1. The FIRING PIN BLOCK (4) is permanently locked preventing the FIRING

PIN (5) from going forward which could cause accidental discharge should

the pistol be dropped.

The FIRING PIN BLOCK (4) is only released at the TRIGGER (1) final stage

position, allowing the FIRING PIN (5) to advance as soon as it receives the

HAMMER (6) impact energy. The release is done through the following

movement series: TRIGGER (1), TRIGGER BAR (2), FIRING PIN BLOCK

LEVER (3) and FIRING PIN BLOCK(4).

2.By moving the SAFETY upward you will disengage the hammer and sear

simultaneously. The SAFETY was designed to allow AMBIDEXTROUS use

and it enables a rapid change from safe to fire position.

3. When a cartridge is loaded in the chamber the EXTRACTOR end

protrudes and its red colored surface can be easily seen or felt without the

need of moving back the SLIDE.

CAUTION - Taurus Models PT111, PT140, PT911, PT938, PT940 and

PT957 manufactured before July, 2000 do NOT contain a loaded
