Notes

The .32 H&R Magnum provides adequate stopping power with very light recoil, making it ideal for the ultra-lightweight titanium frame. The 731's small size and light weight make it popular for pocket carry and backup gun roles. Also chambers .32 S&W Long for reduced-recoil practice.

Background

Taurus's revolver manufacturing expertise traces back to their acquisition of the Smith & Wesson factory in Brazil, giving them access to decades of refined revolver-building knowledge that continues to influence their designs today.
