Pamphylia, in ancient geography, was the region in the south of Asia Minor, between Lycia and Cilicia, extending from the Mediterranean to Mount Taurus.
Under the Roman administration the term Pamphylia was extended so as to include Pisidia and the whole tract up to the frontiers of Phrygia and Lycaonia, and in this wider sense it is employed by Ptolemy.
Pamphylia consists almost entirely of a plain, extending from the slopes of Taurus to the sea, but this plain, though presenting an unbroken level to the eye, does not all consist of alluvial deposits, but is formed in part of travertine.

 Gallery of Guns - Shooting Times - Gun Reviews
The titanium/vanadium alloy components used in Taurus revolvers are resilient, stronger, and more elastic than steel, and-unlike stainless steels or even aluminum-titanium is chemically inert and essentially impervious to corrosion.
The effectiveness of this system is illustrated by the fact that the ejector rods on the four-inch titanium Tracker models are the same length as the rods on the two-inch Total Titanium models.
As the Taurus Tracker family continues to grow, both in the list of titanium and stainless-steel versions, I believe it will have great appeal to hunters and outdoorsmen of all types, given the high level of accuracy and performance, near-indestructible construction, and extreme light weight.

 Taurus Raging Hornet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Ignition is the Key: The Taurus positive transfer-bar safety ignition system uses a flat-fronted hammer to transfer its force through an intervening piece of metal to a spring-loaded firing pin in the frame.
By comparison, the direct-impact hammer-ignition of older centerfire designs was lightweight, without sufficient mass to hold forward at the moment of ignition, allowing the rearward force of the fired case to kick hard enough against the firing pin to bounce the hammer.
On the Taurus revolvers, the entire combined masses of the heavier hammer and transfer bar provides sufficient inertial resistance to retard rearward case movement at the critical instant.
