ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
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. If
the bullet cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod, take the
firearm to a gunsmith.
7. Dirt, corrosion, or other foreign matter on a cartridge can impede complete
chambering and may cause the cartridge case to burst upon firing. The same
is true of cartridges which are damaged or deformed.
8. Do not oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the chamber clean of any oil or
preservative before commencing to shoot. Oil interferes with the friction
between cartridge case and chamber wall that is necessary for safe
functioning, and subjects the firearm to stress similar to that imposed by
excessive pressure.
9. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid
excessive spraying of any aerosol firearm care product, especially where it
may get on ammunition. All lubricants and aerosol spray lubricants in
particular, can penetrate cartridge primers and cause misfires. Some highly
penetrative lubricants can also migrate inside cartridge cases and cause
deterioration of the propellant powder; on firing, the powder may not ignite. If
only the primer ignites, there is danger that the bullet may become lodged in
the barrel.
Taurus pistols were designed to use cartridges loaded to the limits shown
below. Other cartridges of various types or bullet weights may or may not
function acceptably; such ammunition should be thoroughly tested by the
user before relying on it. Because of the widely differing specifications of
such other ammunition, Taurus cannot be responsible for malfunctions
resulting from its use.

“Plus-P’, “PIus-P-Plus” or other ultra or high velocity ammunition generates
pressures significantly in excess of the pressures associated with standard
ammunition. Such pressures may affect the useful life of the firearm or
exceed the margin of safety built into many pistols and could therefore be
DANGEROUS.
CAUTION
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling
ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to
cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Have
adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
