Taurus new DA Tracker revolver brings the advantages of titanium to handgun hunters and even rifle hunters who are looking for a close-quarters companion gun. If Taurus has plans to move any faster than it has been lately, its going to need warp drive. Hard on the heels of the recent industry-stunning introduction of its extensive Total Titanium and MultiAlloy line of snubnose law enforcement and personal-defense revolvers in six different chamberings and two frame sizes, the Brazilian-based manufacturer has now brought forth a new Titanium Tracker series of medium-frame, target-sighted, full-featured, four-inch, all-titanium revolvers for sport, field, and handgun hunting. Originally planned for public introduction at the canceled NRA Show in Denver the first weekend in May 1999, just as the first commercial shipments of the initial Total Titanium and MultiAlloy guns began to arrive in-country, the Titanium Tracker lineup will initially include a five-shot .41 Magnum Model 441TT and a seven-shot .357 Magnum Model 617TT. Both will be available in a choice of Matte Spectrum Blue or the new Stealth Gray finish. Five-shot .45 Colt and five-shot .44 Special four-inch models will follow if customer interest warrants. Other chamberings may also be developed, and the company is considering the introduction of matte stainless versions of the Tracker configuration for those who prefer the additional weight of conventional steel. Technically, the new Titanium Tracker models should be considered an extension of the Total Titanium series. They employ the same total-titanium construction in every major part and componentframe, cylinder, yoke, barrel, studs, and pins. They offer the same advanced metallurgical and design features as the fixed-sight snubnose Total Titanium guns. And, like all other Taurus titanium-component models, the Trackers feature the key-activated Taurus Security System hammer lock. Whats different is the added benefit of a new-for-Taurus full-profile, integrally ported, four-inch titanium barrel design plus topstrap frame modifications to accommodate a heavy-duty, precision-adjustable rear sight, which, as I found out during my range testing, resulted in a surprisingly high level of accuracy. Truly A Trailblazer All Titanium Tracker models have titanium frames, sideplates, yokes, and barrels that are drop-forged in Tauruss metallurgical facility outside Sao Paulo, Brazil. The titanium cylinders and titanium internal studs are CNC-machined from extruded titanium barstock. Taurus acknowledges that in spite of the Total Titanium label applied to the entire family of these guns, not every part is actually made of titanium. Instead, the companys catalogs and promotional flyers note that the Total Titanium concept means "every component that can and should be made of titanium, is made of titanium."
