2. TO LOAD THE GUN. 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.

TAURUS pistol is double action.
TO UNLOAD THE GUN. Remove the maga-
zine and tip up barrel and pick out cartridge
from chamber.
ATTENTION: Unload your pistol with the
muzzle pointing in a safe direction.
