This applies to the Taurus P 85 revolver Your gun may
be different check your owners manual
Don't take my word for it

I took this from another forum please read this concerning transferr safety
As you pull the trigger, the transfer bar automatically comes up to
bridge the gap between the hammer and firing pin ( firing Position).

So, to decock, face a safe direction, and you'd need to firmly hold
the hammer between thumb and index finger of your weak hand, and pull
the trigger with strong hand. As soon as the hammer starts to move forward,
release the trigger, lowering the transfer bar, and allow the hammer to come down.
Lower the hammer slow and easy keep your thumb on the hammer until it is down fully
Unload the revolver, and work the action in single and double action mode... it will be pretty clear.
Welcome to wheel guns, I carry a Model 85 all the time.

Note if you continue to pull the trigger as you slowly decock the transferr safety will remain in the up
firing position. A drop in this position can cause an accidental discharge

The transferr bar must be in the down position to be safe when you carry

Note some revolvers have a hammer block this works the opposite way from a transfer bar

If you are not sure check with the manafacturer before you ever put a round in the cylinder
