FIREARMS SAFETY SYSTEMS 4

Firearms safety is supported by a system. With your pistol, the system is made up of the following:

1. You! Your involvement in safety cannot be overemphasized. No safety component can keep your finger
off the trigger and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Also, you are the key to never trusting any of the
mechanical parts of the safety system.

2. Loaded chamber indicator. When a cartridge is loaded in the chamber, the loaded chamber indicator
protrudes from the top of the slide just behind the ejection port, and its surface can be seen or felt without
the need for pulling the slide back to check the chamber.
Firing Position Safety Position

WARNING 5. Trigger Safety. The trigger safety serves the same kind of function
as the manual safety. It must be in the Fire position to fire the pistol. 6

trigger and fire the pistol. If you keep your finger off the trigger you will not press it by accident and fire the
pistol before you are ready to do so, thereby avoiding accidents. The Memory Pad gives you a consistent
place to put your trigger finger off the trigger, but in a ready position.

When chambering a round, we recommend pulling the slide to the rear by gripping the rear of the slide,
with the muzzle pointed straight and away from your body and in a safe direction.

SAFE CARRY CONDITION

“Safe Carry Condition” is the most ready-to-fire condition that the user feels is reasonable under the
circumstances. Generally, we believe that Taurus® pistols should be carried with a full magazine and an
empty chamber. Under most circumstances, this provides the best balance of readiness and safety. On
the plus side, if the chamber is empty, unintended discharges are minimized. However, the slide must be
manipulated to load a round in the chamber. In emergency circumstances, this can be difficult to do safely
and correctly.

If the user believes that he or she is faced with an increased threat, chambering a round is appropriate.
For safety reasons, this should be done beforehand with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, your finger
off the trigger and on the Memory Pad. If equipped, place the manual safety in the “safe” position. How
do you know you may be going into a more dangerous situation? That depends. If, for example, you carry
cash to deposit after a business closing, this may well qualify. If a domestic partner is actively threatening
you, this may qualify as well.

“Safe Carry Condition” is a judgment call and must be made by the user. Some users routinely face greater
threats than others. Users must be aware of their situation and circumstances. Errors in judgment can have
dire and tragic outcomes if firearms are present.

WARNING - ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED

NOTICE
If dropped or struck, the pistol may fire.
Even if your Taurus® firearm is rated for Plus-P (“+P”) ammunition, such 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 firearms. Unless you need +P
ammunition, do not use it, particularly for practice.
WARNING
If dropped or struck the firearm should be inspected by a trained armorer/gunsmith for a complete function
check. After the firearm was dropped or struck, mechanisms, including automatic safeties, may not function
as intended resulting in accidental death or serious injury.

22 Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and finger off the trigger. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and finger off the trigger. 23
