READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR FIREARM
ROSSI REVOLVER WITH THE TAURUS SECURITY SYSTEM™
The Rossi Revolver is equipped with the exclusive
“Taurus Security System.” The system is designed
to preclude use of the revolver when the
mechanism is engaged. It consists of an integral
mechanism located in the hammer.
When properly activated by use of the key, it
prevents the functioning of the revolver. The
engagement of the mechanism can only be done
utilizing a special key that fits the activation pin.
Engagement
(Secure)
To activate the system, it is necessary to insert the
key into the activation pin and turn it clockwise until
a “click” is felt or heard (Fig. 1a). In this position, the
revolver’s mechanism is locked and the pin
protrudes above the surface of the hammer (Fig.
1b).
Disengagement
(Ready-to-Fire)
To place the revolver in a firing condition, you must
insert the key in the security mechanism pin and turn
the key counter-clockwise (Fig. 2a). In this position
the top of the pin is in the same plane with the
hammer (Fig. 2b). The revolver is now ready to fire.
WARNING:
All handguns must be kept out of the reach of
children or persons not authorized to use them.
Ammunition should be kept separated from the
handgun. Never fully rely on any safety or security
mechanism. It is not a substitute for safe and
cautious gun handling. No safety or security
mechanism, however positive or well designed,
should be totally trusted. Like all mechanical
devices, the safety or security system is subject to
breakage or malfunction and can be adversely
affected by wear, abuse, dirt, corrosion, incorrect
assembly, improper adjustment, repair, or lack of
maintenance.

Moreover, there is no such thing as a safety which is
“childproof” or which can completely prevent
accidental discharge from improper usage,
carelessness or “horseplay”.

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 firearm 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 firearm dealers, firearm 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.
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 judgment 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 BARREL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
