Notes: This is a special edition Taurus revolver designed for Cowboy Action shooting, and designed to look very similar to the Colt Single Action Army. It is a single-action revolver made of heavy steel and having composite checkered grips with the Taurus insignia in the place on the grips where the Colt insignia normally would be. The Gaucho uses the later cylinder latch feature of the Colt SAA, the one used after the conversion to smokeless powder. The cylinder is removed from the frame merely by depressing the base pin, instead of a screw having to be removed first like on the original Colt SAA. The fit and finish of the Gaucho are excellent, with all parts operating smoothly and cleanly. The finish is polished stainless steel, a finish which looks like that of a nickel-plated Colt SAA while offering greater corrosion resistance. The Gaucho may use both blackpowder and smokeless powder.

Notes: A modified Taurus Model 17, the Instant Backup is a snubby revolver primarily designed for .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire and .17 Mach 2 Rimfire, but also available in 9mm Parabellum. The finish may be blued or matte stainless steel, and the grips are of checkered rubber. The design is "hammerless", with the hammer barely visible when it is down. The rear sight is a simple trough in the top strap, while the front sight is a low ramped blade. The weapon is made of steel, and has a transfer bar safety. It is surprisingly heavy, which aids in controllability. The barrel is a tiny 1.75 inches.

Twilight 2000 Notes: These revolvers are not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Notes: This member of the Tracker family fires .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire ammunition. The Model 17 Tracker is similar to other members of the Tracker series, with Taurus-pattern rubber grips (known as Ribber grips), a matte stainless steel finish, an adjustable rear sight, a front sight which may be removed and replaced with another if desired (the standard is a ramp-and-blade type with red insert for visibility), and a heavy 6.5-inch barrel with a ventilated sighting rib. As a matter of fact, the mouth of the barrel is so tiny as to appear comical!

A newer version, the Model 17C UltraLite, has a light alloy frame; this alloy is advertised on the Taurus website as "nearly indestructible." The Model 17C has a stubby 2-inch barrel with a shrouded ejector rod that also strengthens the barrel. However, as of late 2008, the Model 17C has been discontinued.

Notes: This is a high-caliber Taurus revolver, roughly equivalent to the Smith & Wesson 29. The 44 has a barrel compensator to help fight barrel climb, but is more lightly built than the S&W 29. The version with the 12-inch barrel is typically known as the Hunter model.

Notes: Another basic sort of police-type revolver, the Model 83 features a 4-inch heavy ribbed barrel, half-length ejector rod shroud, and large wooden grips. The front sight is Patridge-type, and the rear sight is micrometer-adjustable. A medium-frame revolver, it was introduced in 1977 and may still remain in production, though it was taken off the international market in 2001. The original finish was blue, though they could also had in nickel plating, and in 1993 a stainless steel model, the Model 83SS, was introduced.

Notes: This is a Brazilian snub-nosed revolver. It was popular as a backup gun with US police departments, especially among older officers who were used to revolvers. The revolver, as introduced in 1980, is blued or nickel-plated steel (with stainless steel as an option after 1993) and has a ported ribbed barrel of 2, 3 or 4 inches (though the 4-inch barrel was discontinued in 1992), with a fixed rear sight. It had a hard rubber grip, but in 1996, this was changed to an Uncle Mike’s Boot grip.

In 1997, Taurus introduced the Model 85UL (Ultra Light), with a light alloy frame. Since 1999, Taurus has also offered the Model 85 Total Titanium, with a titanium alloy frame, cylinder, and barrel. In 1999, a double-action-only version of the basic steel model with a shrouded hammer was also introduced. (This is identical to the standard Model 85 for game purposes.) In 2000, another version was introduced, the Model 85 Police Ultra Light Titanium, with a titanium barrel and cylinder. It is the lightest version, but can still fire +P cartridges.

Twilight 2000 Notes: All of these but the basic steel Taurus 85 are not available.
