In 1980, Taurus purchased the Beretta factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil "lock, stock and barrel" and immediately sought to improve on the Beretta design, resulting in the popular and acclaimed Taurus 92 and 99 9mm pistols. Taurus' specially designed drop hammer forged ordnance grade alloy frame won't crack or allow the slide to come off. Other innovations include a three position frame mounted ambidextrous safety, which is more secure than a slide mounted safety, and allows for a classic SA "cocked and locked" mode, as well as functioning as a DA decocking lever. Available in fixed sight model 92 and in adjustable sight model 99, you'll be able to face any situation without compromise.

The Taurus PT92 is a fan favorite for a few reasons. One it has a large magazine relative to it's size. Also, I really love how it's safety operates, especially since I'm a gunowner that's a parent. Lastly, it has the typical Taurus reliability and accuracy. Our overall thoughts: the Taurus PT92 is great!
