1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 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.
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.
ATTENTION WARNING: Pay special attention to the safety rules listed below. NOTICE: Get instruction from a competent firearms instructor before using any firearm. NOTICE: Never cock the firearm until you are ready to shoot. DANGER: Never, never-ever point any firearm, loaded or unloaded, at anything you do not intend to shoot. DANGER: Load and unload with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
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 the muzzle away from everyone and in a safe direction. WARNING: Never pull a firearm towards you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree or cross a fence with a loaded firearm. WARNING: Never carry any handgun in your pocket, purse or waist-band. Use a pistol case or proper holster with safety flap or strap. WARNING: Old or reloaded ammunition may be dangerous.
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 with wrong or modified parts can result in a damaged firearm, danger and injury or death to you and others through malfunction.
Loading 1. DANGER: Always make sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. 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 ofter a completely safe direction to point the firearm; if an accidental discharge occurs, there is a great risk of injury or property damage. PT 24/7 OSS 3.
Firing 1. DANGER: Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger away from the trigger when cocking any firearm. 2. WARNING: Never carry, handle or leave unattended any firearm which is cocked and ready-to-fire. When cocked, it will fire from slight pressure on the trigger. An accidental discharge could easily result if you fall or drop the firearm, or if the firearm is struck or disturbed by someone or something. 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 SELF-DEFENSE. By far the safest procedure when carrying a loaded pistol is to leave the chamber empty. 2.

Safety devices DANGER: USE OF SAFETY 1. Your firearm comes equipped with an effective, well designed safety device. HOWEVER, NEVER RELY COMPLETELY ON ANY SAFETY MECHANISM. The best safety mechanism is your own common sense: USE IT! Always handle your firearm as though you expect the safety NOT to work. 2. While handling any firearm, never allow it to point at any part of your body or at another person. No harm will result if you obey this rule, even if an accidental discharge occurs. 3.
WARNING PT 24/7 OSS NEVER RELY COMPLETELY ON ANY SAFETY MECHANISM. It is NOT a substitute for cautious handling. NO safety, however positive or welldesigned, should be totally trusted. Like all mechanical devices, the safety is subject to breakage or malfunction and can be adversely affected by wear, abuse, dirt, corrosion, incorrect assembly, improper adjustment or repair, or lack of maintenance.
1) Trigger Safety This device is designed to preclude the backward movement of the trigger bar 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. 2) 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.
4) Cocking indicator A small colored plastic piece is visible at the rear of the slide when the firing pin is cocked. 5) Safety Latch & Firing Pin Decocker 1st position: Finger off of the trigger, which means that the trigger is in its most forward position. In this position, you can activate the Manual Safety by pushing the lever up placing it in the “ON” position. You can also activate the Firing Pin Decocker by pushing the lever up past the Manual Safety “ON” position.
6) Taurus Security System ATTENTION Never engage the Taurus Security System on your Taurus Pistol with the slide in the open (rearward) position. This will result in permanent damage to your firearm. Never engage the Taurus Security System when the firing pin is cocked. Never attempt to engage the Taurus Security System on a Taurus pistol with a cartridge in the chamber. Proceed as follow: - Remove the magazine; - Unload the gun by cycling the slide.
3. AMMUNITION 3.1 - Use only high quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammuniton malfunctions. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered. The proper caliber is permanently engraved on your firearm; never attempt to use ammunition of any other caliber. 3.
3.5 - 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 suffcient to merely look in the chamber. A bullet may be lodged some distance down the barrel where it can not easily be seen. IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMP 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.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. To remove the magazine press the MAGAZINE RELEASE BUTTON, located near the TRIGGER GUARD, with your thumb. 1 2 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. If the MAGAZINE is not correctly inserted into the pistol, it can be dropped when you intend to shoot. 3.
4. The pistol is now cocked and ready-to-fire in single action. The firing pin spring is compressed and held by the sear. 4 5 PT 24/7 OSS 6 Once the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar moves and the sear releases the firing pin which moves forward hitting the primer and discharging the ammunition. After the shot, the slide will move back, ejecting the empty case and feeding another cartridge into the chamber from the magazine. The pistol is now ready to fire again.
Protect your eyes and ears Always wear adequate shooting glasses and ear plugs or “ear muff” type protectors whenever you are shooting. Always make certain that persons close to you are similarly protected. Unprotected eyes may be injured by powder, gas, carbon residue, lubricant, metallic particles or similar debris which may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use. Without ear protection, repeated exposure to shooting noise may lead to cumulative, permanent hearing loss.
5. DISASSEMBLY 1. Remove the MAGAZINE by pressing the MAGAZINE RELEASE BUTTON. 1 2. Pull the SLIDE to its limit in order to be sure that the chamber is empty and push up the SLIDE CATCH LEVER. 2 3. With the left thumb, rotate the SLIDE DISASSEMBLY LATCH clockwise until it stops. PT 24/7 OSS 3 4 24 4. With the left hand, pull the SLIDE DISASSEMBLY LATCH out of frame. Alternatively release the slide catch, pull back the slide again and push up the slide catch lever.
5. Carefully lower slide latch and move slide forward up to its normal position. Pull the trigger and keeping it to rear, pull the slide slightly forward until you hear a click. Release the trigger and take the slide out. 5 6. Release SLIDE SPRING ASSEMBLY from its position on the bottom of the BARREL. 6 7. Remove the BARREL from the SLIDE by pulling to the front and up. 7 ATTENTION: No further disassembly is recommended unless done by a skilled gunsmith.
ASSEMBLY In order to reassemble the pistol, proceed by reversing the disassembling procedure while observing the following details: 1a 1b 1c 1. Replace the barrel in the slide pushing it to the rearward position. Insert the spring/guide rod sub-assembly into the slide over the barrel, compressing the spring slightly to get it into position. 2 3 PT 24/7 OSS 4 2.
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Be certain the firearm is unloaded before cleaning. The firearm may be cleaned and lubricated under normal conditions with the disassembly steps described in section 5 - In special conditions, such as repairs, when disassembling is necessary, it is recommended the firearm be sent to a competent gunsmith or the importer. - 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.
SAFETY FIRST: Parts All firearms require periodic maintenance and inspection which may reveal a need for adjustment or repair. Have your firearm checked by a competent gunsmith annually, even if it seems to be working well, since breakage, improper functioning, undue wear, or corrosion of some components may not be apparent from external examination. If you notice ANY mechanical malfunction, do NOT continue to use the firearm. UNLOAD the firearm and take it to a competent gunsmith immediately.
7. 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.
