WARNING concerning ammunition marked “+P” and “+P+”. Recently there have been manydevelopments by ammunition manufacturers and reloaders, not all of them good. It seems someammunition manufacturers and reloaders are in a horsepower race to see who can develop themost case pressure and muzzle velocity with little regard for practicality or safety. Some of theseloads exceed common sense and can virtually tear metal apart. Taurus Firearms rated for “+P”ammunition are rated for Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI)compliant “+P” ammunition. SAAMI does not recognize any “+P+” ammunition at all. It isDANGEROUS to fire “+P+” ammunition in any Taurus firearm and if you do so you may beseriously injured or killed.In addition, it seems some ammunition marked “+P” is not SAAMI compliant either. There areonly four calibers that can carry a “+P” rating from SAAMI. They are 38 Special +P, 9mmLuger +P, 38 Super Automatic and 45 Automatic +P. There are no other SAAMI approved “+P”loads. Any ammunition in any other caliber marked “+P” is not SAAMI compliant, may bedangerous and should not be used.DANGER for “+P+”Never use “Plus -P -Plus” (+P+) rated ammunition in any Taurus firearm. The SportingArms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) does not recognize such ratings andsuch ammunition can be very dangerous. Firing such ammunition can cause catastrophic failurein firearms resulting in serious bodily injury or death.WARNING for “+P”Only fire SAAMI rated Plus P (“+P”) ammunition in Taurus Models designated by Taurus for +Puse, as below. Firing +P ammunition in other Taurus products may be dangerous and can result inserious bodily injury or death.Model 85 small frame revolver in 38 Special.Model 850 small frame revolver in 38 Special.Model 851 small frame revolver in 38 Special.Model 85 Polymer small frame revolver in 38 Special.Model 82 medium frame revolver in 38 Special.Model 817 medium frame revolver in 38 Special.All firearms chambered in 38 Super Automatic.All firearms chambered in 45 Automatic.

Suchpressures may affect the useful life of the firearm or exceed the margin of safety built into manyfirearms. Unless you need +P ammunition, do not use it, particularly for practice.CAUTIONDischarging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition mayresult in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm,and other serious physical injury.
