I've never had a company refuse an owners manual

[Nowhere Man]

OP here.

I purchased the gun used and it didn't come with a manual. No big deal, I just like to have it with the guns I own so I can refer to it when I have the gun out if I want to. I don't see a reason to start the computer and find a manufacturers website to read a manual when every other time I've called a manufacturer they've sent me a manual. I guess I'm old fashioned that way. And, yes, I know I can print it but who does?

The guy who answered the phone at Taurus was polite. I was simply told "No. The pdf is available online. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

I didn't consider it rude. It just surprised me which lead me to my posting.

I just save them to my desktop and print pertinent pages. I don't print the standard safety and disclaimers. Usually about 8 pages out of a 40 page booklet does everything I need to have hard copies of.

It's the 21st century.

Cutting down trees and grinding them into pulp so you can ship printed paper around as a way of sharing information is going the way of film photography, fax machines and buggy whips. I realize can be a bit of a surprise when it actually happens, but that's the way things are going.

I don't know the question but I REALLY like his ads.

Go to wwwstevespages.com and they have a manual on virtually every gun made. It's easy, fast, and free.

Inform them you lack an internet connection and have extremely bad safety habits, but extremely good lawyers.
I think they'll overnight one to you :3

This is 2011, there are plenty of places that don't have printed manuals anymore. Heck, my office and my wife's office are pretty paperless these days.

If you didn't know how to use a computer and they still refused to send you the manual, then there would be a real reason for this thread, but since this thread is on the internet and not a hand written letter to the editor, then you probably know how to use the computer.

It is just the way things are these days...I just read a newspaper article that Borders books is about to close 399 stores because they can't find a buyer and they are bankrupt. Actual printed items are more of a liability than an asset these days.
