The Taurus 92 is modeled on the previous version of the Beretta 92; there are Beretta 92s out there w/ a frame safety/decocker instead of the slide safety.
Unfortunately, the Taurus 92 doesn't take the same magazines as the Beretta 92, due to the mag catch being slightly off. The Girsan Regard appears to be a direct copy of the Beretta 92F w/ the slide mounted safety. Does it take standard Beretta 92 magazines? |

The one gun Taurus did right is the 92 copy. I do like the thumb safety but overall you will get better quality and backing with Beretta than Taurus, personal experience. The Beretta, in my opinion, seems more refined and the action seems smoother. On the Girsan, I don't care for the finger grooves but some people might welcome with change.

I have 3 Berettas and a Taurus PT-99. The action is ball bearing slick on the Taurus just as it is on the Beretta. The trigger is just as good abiet heavier but I haven't put the lower power hammer spring in the Taurus like I have the Beretta. The Taurus does have the frame mounted safety. The only down side I see to the Taurus is the mags are a little different. But MecGar does make the same versions and they are readily available. You will have a MUCH better customer service experience with Beretta IF it is ever needed. I'm not familiar with the other pistol. |

The Taurus can be modified to work off of Beretta magazines. The magazine catch needs to be reshaped to work.

One of the first pistols I bought was a PT92 while I was a broke college kid. I worked at an indoor range and got to shoot a lot. I beat the snot out of that gun and it never missed a beat. I wish I still had it. I feel like I remember standard Beretta 92 mags worked in mine, though I could be misremembering. This would have been around 1997, did Taurus make a change to the mag catch or have they always been different?

Taurus makes a good gun with the pt92 since its made on old Beretta equipment. The problem is though if anything ever goes wrong with the Taurus you're stuck with their crappy cs.
