Taurus revolver grips pt65 how to#
The instructions tell you how to compensate using the very tiny wrenches. You’ll instantly see the laser dot probably way high and too far left. Pick a nice light colored blank wall about 25′ away, turn on the laser and ‘aim’ the weapon. Getting the laser to beginning alignment with your iron sights will the the last step before going on to the range to really zero it in. If you have custom rubber grips or fancy wood type grips, there may be a little bit of trimming on the backside to accommodate the plate. Which are installed with the provided allen wrench. The instructions give you details on which of the 4 plates with the kit are for your specific weapon, along with the precise screws required. I was lucky in that the plate installed on the sight at the factory fitted my revolver. The two screws marked here are to be removed, the sight mounting in this spot. Starting out with your typical Taurus rubber grip revolver (or Smith & Wesson J frame), you remove them with the single screw on the right side.

Specialty screws, 4 custom mounting plates, batteries installed in the unit and 4 replacement batteries and the allen wrenches you’ll need for the complete job. The kit comes with all you’ll need for the job. The card is your INSTRUCTIONS! They will come in handy for mounting the sight. However, practice with either variety is the key to effective use.įor starters, DON’T cut the package open just whacking across the ‘card’ inside the pegboard hanging type package with your favorite big scissors. The sole disadvantage of this sight over the ‘grip style’ fancier and more expensive unit is the need to thumb the switch to turn on the sight vs just squeezing the grip contact switch, so it might be a bit slower to bring into action than the fancier units. The win dage and elevation of the sight are adjusted with tiny allen wrenches. The dual mode, from steady light to pulsing light, is selected by holding down the ‘on’ switch for about 5 seconds. Batteries are pre-installed and the unit comes with a spare set of batteries. The laser sight screws into the right side of the frame using the supplied custom mounting plates for various models. If you prefer to have a gunsmith do the job, it would only take them about 10 minutes, and perhaps you could get them to ‘bore sight’ the new laser to your weapon. No need for a gunsmith if you can work with tools and trust yourself with taking off the grips of your weapon. Wood or other custom grips would probably work, but require some tiny machining of the back side to accommodate the laser mounting plate. It’s for use on shootin’ irons with factory rubber grips or perhaps custom rubber grips with minor modification of the grips, fitting underneath the top of the grips. I figure the longer barrel with its greater potential of accuracy will be the best use of this accessory. Since I have both, I opted to slap it on my Taurus 66 B6. For less than $100, shipping included, you can strap a laser onto your favorite Taurus revolver or Smith & Wesson J-frame. So, I was surprised to see this little gem. There may have been one or two ‘grip style’ lasers on the market, but generally the price tag is a little steep for us low budget folks. Well, it seems the laser sight market is at last taking note of Taurus brand revolvers.
