Ultra-fast. Ultra-reliable. Ultra-lightweight. It’s no wonder the 85s are our most popular family. We pack them with a combination of customer-requested features and pair them with the .38 Special +P ammo – making them powerful, easy to carry – and lightning-quick to use. To many of our friends in Law Enforcement, these are must-have revolvers. New for 2008, we’re pushing our 85s to the next level. Check out our new light-as-a-feather HY-LITE Magnesium model. New colors are also available. New fiber optic front sights, too.

This firearm is designed to handle high pressure loads under SAAMI specifications.   Taurus Security System (TSS)rs Taurus family of semi-auto pistols all feature the Taurus Security System, which provides instant-ready defense with built-in ability to secure your pistol and make it inoperable at the turn of a key. When the Security System is engaged, the pistol cannot be fired or cocked and the gun’s manual safety cannot be disengaged. As with our revolver Security System, the device is part of the firearm and cannot be lost, and the same special Security Key works for both the revolver and pistol Systems (two keys come with most guns). To engage: simply insert the Key into the button on the rear or side of the pistol and rotate one-quarter turn clockwise. This engages the Security System. The manual safety cannot be moved and the trigger cannot be pulled. To disengage: simply rotate the key one-quarter turn back. This releases the Security System, yet leaves the pistol’s manual safety in the “safe” position until you are ready to release it yourself and fire the gun.   Transfer Bar The transfer bar mechanism prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled fully to the rear.     http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=317&category=Revolver
