9. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid
excessive spraying of any aerosol gun care product, especially where it
may get on ammunition. All lubricants and aerosol spray lubricants in par-

deterioration of the propellant powder; on firing, the powder may not
ignite. If only the primer ignites, there is danger that the bullet may
become lodged in the barrel.
Taurus pistols were designed to use cartridges loaded to the limits shown
below. Other cartridges of various types or bullet weights may or may not
function acceptably; such ammunition should be thoroughly tested by the
user before relying on it. Because of the widely differing specifications of
such other ammunition, Taurus cannot be responsible for malfunctions
resulting from its use.

“Plus-P’, “Plus-P-Plus” or other ultra or high velocity ammunition gener-
ates 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 pistols and could
therefore be DANGEROUS.
