Description:
Taurus went into business making quality copies of Smith & Wesson revolvers, and their products have excelled the parent guns in quality, innovation, and most important for these days, price. Photo shows the first specimen we had of Taurus's descendant of the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard Model 49, the Taurus M851 CIA Protectos .38 Special 2 inch blue steel 5 shot revolver. For those not readily familiar with Smith & Wesson variant models, the original Model 49 Bodyguard was introduced in 1959, after the popular S&W Centennial enjoyed 7 years of successful marketing; but people still wanted a pocket revolver whose hammer spur would not snag, but that could be fired single action as well as double action. Taurus led the way in the 1980s, producing steel and alloy small frame revolvers that could withstand higher pressure +P loaded .38 Special ammunition, and this one certainly will. It weighs in at a conservative 23 1/2 ounces, comfortable handling and more pleasant to shoot. Finish is entirely lustrous Taurus blue steel, with factory Taurus pebble grained combat boot grip; hammer and trigger are traditional color casehardened. All Taurus revolvers have internal transfer bar safety that prevents accidental firing if they are dropped. This one has its patented Taurus hammer lock placed on the hammer spur, and it comes with two keys. This is at the same time one of the most traditional and most advanced revolvers on the market. Here is what Taurus says about these: Welcome the Taurus Protector, the handgun designed for personal protection. Protector features a fully shrouded zero profile hammer that can be manually cocked/decocked in single action operation when needed. Protector also functions smoothly in full double action. The Protector features the Taurus Security System built in at no extra charge and carries the Taurus unlimited lifetime repair policy. Unlimited lifetime repair policy included. These aren't easy to come by. Replacement price in our area, if a person can even find one, is well over $400. The Smith & Wesson 649s are $700 apiece or more. We're offering the 851 Blue Steel, however, Taurus product number 2-851121, for only $ 289.00 Not transferable to civilians in California, District of Colombia, or Massachusetts.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
GA Pay buyers are NOT charged until we confirm we have the item and are ready to ship it. The same thing is true for phone-in, fax-in, and mail-in payments. In this respect, and in several others, Guns America outshines all its competitors. This is the best firearms website there is, hands down.
