The new Taurus GX2 TORO brings optics ready capability to our affordable and reliable compact pistol platform. The GX2 TORO's slide is direct milled to accept optics that fit the Shield RMSC/Holosun-K footprint, which is the most common compact optics footprint. In the above video, Caleb Giddings breaks down how easy it is to install [...]

By Tana Grenda This is part 2 of Tana Grenda's encounter with a Boone and Crockett brown bear in Alaska. You can read Part 1 here After the bear dipped down below the horizon in front of us at 200 yards, Trevor whispered, let’s run. The adrenaline hit. We left our gear and grabbed the [...]

By Tana Grenda For most of my life in Alaska, I viewed a sidearm as something optional. Useful, maybe. They are heavy, inconvenient, and uncomfortable at times, but often something people carry more for peace of mind than anything. I grew up around firearms, hunted big country, flew into the remote wilderness often, and spent [...]

Welcome to part 1 of a four part series on maintaining your Taurus RPC! In this video, Taurus USA's General Manager of Marketing Caleb Giddings goes over the basics on how to field strip your Taurus RPC. As always, ensure all firearms are safe and clear before handling for cleaning or maintenance. When in doubt, [...]

Knowing my desire to take a big boar, a match equal to my Taurus Raging Hunter 454 Casull, Jeff called the day before. “Larry, if you can get up to my Buck & Bass Ranch tomorrow there’s a good chance you can take a boar like you’ve been looking for.” Fast forward to the next [...]

The Taurus Deputy rapidly became one of the most popular single action revolvers on the market after its launch. Available in 45 Colt and 357 Magnum, the deep blue finish and clean lines appealed immediately to customers. For Deputy owners, we've produced a series of videos covering the basics of the Taurus Deputy, including loading, [...]

Taurus USA announces the launch of the Taurus RPC, the company’s first entry into a dedicated 9mm PDW category. Built to NATO standards, the RPC delivers a reliable, adaptable platform in a compact format. The RPC blends proven ergonomics with modern capability, keeping operation simple and setup fast. The aluminum construction trims weight while maintaining [...]

What better way to pressure test the Taurus Expedition than a marksmanship class at the legendary FTW Ranch, then follow that up with a high-stakes hunt for a huge trophy axis deer? Join Taurus USA's General Manager of Marketing as he dips his toes into the science and adventure of long range hunting, featuring the [...]

I love the fall months.  But, there is something to be said about spring and the opportunities it brings those of us who love hunting and the outdoors. “It’s starting to green up here on the ranch. Got time to help do some spring cleaning? Whitetail does will start having fawns starting late May and [...]

I challenge you to look at a revolver and not smile. It’s hard to see one and not think of the styles that many of us grew up watching in movies and on TV. The classic firearm speaks to us all, whether it is an old-West-style six-shooter or the little snubby used for concealed carry. [...]

Firearm ownership entails more than the right to carry and shoot. It carries the responsibility to train with purpose. Whether for personal defense, competition or the satisfaction of honing a skill, the range serves as a classroom where discipline and repetition translate into improved performance. Among the most effective tools for building that discipline is [...]

By Ian Richadson Protecting the flock with the Taurus Judge Home Defender is a modern solution for a timeless responsibility. Familial and individual protection has never looked more deliberate as the Taurus Judge Home Defender looks and feels like a cannon with manners. In many ways, it is a jack-of-all-trades when taking into account its [...]

By Rev. Kenn Blanchard The most important lesson I learned and taught as a firearms instructor for the CIA is that your mind is your primary weapon. Weapons evolve, systems come and go, but your ability to assess and respond to a threat ultimately determines your survival. A well-made firearm can be a powerful equalizer, [...]

  “I’m going to have to replace the red dot sights on my .454 Casull and .44 Mag Raging Hunters with my older Simmons or T/C long-eye relief scopes that I took off of one my vintage T/C Encore or T/C Contender handguns, if I want to increase my chances of hitting the 500-yard target.” [...]

It’s HOT where I live in Texas about an hour west-northwest of Houston.  Daytime temperatures and humidity levels are essentially the same numbers, in the high 90’s.  This past spring and early summer we have fortunately receive a goodly amount of rainfall.  Much of Texas has recently been blessed with rain, but we are a [...]

“You are aware we can’t bait bears in New Mexico.” Commented Bridger Petrini. I nodded. “But oak trees’ acorns and water are not considered bait.” Again I nodded. “Let me guess. You want to hunt that water hole just below Johnson Mesa, that one in the back of the oak tree covered canyon.” “Bridger you [...]

He was there, then gone like an afterthought in a bad situation. I had looked away merely for a heartbeat to glance at the crunching sound of footsteps in the dry white oak leaves that covered the ground behind me. Squirrel! Immediately I again looked forward to prepare taking a shot at this long awaited [...]

I freely and openly state, hunting black bear is one of my passions. Over the years, starting in 1978 I have pursued their kind from the coastal and inland areas of Alaska down to the arid deserts of Arizona and from there angling up toward Maine over to Newfoundland and then across Canada toward Alaska. [...]

At the Dump with the TaurusTX 22 Our grandson had been eyeing the old dump nearby on private property, that’s been in place for at least 50 years and featuring such interesting objects as an old refrigerator, printer, satellite dish and an assortment of pickle jars and coffee cans. The dump is located on a [...]

Have you ever thought of guns as having a personality? There are the flashy ones, and then there are the quiet ones. Not flashy, not showy, quietly working to get the job done. They don’t need recognition or acclaim. They simply do the job you need them to do consistently and reliably. The new Taurus [...]

I got the opportunity to test fire the Taurus 608 Competition revolver. I had originally planned to drive out to the Eastern Shore of Maryland to shoot, but the weather and life didn’t permit it. However, I was determined to try out this large frame revolver despite the circumstances. It is a beautiful gun. Indoor [...]

By Andrea Bogard Do you ever go on a date and it just “clicks?” No awkward pauses or uncomfortable dialogues. No cataclysmic philosophical or idealogical differences … No diametrically opposed views on public displays of affection … So, swipe right and let’s explore the Taurus GX2 together. Gunsite and the GX2 I had the opportunity [...]

By Michelle Cerino The Taurus Deputy in .45 Colt with its 4-¾ inch barrel differs significantly from the other firearms in my gunroom. Yes, I have a few wheelguns for personal protection, like a Taurus 82 medium frame revolver and a Taurus 856 Ultra Lite, both in 38 Spl +P. However, the Taurus Deputy is a horse [...]

Always wear appropriate clothing when shooting. This includes long pants, closed shoes and high necked shirts. Always have your eye and ear protection on when on the range. Never bother another shooter while they are on the line. Never cross the firing line without the rangemaster’s knowledge and approval. Do not clear your own jams [...]

Versatility, Style, and Precision Best Describes This Revolver As a firearms instructor, I spend most of my time working with semi-automatics. Recently, I nervously welcomed the opportunity to get my hands on the Taurus 692 Executive Grade revolver, although I am new to the world of revolvers. When I first handled it, I felt like [...]

By Andrea Bogard The GX4 Carry is a powerful, effective and comfortable companion to take afield. Whether enjoying a hike, hunting or just spending time in the great outdoors, the Taurus GX4 Carry is both packable and powerful. I’m a huge proponent of “practice how you intend to perform,” so to the woods and the [...]

By Tamara Keel So… here we are. As I type this, it’s the year 2024, and I’m fixin’ to talk about why the basic M1911-patterned USGI pistol, as designed before the grandfathers of almost anybody reading this piece had been born. Why does almost every pistol manufacturer toss out their own riff on the 1911? [...]

By Jason Baird According to Taurus’ website, “The Taurus TX™ 22 is most advanced 22LR rimfire pistol on the market. Engineered to deliver best-in-class accuracy and reliability, this rimfire polymer sporting pistol shoots and feels every bit like a custom-tuned competition model-without any costly upgrades or modifications.” This is quite a tall order for a [...]

By Tamara Keel In a perfect world, every decent citizen would have the raw pistol-shooting skills of a B-class USPSA competitor, have taken dozens of hours of scenario-based training from qualified instructors, and tote a double-stack pistol in a service caliber, complete with a reload or two, every time they step foot out their front [...]

by Kevin McPherson The .32 caliber revolver has seen a bit of a revival in 2024. Taurus already catalogs the 327, a small frame revolver chambered in the .327 Federal Magnum with a two-inch barrel. This year, the line up was enhanced by adding a “Defender” variant with a three-inch barrel. The longer barrel alone [...]

Shooting a Handgun For the First Time by Andy Grossman Stepping out of your comfort zone and doing something new is one of the hardest things to do in this crazy thing we call life. Let’s face it, it is so much easier to just do what we always do and stick to what we [...]

By William Bell One of the most iconic firearms during the era of the Old West was the single action revolver. It was epitomized by the Colt Single Action Army (SAA), a six-shooter that was made for the military, but was also very popular with civilians, especially lawmen. At the time of its introduction, it [...]

Throughout my time at a top-tier gun range in Colorado, I witnessed a wide array of setups and accessories that people carried for their shooting sessions. From using shopping bags as makeshift range bags to mismatched firearm and ammunition combinations, range staff sees it all. However, strategic planning and investing in quality equipment can significantly [...]

Fall hunting seasons are a few short weeks away. I can hardly wait and am quickly getting prepared. My Mossberg 6.5 PRC and 7mm PRC rifles are topped with Stealth Vision scopes sighted-in shooting 1 MOA and less groups at 100 yards with Hornady Precision Hunter. My Rossi lever-action, Model 95 .30-30 Win is finely [...]

by Anne Conrad If you're new to the shooting range, it can feel overwhelming at first. Remembering some key tips can help make your experience more comfortable for you and others. If you are new to shooting, consider getting help from an experienced friend, hiring an instructor, or taking a class to build your confidence [...]

by Kat Ainsworth Stevens Handgun hunting is on the rise, and that doesn’t only apply to the guys that choose to swap out their rifles for pistols. For years now women have been shooting and buying guns with greater frequency, and it’s past time we started making a more definite mark on the hunting world [...]

by Mark Luell In a world where time and money are scarce, finding ample resources for self-defense skill development seems like a luxury. This challenge necessitates a shift in mindset towards efficiency and prioritization. You can’t do everything all at once. Let's delve into strategies to optimize training time without breaking the bank, with a [...]

by Brady Kirkpatrick Accessorizing your pistol is one of the most exciting parts of buying a new one. It’s a clean slate—a blank canvas. And you get to decide if you want it to be a competition or self-defense pistol. It’s all up to you. But determining which accessories are a best for your handgun [...]

Lessons learned are not always pleasant nor “easy”. In a reasonably long career of hunting I have my share of some of those “lernts”! One of my first happened when I was a mere youngster hunting deer only a short distance behind our rural Texas home. I had the year before finally taken my first [...]

“Seeing many fawns on your lease out west?” Questioned David Cotton. “Here in Northeast Texas we’ve thankfully seen a lot of them. And, we’re starting to see what looks like there is going to be some pretty nice bucks. Seems like all we’ve been doing with passing up younger bucks and limiting our overall buck [...]

By Kevin McPherson Semi-automatic handguns with polymer frames and double-digit magazine capacities are certainly the “most carried” of contemporary handguns. That said, owning and training with a revolver or two is a wise practice. Small revolvers are hard to beat as backup guns, or for deep cover situations where minimal clothing is the rule. Many [...]

By Tamara Keel Optically-sighted revolvers, in and of themselves, are not new things. You’ve been able to buy scope-mounting kits for medium- and large-frame revolvers since the earth cooled. The thing is, however, that these revolvers with optics mounts were intended for either hunting game or winning shooting games. The idea of a general concealed [...]

By Larry Weishuhn “Daddy…can I borrow your .30-30…if you’re not hunting this afternoon?” I had practiced that line no less than thirty or forty times before I finally got up the courage to ask my dad about letting me use his Model 94 lever-action deer rifle. My personal deer rifle at the time was my [...]

Heritage Manufacturing has been producing economical .22 single action (SA) revolvers for many years; now they are breaking into the concealed carry revolver market with a short-barrel double action (DA) revolver in .38 Special. Doing a visual, it looks very much like a throwback to a small-frame snub-nose that was introduced in 1950. As such, [...]

As the Summer travel season inches closer, Americans are more likely than at any other time of year to take to the road, sky, or water as part of their plans. Often this means crossing state lines, and if you intend to carry a self-defense weapon for some, or all of your trip, you must [...]

Martial Arts vs Combat Sports Finding the perfect martial art for self-defense can feel like an impossible task. Many people turn to disciplines like Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), Judo, Wrestling, Boxing, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) as means of protecting themselves and their loved ones. Practicing a martial art offers practitioners [...]

By Andy Grossman Self-defense is not for the weak because the weak become victims. The most important thing to remember in life is you can and must fight back. Even if the battle doesn’t seem possible, you must keep fighting for survival. An attacker doesn’t want a fight and 9 times out 10 they are [...]

Written by Chris Cypert Any set of gun handling rules worth abiding by include these two constants: Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and always keep your finger off the trigger until beginning the intentional act of shooting. These aren’t just “range rules,” but are prudent and essential gun handling rules to [...]

by Larry Weishuhn Hunting seasons looms on the horizon here in Texas. Mourning dove hunting is practically here. Big game seasons are opening elsewhere and numerous have already begun across North America. As this is being written, I’ve started packing for a moose hunt in British Columbia with Love Brothers & Lee. On that hunt [...]

Looking for a bit of a challenge? Might I suggest hunting wild hogs with a handgun and more specifically doing so with a Taurus Raging Hunter revolver! Why a pistol and why a revolver over some of the other handgun actions? With me it goes back to a time when I used to play “cowboys”, [...]

I often ponder how many actual models of pistols there are on the market? The number must be insane when you think of all these different manufacturers and how in today’s market each line of pistol that is released ends up having 10 or more variations after the original model is released. Using Taurus as [...]

Recently while scanning some “social media”, which I only do very occasionally, I found a photo of an older hunter with a really nice whitetail buck. The caption read, “Granddad, even at 69 is still getting it done!” That statement made it sound like he had escaped from his death bed or the “Old Folks [...]

My friend and hunt host, David Cotton, had just gotten his Mossberg Patriot Predator chambered in 6.5 PRC which he topped with a Trijicon 3-18x50 AccuPoint scope. That accomplished he headed to their ranch’s rifle range to sight-in with Hornady Precision Hunter 143-grain ELD-X at 100-yards.  He had just finished doing so when I arrived. Well [...]

Jessie Harrison Secures Victory at USPSA National Championships, Claiming Ladies Open National Championship Title   Bainbridge, GA – Renowned competitive shooter Jessie Harrison has once again demonstrated her exceptional skill and dedication, emerging victorious at the highly competitive USPSA National Championships. Harrison's outstanding performance earned her the prestigious title of Ladies Open National Champion, solidifying [...]

I was glassing thirteen bucks gathered around the “deer feeder”. A buck with extremely darkly stained hocks from his tarsal glands to his ankles, indicating maturity, had already shed his antlers. The other twelve were 8 to 10 points, likely two to four year olds. Yes…I was hunting from a raised deer blind watching a [...]

What’s better than getting more ammo and also saving money? Basically nothing, which is why the Taurus Small Frame Revolvers like the 856 and 605 have the most bang for your buck in the industry. At a price point that’s 200-300 dollars lower than competing brands, but with every bit the same quality, the small [...]

“Making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” I have heard that old saw for many years when someone referred to making something out of basically nothing! But there is certainly merit in what it means! Recently while visiting with Greg Simons, fellow wildlife biologist and wildlife entrepreneur with Wildlife Systems we talked about [...]

The Taurus 856 is a compact, lightweight, and reliable revolver designed for self-defense and concealed carry purposes. Its history dates back to the early 20th century when Taurus was founded in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1939. Initially, the company focused on manufacturing revolvers and then expanded its product line to include semi-automatic pistols and other [...]

For personal protection, a tool like a visible laser can have huge advantage. Let’s take a look at the benefits of a visible laser in these bullet points: Enhanced Target Acquisition: A visible laser provides a clear and precise aiming point, improving target acquisition in high-stress situations. It allows you to quickly and accurately align [...]

If there’s one thing that firearms enthusiasts love, it’s having even more guns today than they did yesterday. Or, to crib a line from The Matrix: “guns. Lots of guns.” That is one of the advantages of shopping with Taurus USA! From one company you could get a G3 Tactical, equipit with a light and [...]

What started as a dust storm, turned into misty rain followed by another red dust storm which resulted in a light mud coating on just about everything! The ride “home” of a “high-rack” added another layer of red western Texas dust. Back at camp, I grabbed a towel, removed the five 240-grain XTP Hornady rounds [...]

Over the week prior to Memorial Day, Taurus USA stepped up to sponsor one of the most historic matches in the shooting sports: The Bianchi Cup. Now run by the Civilian Marksmanship Program, the 2023 Bianchi Cup continues the tradition of this historic match, which first began in 1979. This is the first year that [...]

The day had been a good one. All in camp had seen elk. A few bulls were still bugling. One six by six was down, and would be packed out of the mountains in the morrow, after being hung to cool high in a pine. Supper had been delicious, resplendent with cherry and blueberry pies [...]

With the competition shooting season officially underway, shooters from Taurus USA have already wrapped up major wins in USPSA, Steel Challenge, and IDPA. The Steel Challenge – World Speed Shooting Championship Taurus kicked off the shooting season with a big win – the World Speed Shooting Championship, commonly known as The Steel Challenge. This match [...]

On this installment of Rise of the Bull, the tables have been turned and our marketing director, Cody Osborn, is being interviewed instead of doing the interviewing! Cody’s been in the firearms industry starting on the retail side selling guns in the shop, and then moving through sales and into marketing before landing with Taurus [...]

While revolvers may be considered obsolete by some, they’re also enjoying a resurgence in popularity. That also means that more and more people are buying support gear for their guns, including speed loaders. Let’s take a look at 5 reasons why if you’re going to carry a revolver you need speed loaders. What is a [...]

What are EDC knives? Well, the answer is right there in the name: Every day carry. To our mind, this can cover a lot of ground. Maybe an EDC knife is for self-defense, or maybe it's for general purpose use. Things like opening boxes, cutting tape, etc. Let's take a look at some of the [...]

A range bag is a type of bag that is specifically designed to carry firearms, ammunition, and shooting accessories to the shooting range. Range bags come in various shapes and sizes, with different features and compartments to accommodate different types of firearms and accessories. A typical range bag will have several compartments or pockets to organize and [...]

A weapon-mounted light is a tactical accessory that is attached to a firearm. Typically mounted on a handgun for home defense or concealed carry provide illumination in low-light situations. An excellent example is the Inforce Wild2 pistol light. These lights are often used by law enforcement and military personnel, but they are also popular among armed citizens [...]

Looking back, I could not help but laugh at myself. I had read several magazine articles about two fellow Texans, Murry and Winston Burnham and their ability to have “critters come when called” using mouth-blown “predator calls”. I was enthralled with being able to do the same. After saving some of the money earned that [...]

One of the toughest concealed carry challenges is how to carry when you have to tuck your shirt in. If we’re honest, most “CCW solutions” work best with an untucked, and while society’s dress code has become fairly casual, there are still occasions that may call for a tucked in shirt and to be armed. The first [...]

When it comes to every day carry (EDC), one of the most enduring debates is what size gun to carry. Should you carry a fullsize gun like a Taurus G3 Tactical, or are you better suited with something smaller and easier to conceal like the GX4 TORO? Well, as you might imagine, the answer is [...]

Today we’re taking a look at the concealed carry set up for one of the best competition shooters in the world, our own KC Eusebio. KC’s goal with his EDC is reliability first; when it’s time to pick a gun to defend his life, he moves away from double stack raceguns and goes with a [...]

One of the most frustrating experiences that a gun store employee can have is when a customer tells them that “I need a gun.” For what? Hunting? Concealed carry? Home defense? Often, this leads to the employee pulling down a selection of guns that cover a vast range of possible uses. Of course, if you [...]

“What is it with you and extremely old whitetails?” asked David Archer. We were standing next to an ancient 6-point, with a very narrow spread, I had just shot with my .454 Casull Taurus Raging Hunter. David had been just to the left of where his brother Craig, owner of Double AA Outfitters and I [...]

One of the constantly raging debates in the concealed carry community is whether or not your carry gun should have a manual safety. Many modern striker fired polymer framed guns, such as the GX4 family of pistols don’t have safeties. Neither do most revolvers, either. However, 1911 pattern pistols and certain models in the Taurus [...]

Testing the trigger on a gun that you’re looking to buy is important. You wouldn’t buy a car you hadn’t test driven, and you wouldn’t buy a gun that you hadn’t at least dry fired, right? But how can you make sure you’re testing the trigger correctly when you try it out? Luckily, we’re here [...]

The Case for Irons: “The optic is just another hanging off that gun that makes it harder to conceal” It’s very much a red dot world these days. Even very small carry guns, like the GX4 are now coming from the factory ready to receive a red dot. But that doesn’t mean there’s no place [...]

On previous episodes of Rise of the Bull, we’ve talked about the innovation we’re bringing. We’ve talked about attention to detail, and we’ve talked about employees who have risen through the ranks here at Taurus. Now we’re talking about something just as important: experience. If there’s one word that describes Shari Lynn-Fix, it’s that: experience. [...]

Let’s take a look at one of the massive improvements Taurus has made as a company, and that’s finishes. No, not finishing as in races, but rather the gas-nitride slide finish on the entire G3 series. What are the benefits of a gas-nitride finish? It hardens the metal, making it more resistant to wear and [...]

Selecting a concealed carry holster and position is a deeply personal experience. While there are general best practices for holster position and selection that have been established by the Phlster Concealment Principles, individual gear selection still must be tailored to that person. Jessie Harrison of Team Taurus has several options for concealed carry. Her primary option [...]

Welcome back to our fictional gun store, where we’re teaching you how to impress the employees by being safe and knowledgeable. Today we’re looking at one of the most common mistakes people make in the store: putting their finger on the trigger. We all know rule 2 of gun safety, right? “Keep your finger off [...]

Team Taurus’ Jessie Harrison entered the 2022 USPSA Racegun Nationals having gone 2 for 2 in National or higher-level tournaments this year.

Carrying that momentum through the Racegun Nationals [...]

“The deer census is completed and we’ve received our harvest recommendations for this coming hunting season from the local Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wildlife biologist.”  Read the text.  It continued, “Each of the lease holders is responsible for taking 8 does.” A few minutes later I called our lease leader/coordinator and told him I [...]

When choosing to carry a gun for self-defense, one of the first decisions you’ll have to make is how to carry your gun. The two most popular methods are Inside the Waistband (IWB) or Outside the Waistband (OWB). Let’s dive into the pros and cons of both systems. Right off the bat, it’s important to acknowledge that [...]

It’s time for Episode 3 of Rise of the Bull, and this time we’re shipping out for Bainbridge with Yenie Perezpuelles, manager of our shipping department. We’d say that she sits down for a 1 on 1 with Cody, but Yenie is so busy they didn’t have time to sit. Her story is a huge [...]

Team Taurus has been on a tear all of 2022. The squad, consisting of KC Eusebio, Jessie Harrison, and junior member Trent Eichler started hot and continues to rack up wins.

Today we’re taking a look at how the G3 series of pistols allows shooters like you to pick the perfect pistol for your needs. The G3 series starts with the full size gun at the top of the line, which is also available as the G3 Tactical. The G3 Tactical supports optic mounts, weapon mounted lights, [...]

Today we’re looking at the advantages or disadvantages of a short slide vs a long slide on a concealed carry gun. For example, both the G3c and the GX4 have XL versions which have a longer slide. But why would you want a longer slide on a small concealed carry gun? Two key reasons – [...]

Safe and clear Welcome back to our series on safely buying your first gun and making sure that the person selling you that gun thinks you’re cool.

Welcome to our Concealed Carry Debate article and video series located within our all-new Bullfighter Journal. Are you Team Revolver or Team Semi-Auto? Do you prefer the myriad of options and higher capacity available with a semi-auto pistol or the modularity and reliability of a revolver? If you carry concealed, this topic is most likely [...]

Welcome to our all-new Bullfighter Journal. You want to buy your first gun? Or, you’ve already went through the process and understand that the person selling you the gun has, well, seen some stuff. After years of standing behind the counter with the mentality of “The Customer is Always Right”—and biting their lip through some crazy [...]

“What are you doing this coming weekend?” asked a friend at our 2022 DSC Foundation Gala. “Going to depend upon whether or not I get the bid on a particular hunt I'm interested here in the auction.” I replied being a bit coy about what hunt I planned to bid on, even though I would [...]

The hot topic always comes to mind when looking at defensive pistols is the trigger. Let’s face it, we all know when you pick up a new pistol to try out, the first thing we do is rack the slide and test out the trigger. But, if you are new to pistols, some of the [...]

Project Home Safe For as long as there have been firearms, there has been the need to protect and educate our children when it comes to guns. One of the biggest problems we have today is that there is not enough firearms safety training for children. Rossi is as concerned about your children and their [...]

1 ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION This is the most basic safety rule. If everyone handled a firearm so carefully that the muzzle never pointed at something they didn’t intend to shoot, there would be virtually no firearms accidents. It’s as simple as that, and it’s up to you. Never point [...]

Basic keys to safe handling of firearms: KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FIRE. If you maintain good trigger discipline, it is extremely unlikely the firearm will fire. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. Even if the firearm discharges, if the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction, [...]
