Notes
Due to the extremely light weight, felt recoil with .38 Special ammunition is significantly higher than steel-frame models. The Total Titanium is typically not rated for +P ammunition due to the reduced mass. The titanium finish is naturally resistant to corrosion and wear.
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.
