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.
Taurus shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for
malfunctioning of the firearm, or for physical injury or property damage,
resulting in whole or in part from (1) criminal or negligent discharge, (2)
improper or careless handling, (3) unauthorized modifications, (4) defective,
improper hand-loaded, or reloaded ammunition, (5) neglect, or (6) other
influences beyond our direct and immediate control. This limitation applies
regardless of whether liability is asserted on the basis of contract,
negligence or strict liability (including any failure to warn). Under no
circumstance shall Taurus be liable for incidental or consequential damages,
such as loss of use of property, commercial loss and loss of earnings or
profits.
SAFETY WARNINGS
NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS
Regardless of your familiarity or experience with firearms, you 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 seem to violate these rules as frequently as beginners.
Thus the basics of safe firearms handling cannot be repeated too often.
Read, re-read and practice 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 firearms 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, 11250 Waples
Mill Road, Fairfax, VA 22030 or at www.nra.org. THEY WILL ASSIST YOU.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER.
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. 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.
Firearms are not all 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.
Taurus firearms are designed and made to offer maximum safety when
correctly used. However, as with any other weapon, it is not foolproof,
and may become very dangerous if the next basic recommendations are
not RIGIDLY observed:
ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER.

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. Always have a qualified gunsmith
work on your firearm.
DANGER
THIS PISTOL IS CAPABLE OF FIRING WITH MAGAZINE REMOVED. INJURY OR
DEATH MAY RESULT. NEVER POINT A LOADED PISTOL AT ANYONE OR
ANYTHING YOU DO NOT INTEND TO SHOOT.
WARNING
To prevent injury or death, it is imperative that you must keep your
firearm unloaded, uncocked and securely locked, with ammunition in a
separate location. In addition, take any other reasonable steps to limit the
possibility of theft, crime, accident or suicide.

firearm, or if the firearm is struck or disturbed by someone or something.
3. WARNING:
face, or other part of your body over or adjacent to the ejection port, or in
any position where you may be struck by reciprocating movement of the
slide (or bolt). Both the ejection of the empty cartridge cases and the
movement of the slide (or bolt) are part of the normal operating cycle of
semi-automatic firearms, and pose no safety hazard to the shooter if the
firearm is held in a normal grip and fired at arm’s length (in the case of a
handgun) as intended by its design.
4. CAUTION:
might be struck by an ejected cartridge case. The case is hot, and may be
ejected with sufficient force to cause a burn, or cut, or injury to an
unprotected eye. Make certain there is a clear, unobstructed path for safe
ejection of the fired case. Remember, the case may bounce off a hard object
nearby and strike you or someone else.
5. DANGER:
malfunction or binding, or “spits” powder, gas, or if a cartridge primer is
punctured or a cartridge case is bulged or ruptured, or if the report on firing
does not sound quite right, STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY. It may be
dangerous to continue. UNLOAD THE FIREARM. DO NOT try “one more shot”.
Take the firearm and ammunition to a gunsmith for examination.

Firing mechanism
Taurus PT 24/7 has a striker firing mechanism. It normally operates as a
conventional Single Action system e.g. every time the slide cycles it precocks the firing pin.
If an ammunition failure occurs and a misfire happens, the system
automatically goes to a double action condition allowing you to fire again by
pulling the trigger (double action), with no need to cycle the slide manually.
ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER.
