What's going on with that base pin?
What's going on with that base pin?
On one of the pictures on the site it shows, "Taurus Armas / Made in Brazil" on the right side of the gun. Which would make sense given Brazil's prior experience manufacturing SAA type guns under the "Gaucho" name.Originally Posted by Noah

Looks like a safety pin that can be pushed all the way in to prevent the hammer from striking the transfer bar, with 2 detent positions.
I think its for some kind of import requirement for a safety or something. Some Italian imports do it.
But thats just a wild guess
On FB Caleb said it has four clicks on cocking.

parts are fabricated in Brazil, assembled in the USA. Not an eye-tie import, and most importantly has a transfer bar safety so you can carry with six on board
I am going to snag one of the .357 versions with the 4.75" barrel. I'll bring it to Tac-Con and see if Doc Barranti will make me a rig for it.
I have absolutely no legitimate use for this other than having stupid amounts of fun at the range with friends. We can all take turns yelling "Fill your hands you son of a *****!"
If @jlw is able to attend, we'll let him take first crack at it.

This looks like it was a lot of fun to be a part of; @jetfire, is this a different finish? And I assume most SAA-clone grips will (may/should?) fit?
Modern SAA clone grips will fit. Dimensionally, the gun is basically the same size as a modern Colt SAA, so it's smaller than the Vaquero by a bit
