Taurus

About

Taurus was founded in 1939 turning out their first gun 2 years later. They started as a tool manufacturer but focuses on firearms, body armor and civil construction. In 1980, after Italian arms manufacturer Beretta had completed its contracts to produce firearms for Brazil's military, Taurus purchased Beretta's São Paulo manufacturing plant along with the tooling, technical drawings, and work force necessary to produce several different pistol designs. This is why some of the Taurus pistols resemble Berettas.
