Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the Taurus TH10 and TH45?

The Taurus TH10 and TH45 share the same frame, with the primary distinction being the caliber. The TH10 is chambered in 10mm Auto, while the TH45 is in .45 ACP. This results in a minimal weight difference of only about half an ounce between the two models.

What does Taurus state about Plus P ammunition in their manual?

Taurus's manual specifies that only four calibers are SAMMI-approved for Plus P ammunition: 38 Special +P, 9mm Luger +P, 38 Super Automatic, and 45 Automatic +P. Any other caliber marked +P is not SAMMI compliant and may be dangerous.

How does the Taurus TH10 handle different firing modes?

The TH10 offers versatility with three firing modes: a safety for cocked-and-locked carry, a decocker for a double-action first shot followed by single-action, or a combination of decock and safety engaged for secure carry.

What is the chamber support like on the Taurus TH10?

The Taurus TH10 features a fully supported chamber. This design is advantageous as it helps contain any forces from potential casing ruptures, directing them forward out of the barrel rather than towards the shooter's hand.
