What Is in the BoxTaurus Tracker revolverowner's manual Why Choose a RevolverA double-action revolver has a simple manual of arms: load the cylinder, close it and pull the trigger. There is no slide to rack, no magazine to seat and no safety lever to remember, and a misfire is cleared by simply pulling the trigger again to bring up the next chamber. Revolvers also handle a wide range of bullet weights and shapes, from light target wadcutters to heavy hollow points, because they do not rely on recoil energy to cycle. Loading and UnloadingPress the cylinder release forward and swing the cylinder out to the left. Point the muzzle up and push the ejector rod firmly to clear all the cases at once, then point the muzzle down to load fresh rounds by hand or with a speed loader or speed strip. Close the cylinder gently by hand rather than flicking it shut, which protects the crane and timing over the long run. Choosing AmmunitionUse the cartridge stamped on the barrel, and practice with the same load you plan to carry or hunt with so you know where it hits and how it recoils. Lighter target loads are fine for range sessions, while defensive or hunting loads should be tested for accuracy and point of impact before you rely on them. Care and MaintenanceClean the bore and each chamber after shooting, and wipe the front of the cylinder and the forcing cone where carbon builds up. A light coat of oil on the exterior protects the finish. Buying From BattleHawk ArmoryThis revolver ships to the licensed FFL dealer of your choice.
