Taurus PT 800 Series pistols were designed with end user collaboration to satisfy the most rigorous firearm acceptance tests for Law Enforcement and military use. These firearms were designed to be fully ambidextrous, with easy and intuitive use. The trigger system and double action hammer system are reminiscent of the widely known Brazilian police forces’ traditional operation concepts. The PT 800 series pistols confer a sense of reliability and security in open or discreet use, for those in need of a modern semi-automatic pistol.
