Description
The 10mm crowd has been waiting for a hammer-fired option that doesn't cost a fortune, and Taurus delivered with the TH10. Built on the proven full-size TH platform, this is a DA/SA pistol chambered for one of the hardest-hitting semi-auto cartridges you can carry, whether that's on your hip in the backcountry or on the nightstand at home. The 15+1 capacity is a real standout here. Plenty of full-size 10mm pistols top out at 8 or 9 rounds, so getting nearly double that in a gun that weighs under two pounds unloaded is a big deal.
Why the TH10 Runs a Hammer
The DA/SA action gives you a deliberate double-action first pull followed by crisp single-action shots, and the ambidextrous thumb safety doubles as a decocker. That means you can carry hammer down for a revolver-style first trigger press or cocked and locked like a 1911, whichever suits you. A firing pin block and loaded chamber indicator round out the safety features. Hammer-fired guns also tend to soak up recoil a touch smoother than strikers, which matters when you're feeding it full-power 10mm loads.
Built for Real Use, Not the Display Case
The 4.25 inch stainless barrel rides in an alloy steel slide with a matte black finish and grippy serrations, while the polymer frame keeps overall weight manageable at 27.5 ounces. Novak drift-adjustable front and rear sights sit in industry-standard dovetails, so swapping in night sights down the road is simple. The textured grip has gentle finger grooves and stippling panels, and interchangeable backstraps let you dial in the fit for your hand. An accessory rail up front handles your light or laser.
Getting Started with the Taurus TH10
Taurus includes two 15-round magazines plus a mag loader, which your thumbs will appreciate with stout 10mm springs. For anyone curious about the cartridge, wanting a woods gun that hits like a magnum revolver but reloads like a pistol, or just adding a big-bore option to the safe, the TH10 covers a lot of ground without emptying your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Taurus TH10 be carried cocked and locked?
Yes. The ambidextrous thumb safety doubles as a decocker, so you can carry it cocked and locked like a 1911 or decock it and start with a double-action first pull. That flexibility is one of the biggest selling points of the TH series.
Is the TH10 a good choice for a woods or bear defense gun?
It's a solid pick for the trail. Loaded properly, 10mm delivers energy in the .357 to .41 Magnum range, and the TH10 gives you 15+1 rounds in a package lighter than most big-bore revolvers. The rail also lets you add a light for camp use.
Can I swap the sights on the Taurus TH10?
You can. Both the front and rear Novak sights sit in industry-standard dovetails and are drift adjustable for windage. That makes upgrading to night sights or fiber optics down the road a straightforward job.
Will the TH10 handle full-power 10mm loads?
Yes, the recoil spring and guide rod are purpose-built for the 10mm cartridge rather than borrowed from a smaller chambering. Owners report it cycles everything from standard 180 grain range ammo to heavy 200 grain loads reliably. The hammer-fired design also helps keep the recoil impulse manageable.
