never, never-ever point any firearm, loaded or unloaded, at
anything you do not intend to shoot.
2.
WARNING:
Always treat every firearm as if it were loaded.
3.
NOTICE:
Get instruction from a competent firearms instructor before
using any firearm.
4.
SAFETY FIRST:
The safety is only a mechanical device, not a substitute
for common sense.
5.
WARNING:
Keep your finger off the trigger until you are actually aiming
at the target ready to shoot.
6.
WARNING:
Be certain the firearm is unloaded before cleaning.
7.
WARNING:
Always empty firearms before entering a place where there
are people.
8.
SAFETY FIRST:
Never leave a loaded firearm unattended.
9.
SAFETY FIRST:
Store firearms and ammunition separately beyond the
reach of children.
10.
WARNING:
Don’t test the safety by pulling the trigger while the safety is
on unless you are absolutely sure the firearm is empty and you are
pointing away from everyone.
11.
SAFETY FIRST:
Be sure of your target and backstop before you shoot.
12.
WARNING
:
Firearms and alcohol or drugs don’t mix. Do not shoot or handle
firearms after consuming beer, wine, other alcoholic beverages or any
medications or other drugs that may affect your ability.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
13.
WARNING:
Never pull a firearm towards you by the muzzle. Don’t climb
a tree or cross a fence with a loaded firearm.
14.
DANGER:
Load and unload with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
15.
SAFETY FIRST:
If a firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep
it pointed at the target for at least 30 seconds. Sometimes slow primer
ignition will cause a “hang” fire and the cartridge will go off after a short
pause.
16.
SAFETY FIRST:
Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water.., bullet may
ricochet.
17.
DANGER:
When receiving a firearm always check that it is unloaded
(Pistols: Remove magazine and open slide to check if chamber is
empty. Revolvers: Open cylinder to check if it is empty), even if you saw
it done previously.
18.
DANGER:
Never put your hand over the muzzle of a firearm.
19.
DANGER:
Check ammunition to be sure it is the right size and caliber,
and that it is not dented.
20.
SAFETY FIRST:
Use a proper holster and draw only if you intend to
shoot.
21.
NOTICE:
Never cock the firearm until you are ready to shoot.
22.
SAFETY FIRST:
Dry firing is bad for this firearm, whether the hammer
block is engaged or not.
23.
DANGER:
WHILE HANDLING ANY FIREARM, NEVER ALLOW IT TO
POINT AT ANY PART OF YOUR BODY OR AT ANOTHER PERSON.
NO HARM SHOULD RESULT IF YOU OBEY THIS RULE, EVEN IF AN
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OCCURS.
24.
CAUTION:
If there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is obstructing
the barrel, immediately unload the firearm and look through the bore. It
is not sufficient to merely look in the chamber.
25.
SAFETY FIRST:
Treat this firearm as a precision instrument.
26.
WARNING:
Old or reloaded ammunition may be dangerous. We
recommend against using it.
27.
WARNING:
Never carry any handgun in your pocket, purse or waist-
band. Use a pistol case or proper holster with safety flap or strap.
28.
DANGER:
Don’t try to change your firearm’s trigger pull, because
alteration of trigger pull usually affects sear engagement and may cause
accidental discharge.
29.
SAFETY FIRST:
Write to us concerning any items or circumstances
which might relate to your safety and the operation of our products.
30.
DANGER:
Never engage a gun lock on a loaded firearm.
