I actually prefer the Taurus to the Beretta on this design, and I do not like Taurus guns.

I used to have an old model Taurus 92AF. I chose it over a Beretta 92 because of the steel frame and frame mounted safety.
I sold it off about 10 years ago because I wasn't shooting it. Kind of regret that now. |

I hate slide mounted safeties. I'd pick the Taurus over the Beretta any day.

While the frame-mounted safety is nice, I still wouldn't trade my Beretta for a Taurus.
Oddly enough, I think I've put more rounds through my friend's Taurus than I've put through my own 92. |

We have several of both and they have all served well, no problems or complaints.
IMHO, the 92/99-series guns are the best semi-autos Taurus makes. That said, IMO the only reason to choose the Taurus over the Beretta outside of price considerations is if you hate/refuse to have a slide-mounted safety (not an issue for me, but I know it is for some). |

92FS every day of the week and twice on Sundays
Taurus is much better now than they used to be, but I still trust Beretta a lot more still the correct answer is either CZ or Glock

The 92 pattern gun is stupid as hell. A lawyer designed it. DA/SA is silly and gets people killed.
The Beretta goes with the completely stupid slide mount safety, but other than that it is a decent gun (ignoring the fact that it is huge for a 15 round 9mm, G19 hello) The Taurus is a Taurus, but at least it has a frame mounted safety. Either guns are novelties. Its criminal that we issue these guns.

I would like the Taurus model, but it's a bitch to find one without a rail. I never put anything on the rails, so the only thing they do it make it a pain in the ass to find a holster for the gun.

The Beretta's slide mounted safety is annoying but not insurmountable and quite honestly I wouldn't trade Beretta for Taurus build quality for that one feature.
I'll take a G17 over either though, KThx

A friend of mine had a Taurus 92. It refused to feed anything but ball ammo(on a good day), was the most finicky thing you've ever seen when it comes to magazines(90% of the ones tried didn't work for one reason or another), and then one day the locking block split in half.

I'll admit that the B92 feels a lot bigger in the hand (to me at least) but in reality they are closer in size than most would think.  ETA: Just for the record, I am a big-time "Glock guy" and carry a G19 every day. |

Yeah, yeah, I know. I like my Sig 226. None of that shit. Actually, French (Arcadians) make many of the S&W/Walthers. Yeah, Aroostook county Maine is predominantly French. |

Beretta M92A1s come with 17rd mags, 92FS will follow after they run out of 15rd mags. 18rd OEM mags are available now too. So you get one more round in a metal gun of approximately the same size with a good trigger instead of one that breaks like a stale Twizzler. |

A broken in Beretta has the smoothest slide that I have ever felt. Never handled the Taurus version but their guns have been roughly finished but reliable in my experience.

Berettas are nice.........Taurus is shit.
Frame vs Slide mounted safety.......is it so important you buy a total shitpiece instead of a well made gun? I never understood the big deal about the slide mounted safety anyway. I always reached it just fine. but it didn't matter anyway as I carried it hammer down, weapon on fire. |

I chose the Taurus PT-99F over the Beretta because of the frame mounted safety. It has been a very reliable pistol over the years, with the only problems encountered due to the Ramline mag I was trying at the time. With Taurus mags, never a misfeed with any type of ammo.

M&P9 full size. Glorious. I've got the 40, but a 9mm barrel for it is on short order.
I can't stand Taurus as a company, and I can't stand Beretta 92's because I hate the way they feel, and shoot, and their stupid safety. Sig makes the only DA/SA worth a damn (CZ doesn't count because you can just carry them in condition one, CZ's are excellent). I'm also starting to believe that the M&P9c is better than a G19...
