Safety Warnings

Not Just For Beginners

Regardless of your familiarity or experience with firearms, don’t assume

that you have no need to study this manual.

The safe handling of firearms requires specialized training, discipline

and caution. Firearms, by their nature and intended function, are deadly

instruments. Accidental death or serious injury can result if they are

handled improperly or carelessly.

Firearms rarely cause accidents. Firearms accidents almost always are

caused by a failure to obey the basic rules of gun safety. Unfortunately,

experienced shooters are found to violate these rules as frequently as

beginners. Thus, the basics of safe firearms handling cannot be repeated

too often. Read, re-read and memorize the basic principles of firearms

safety until they become second nature: habits that you don’t forget.

If you have any question about your knowledge or ability to use this or

any other firearm with complete safety you should seek supervised

instruction. Personalized instruction is often available from gun dealers,

gun clubs, state hunter safety programs or police departments in the

United States. If none of these sources is accessible, write to the National

Rifle Association, Washington, D.C. 20036. THEY WILL ASSIST YOU.

A person with a gun 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 gun can be made accident-proof. A gun is just a machine,

with no judgement of its own. It responds to your actions, whether wise

or foolish. The only truly effective safety device is the mind of a cautious

shooter who never forgets that a moment’s carelessness can produce

permanent tragedy.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

Guns Are Not Alike

Many makes and models of firearms might LOOK nearly the same.

However, they differ widely in design and operation, and in the location

and function of various controls.

Study this manual thoroughly. Educate yourself on the characteristics and

operation of your particular firearm before attempting to handle it. Do

not permit others to handle it, unless they also have done so.

You should have an instruction manual for every firearm you own. If you

do not, write the manufacturer and obtain one. Most manufacturers will

gladly send you one free. If for any reason a manual is not available, visit

your public library. Many books have been published which contain

detailed information on obsolete or discontinued firearms.

Your knowledge can prevent injuries.

The Taurus rifle was designed and is made to offer the maximum of safety

when correctly used. However, as with any other weapon, it is not

foolproof, and may become very dangerous if the following basic

recommendations are not RIGIDLY observed:

Warning:

Securing your firearm may inhibit access to it in a defense situation and

result in injury or death.

Warning:

Failure to properly secure a firearm may result in injury or death.

Attention

1. Never, never-ever point any gun, loaded or unloaded, at anything you

do not intend to shoot.

2. Always treat every gun as if it were loaded.

3. Get instruction from a competent firearms instructor before using

any gun.

4. The safety is only a mechanical device, not a substitute for common

sense.

5. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are actually aiming at the

target ready to shoot.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

6. Be certain the gun is unloaded before cleaning.

7. Always empty guns before entering a place where there are people.

8. Never leave a loaded gun unattended.

9. Store guns and ammunition separately, beyond the reach of children.

10. Don’t test the safety by pulling the trigger while the safety is on unless

you are absolutely sure the gun is empty and you are pointing away from

everyone.

11. Be sure of your target and backstop before you shoot.

12. Guns and alcohol or drugs don’t mix.

13. Never pull a gun towards you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree or cross

a fence with a loaded gun.

14. Load and unload with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

15. If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed at the

target for at least 30 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause

a “hang-fire” and the cartridge will go off after a short pause.

16. Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water - bullet may ricochet.

17. When receiving a gun always check that it is unloaded.

18. Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.

19. Check ammunition to be sure it is the right size and caliber, and that it is

not dented.

20. Never cock the gun until you are ready to shoot.

21. Dry firing is bad for this gun, whether the safety is engaged or not.

22. WHILE HANDLING ANY FIREARM, NEVER ALLOW IT TO POINT AT ANY

PART OF YOUR BODY OR AT ANOTHER PERSON. NO HARM SHOULD

RESULT IF YOU OBEY THIS RULE, EVEN IF AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE

OCCURS.

23. 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

sufficient to merely look in the chamber.

24. Treat this gun as a precision instrument.

25. Old or reloaded ammunition may be dangerous. We recommend against

using it.

26. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull, because alteration of trigger

pull usually affects sear engagement and may cause accidental discharge.
