The Ultra-Lite Titanium series pairs an aluminum alloy frame with a titanium cylinder to keep weight down while maintaining durability. This example uses a dark gray matte titanium cylinder that contrasts the matte two-tone finish on the frame and barrel assembly.
The 2 in barrel is ported and paired with a partial underlug that includes a lightening window. A knurled ejector-rod tip aids positive extraction, and the five-shot cylinder maintains the classic Model 85 profile.
Operation is DA/SA with an exposed hammer, giving the option of single-action trigger control when desired. Fixed sights include a serrated ramp front and an integral rear notch for a snag-resistant, straightforward sight picture.
Black Taurus rubber grips with finger grooves provide a secure hold on the micro-size frame. Markings include "TAURUS INT. MFG. – MIAMI, FL – USA" and "MADE IN BRAZIL," with assembly number 7840 visible on the yoke/crane.
