| I just got back from my local gunshop with my new stainless PT92AFShave, and did not like it. The Taurus caught my eye. The frame safety is much better in my opinion, I am usually a 1911 guy. I also left with 300 rounds of ammo, a Galco holster, and 4-17 round magazines. Hopefully I will get to shoot it tomorrow, if so, I'll post my first impressions. |
| I just bought a PT92 myself three days ago. I was looking to get a Beretta 92 and they had many Taurus handguns. I looked at both and did a little more homework and went back and got the PT92 for $375.00. They wanted $650.00+tax for the Beretta. I went with the Taurus. It is a DAMN FINE handgun. Very accurate and a pleasure to shoot. I cannot see spending $300 more for the Beretta. |
| The Taurus PT92 is a damn fine handgun. I have had mine for a couple of years and it has never had any failures with a wide variety of ammo. I got mine at a gunshow for $325 with two 10 round mags (during the ban). I like the safety/decocker on the Taurus alot better than the Beretta/M9, much better IMO. |
Or just call taurus and tell them about it, They have great customer service. |

i jsut got a pt 92 lastweek and i love it. it shoots great and cycles ammo perfectly. the one problem i have with it is that it sometimes gets jammed up and i cant feild strip it. i put the switch down and the slide wont slide forward. it feels like its getteing caught on somehting inside. am i doing something wrong or did i put it back together wrong? any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. thanks Kevin |
Not sure what your problem is, here is what I do though: -Remove the mag -pull back and lock the slide -verify it is unloaded -push the button on the right forward side and flip the slide switch down -Hold the slide and push the slide release -let it go forward slowly and you should be able to go right off the front with the slide. Mine is a 2002 model, if yours is older it may be different. |
