About the Gun

The Taurus DT Hybrid series semiauto pistols are built on a polymer-over-steel frame and chambered in 9mm or .40 SW. Features include a strike two-capable trigger; i.e., if the primer ever fails to ignite when firing in single-action mode, the gun reverts to double action mode to provide a potentially life-saving second or third try at a faulty cartridge. The pistol will then automatically revert back to single action mode. This pistol also features contoured ambidextrous thumb rests and finger indexing memory pads that offer added purchase. The ambidextrous magazine release makes this pistol work for left- or right-handed shooters, and the rear sight is fully adjustable. Offered with a blued or matte stainless finish, the pistol includes a manual safety, a visual loaded chamber indicator, a trigger safety and the key-based Taurus Security System.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed as a joint venture between Winchester and Smith & Wesson. It was an effort to to create a cartridge with the same power as the 10mm Norma round that the FBI had just started using, but in a shorter case. The shorter cartridge would facilitate accuracy and allow use of a smaller, more comfortable grip frame. The .40 S&W has become the cartridge of choice for many law enforcement agencies in the United States.
