This pump action rifle is very much a part of our history and the tradition of shooting in America. Taurus has taken that design and improved it with modern manufacturing techniques and new technologies with the new Model 172 in
.17 Hornady Rimfire Magnum. All of these feature adjustable rear sights, a bolt mounted safety and the Taurus Security System. |

Taurus Security System (TSS)3
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 each gun). 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. |
