Taurus "Protector"
- Thread starter Dr.Rob
- Start date
Wont find any owners yet
Although this gun has been in the catalog for months, it is not available for sale yet -- I called Taurus and asked. I think anticipated date for availability is November if I remember right.
I have the closest thing -- the 85 "Police" multi-alloy with concealed hammer -- but is is DAO. For what is worth, I love the gun. It is as smooth and accurate as a snubbie can be.

Actually the Protector is a traditional d/a. This is just Taurus's version of the Bodyguard J frame...I havent heard or seen anything first hand on them...they are supposed to be released in Dec..or so. Looks like a great little gun.

The Taurus 85 seems like a nice 38 snubbie my buddie has one and it seems too handle well an have a decent trigger pull.
According to the Taurus website, the Protector can be fired DA or SA.
I have wondered why they didn't come out with a copy of the shrouded hammer Bodyguard.
Now they have!
I would like to get a look at the Ultralite version.
I had the regular Ultralite, and I liked it a lot.
Wish I hadn't sold it.
I like the idea of being able to cock the hammer.

I looked at the 2002 Taurus catalog last night...
And "The Protector" looks pretty nice. It looks like a S&W model 636 Airweight. I think I remember it coming in a titanium version also. (I want one too!)
It isn't difficult to see just "who" Taurus has set their sights on. S&W better do something, and quickly. A complete and legal renouncement of that HUD agreement would be a good start.
