Did anyone else notice the intro says Taurus pt 1911 review?
HighReady To me that says he doesn't know what he is talking about completely ( not an authority ) . ' Not good for concealed carry ' ; not true . CC a Beretta 92 successfully for years .
totally caught that.
I owned both the Glock and the Taurus, I liked my Taurus so much, I gave the Glock to a friend of mine. Buy a Glock, you're just buying a name in my opinion. Yea I've seen all the videos of Glocks buried in mud, shooting underwater all the crap. Who treats a gun like that anyway? When I spend hard earned money on something, I take real good care of it, not bury it in the mud.........lol
You're trippin..I just traded this gun in for a brand new gen 3 glock 17 and the glock is far superior to this gun.i always thought glocks were hype,I was WRONG
It is a big gun but I carried one for close to 20 years under by suit jacket without anyone knowing it was there. But people just don't wear suits everyday as much anymore. I purchased mine back in the mid 1980's and it has ambi safety and a lanyard. Also as far as I know Taurus has always had the safety like the 1911 since right after taking over from Beretta on the Brazil military gun contract. Beretta is the one that changed the location of the safety by the request of the US government for the military contract if I remember my gun history right. One thing is for sure you just can't beat the PT92 for the price and the finnish is fine plus they are going to get banged up if you use it anyway. Plus, you can have it Cerakoted and then you don't have to worry about it anymore. That's what I did to mine after carrying it for almost 30 years and now it look better than ever!
I have owned a Taurus mod 99 AF around 20 years now, the finish still looks good,I've put about 5000 rounds through it without a hiccup.I bought this pistol because the dealer was out of Beretta's and have no regrets.
I have a Taurus PT 99, it was made in May of 1981 in Brazil. It has the same features as your Taurus PT 92, it only came with one magazine 15 round. Great gun and it has been very good on the type of ammunition that I put into it.
Have had mine for over 20 years. 99 version. No lazer rail. No decocker. No mag lock. Safety is on frame. Wood grips. 18 rd mags. Has lanyard. Shoots great. Two stove pipes in thousands of rounds with factory reloads. My wife with small hands shoots easily, and, terribly BETTER than me. Very accurate. Springs were supposed to fail, but mine never did. Fantastic gun. Cost over $400 back then, so great price now.
I purchased my first Taurus pistol in this series in the mid-1990s. Made in 1986 it was the PT 99, same as the PT 92 but with an adjustable rear sight. I now own a PT 92 made in the late 1990s. It has the de-cocker which the original did not have. Both pistols have always run flawlessly. I used the PT 99 to train for my license to carry and for qualifications.
I totally agree with what you said about what comes to mind when you hear 9mm. I think of one of these immediately.
Just bought this gun from a friend, my first firearm. Trying to learn anything and everything about it and this was useful. Thanks dude.
Matt, I went ahead and ordered one of these today. I cannot wait to get it to the range! Thank you for the review!
@ NeverEnuffAmmo Great info. Being a Marine and using the Beretta as my side arm for 4 yrs I was a bit iffy on going with the Taurus but feel pretty confident after watching your review when i get the time to go pick one up i wont be disappointed.
I got the stainless steel version of this gun, my first gun i ever bought myself, but not the first i've shot. (that was a kit made 1911 .45, which i also now own)
and i fucking love it. it looks beautiful as fuck, shoots spectacular, and is just a damn manly gun. people say taurus suck, i just laugh at them and walk away.
Good review! I had a PT99, same as a PT92 with addition of adjustable sights. It was made in 1985 and had an ambidextrous safety but no decocker. It was equally reliable and accurate.
very informative. Thank you for a great review
I agree about what you said about Taurus factory finish. Any Taurus I get I always send it to Robar to get new finish. Got my PT-92 and PT-809C refinished by Robar.
,Good video man, I've actually have been looking for a good video on this gun. and you so happen to do a video on it. Thanks for the info. It was very helpful.
One of the best handguns I've ever bought. Be warned it'll fit and feed a Beretta Mag, but will jam appropriately. If you use the standard Taurus mags the gun is meant for, the thing runs without stopping forever. I've put at least 4000 rounds through mine and it's still firing.
Your presentation is like setting at a table you and me just talking. Good job and review
I just subbed. I have a Taurus 92 it is a great hand gun and I know that I have put well over 3 or 4 thousand rounds threw it. I have had no problems with it at all. I pick it up from a pawn shop her in Alaska they had it for $350. When I looked at it I wanted them to field strip it for me and the sales person said that he did not know how to do that. With the maniger of the store over there watching I took the weapon apart for them. It was filthy looked like it had never been cleaned. After seeing that I offered $200 for it and at first the maniger said no. I put it back togather and went to leave and the maniger said that he would take it. After about an hour of cleaning she looked new again. It is a very good gun.
Alaska Fred
Most gun shops will not clean a gun. It is the responsibility of the transfer-er/buyer. Which finish did you purchase? Stainless or black?
I picked up a used Taurus PT99 AF 9mm, replaced the wood grips with hogue grips, took it to the range and its very accurate and reliable.
I bought a Taurus PT92 today, I LOVE it!!! It is my 5th firearm, and I just got into guns 4 months ago, this is now my favorite home defense/range gun!
Just bought a PT92 and a Model 66 from Taurus based on your reviews. My favorite two that I own. Thanks brother!
Awsome Review ! i got my taurus pt92 in stainless steel, did alot of research b 4 buying it, this review was the turning point in my purchase, got also the "NC star" cost efficient tactical light that is VERY compatible with the Pt92. THANKS !!
Great review/vid as usual! I love the way the M9 style pistols feel in the hand. I've always been curious about the Taurus PT92, I was just always to lazy to do any research on it lol.
I've been considering this gun for a while.. thanx for the video.
Excellent review. Nice work.
taurus never wore the safety on the slide, it has always been on the frame. I had both first production PT92 and PT100. both were frame mounted
Great review! Nicely done! I found it professional, objective and insightful. Keep it up man! :)
Thanks, glad ya liked it
NICE REVIEW. THANKS
Great Review! thanks!
Thats great, glad ya liked the video, thanks 4 watching
Great gun and great review.
Bought a nice used one 2 week's ago.Has the frame mounted safety but no de-cocker. Serial # look-up say's it was a 1986 production. Awesome shooter. Great gun.
Thanks for the info.
Congrats bro
the one that i have has wood grips. they look great and have a good feel in my hand. great review by the way
@TheAgeOfExploration Thanks alot, glad u liked it bro!
Picked up the PT100 40 S/W one up from Buds for $475.00 and just waiting for the FFL transfer to go through. I carried a Berretta in the Army and when I was an armorer as a contractor I worked on the Berretta 9's a bunch and learned to love the weapon and its reliability. Thanks for this video because not to many reviews on you tube go into detail on this particular weapon.
Thats great, glad ya like the pistols
Great review! Folks kept on telling me to buy Glock handguns and no doubt they're awesome handguns, but I've always wanted something like the M9. I'm an Air Force vet and I know the M9 is the gun we use. I had a tight budget so I didn't want to purchase a brand new Beretta so I researched and saw a Taurus PT92, along with looking at your review. I shot both at a range (M9 and the older PT92 model I bought for $325) and they both shot great. Thanks for the review!
Just bought one of these chromed at a gun show for 440, little over priced imo but lookin Forward to seeing the performance of this fine handgun
@fredhart No problem, thanks 4 checkin it out
nice vid gonna pick one up for sure
great review on Taurus PT 92 also good review on Taurus Model 66 357 Magnum. I'm planning to get one
Was tempted on one of these when they went on sale for $299.99 new a while back (iirc). More interested in the all stainless version though, but I HATE the overly shiny frame and controls. I wish Taurus still made the "Combat" version with the all matte grey finish.
nice review, I just picked one up.
great video man keep up the good work I'm either gonna get the pt-92 or the Beretta 92 fs but where i live 200 bucks separates them so not sure yet on which i will get
Thanks for the video. I have the stainless version on order to use as a range gun and possibly carry in a shoulder holster in cooler weather. $400+ tax while the black Beretta was $585. I hope I have as much luck with mine as you did with yours although I won't be shooting it as much.
@x16 Does it have the safety on the slide or on the frame? If it has the lanyard ring chances are it is one of the earlier models, either late 80's or early 90's when they were identical to the Beretta.
@bo7451 Glad the review helped, I love the M9/92 style pistol, I thinks it's the ultimate platform for the 9mm round. Glad u liked the Taurus, they're great guns, and $325 is a great price for one!
I really agree with your assessments. I am a novice with competitive handguns (less than 2 years). I need a backup to my XDM. This is the 9mm I think of like the 1911 is to a 45. I will be purchasing this with your review as a solid basis along with other input. Thanks for the clean and clear review.
Never replaced anything on this pistol, its all original and still running strong
@blondie973 Yeah it pretty much identical to the Beretta, except 4 the safety. Glad u liked it. Thanks 4 commenting.
@rangerranger98 Glad ya liked it, its a great gun, my favorite pistol. Thanks 4 watching
love my stainless steel with gold accents PT-92 but when i bought mine it came with two 10 round magazines spent about 50$ on two new factory 17 round mags. worth every penny
I just picked one up off gunbroker. Its gotta be a older one because there is no decocker and no rail. However the safety is on the frame. Comes with 4 mags and upgraded grips for $401
Great video, I notice the picatinny rail, so it's also part clone of the M9A1 like the USMC uses. I own an M9, will be uploading a new video on the subject, just comparing to the 92FS. I like the 17+1 capacity from the factory, yes Beretta is 10 and 15 depending on where you live. I would most definitely open carry the Beretta, but certainly wouldn't conceal carry it, too bulky, but very accurate and a pleasure to shoot. I don't own a Tarus, but they make good stuff, have shot the guns b4.
@NeverEnuffAmmo the safety is on the frame. and yes it has the lanyard ring. its a very great gun i have put well over 1000 rounds and not once has it jammed or failed to eject. another thing is that the taurus emblem is following the title
Yup ...... had it for years
just to say, i own one of these Pt 92's, it is a great gun for the money, don't shoot it everyday ,but for the money it is very accurate, buddy of mine has a beretta we field striped them down ,they were identical, not a carry gun ! if you want to save a bunch of money, give Taurus alook, you are right about the Beretta factory
When i bought my first 92 Taurus back back in the day i'm pretty sure that the safety was always on the frame and not the slide. Did they change that and then put it back on the frame?
@GunzCoty This pistol is lighter than a steel framed 1911, but is wider than a 1911 because of the grip and the double stack mag. So it depends on what makes a bigger difference to u, weight or size.
When I think of 9mm I think of the M&P that was my first new gun and the first gun I ever purchased for myself. ( Had hand me downs before ) I have over 3,000 rounds through it with less then a dozen miss fires. I'm talking Tulu ammo, Winchester white box bulk crap, everything I could find cheap for the range short of re loads. Eats hollow points no issues. Bought the Compact version to go with it.
That being Said, for a Large gun the Beretta design is now incredible. Great rugged design.
I have a PT92. I also have a Beretta 92 /96 meaning I have the 9mm 92 and the barrel, slide, spring and guide for a 96 .40. I am curious if i can put the 96 upper (per say) on the pt92 making it a .40 cal. Thanks Bill
My T92 was made in 1986. It has the frame mounted safety, but no decocking safety. I think they added the decock in 1994.
If the safety was supposed to be on the slide, John Moses Browning would have put it there... :)
The T92 is about the best shooting 9mm ever made...
great gun is my primary home defense and range gun very strong and reliable no issues whatsoever great review bro
Mk. So on the de-cocker, is the firing pin rotating up out of the way upon the de-cock like a beretta? Or if not what is actually happening with the decocker there that makes it safe? Jw'n cause I know how a beretta de-cocker works.
Dumb question I'm sure, but I'm new to side arms. Dose the pistol have a solid firing pin block. I did not see one lift up above the slide when you pulled the trigger?
@datguy781 Yeah changing the mags was because Taurus changed over to a standard 17 round mag with a traditional mag release instead of the Beretta's 15 round mag back in '92 at the same time they changed the safety to a frame mounted safety because of their military contracts and consumer requests because it's a more traditional 1911 style safety compared to the Beretta's safety. If your used to 1911 pistols the Taurus feels better, but if your used to running a Beretta it will feel different
A Beretta 92FS goes for about 750 here. Haven't seen any Taurus models of it yet. But the Turkish built ones (Girsan Yavuz 16) seem to be readily available and they go for between 450 and 500. Hoping to get one myself at some point.
Thanks, I'll check 'em out. I'd love to get a larger capacity mag for my 92
ok thanks i might just get the pt 92 have been looking at getting one for a while
@NeverEnuffAmmo - First off, let me say I think your reviews are fantastic from a utilitarian point of view. Very concise, just like I like it.
That being said, sometimes I feel like I'm listening to a review by an airline pilot. The ... uhhh... the gun is... uhhh. really nice. I ... uhhh... I really like it.
Joking aside, thanks for the review, it helped.
one more annoying question. how well have the springs worn, and, have you upgraded the locking block ? seriously considering one as store defense and range gun.
I have the same pistol, same finish and all. I paid $429 new. Your right they are great guns. I've never had a single issue with mine.
I would pick a Taurus over a Beretta any day. They may be "clones" but I think they are clones with improvements, and at a better price too. Love my PT101 and have no plans to replace it.
@DavinDaGeek Glad it came in handy to sombody. Thanks 4 checking it out.
yup they were selling for $330 on black friday, they go now for $479. every now and then you can pick some factory mag's large capacity (19) rounds for $32.
@NeverEnuffAmmo do you happen to know if it will still fit in the blackhawk serpa holster ? I only ask because right now I'm carrying my kimber custom 2 in my dads shop and i want to get the leg rig and swap out the guns when i feel it .
@VoodooPolitics1 I think so too, had alot of good luck with their pistols. Thanks 4 watching.
Thanks for the great review bro. I've been trying to pick between a 1911 or one of these I found at an Academy store here for a great price. Like you said though, the finish on them isn't the greatest, and despite the Taurus being brand new in the case, it looks used just from people at the counter handling it.
@pray4chicken Have u tried adjusting the tension screw and loosening it up to open the holster a bit. I can't really think of anything else, all the holsters, including the serpa should fit both models the same.
awesome gun,cool vid
@BJAC123 Thanks bro, glad u liked it!!
Taurus is the second largest Gun manufacturer in the World if you don't know, tey make parts for many American Firears Manufacturers.
Both Factories in Miami USA and Brazil are State-of-art facilities, Wotan the bigest German CNC Miling Machines is own by Taurus and is a comglomerate of 10 companies.
it's very nice see you talking about the qualities of this pistol beacuse here in brasil we have only a few options,so taurus is one of the best but in your country you can buy everything your money allow and is allways good see some quality with good price.(here a pistol like the 92 but in 380 ACP is about 1000 dollars or more,because we have a very restricted market) greetings from brasil!!
Best review ive seen for this gun yet. good job for real. thank you. I plan on purchasing this for christmas.I dont think that you can go wrong with this one. Life time warranty for the gun not the owner gives me a hard on lol.
@NeverEnuffAmmo well i'm a little pissed right now cuz i just got my gun home and it doesn't fit the holster...unless i need to fix something but the trigger guard lock wont lock !?
Fantastic gun. I have been shooting 1911s for years and this was my first (and only) 9mm and it is my best shooting gun. It is so accurate it feels like it its cheating. I have the same grips on mine, Hogue rubber, and they made the gun feel so much better. I have about 1k rounds through mine without a single issue, mine is all stock besides the grips. This video helped me make the choice and for me to subscribe, thank you!
@NeverEnuffAmmo Absolutely. Just out of curiosity, do you know if this model has any less of a double action trigger pull than the Beretta?
Subbed, btw.
You have to modify the mags to get them to work because the notch in the mag is in a slightly different place on the two mags ...... but with a Dremel and 2 minutes it can easily be done
@x16 If the safety is on the frame and it has the lanyard ring than it's probably a mid 90's model after they moved the safety to the frame but before they got rid of the lanyard.
Yeah, now that you explained it, I think you're right. Thanks for the answer, and btw, great vid! "Keep up the fire!"
I bought mine today for 329.99 @ Academy, NIB. I have owned Beretta's in the past, and I think I prefer this gun.
@NeverEnuffAmmo well both the holster and gun have the hooked trigger guard...only it looks as if the trigger guard on the gun is slightly thicker and it wont close over it/
@JohnFromSpace Yeah Taurus bought out the Beretta factory in the 80's and have been manufacturing the 92 model since then using Berettas own specs, machines, supplies, and even the same people that worked for Bereetta were brought on to work for Taurus. Some people actually perfer the Taurus model over the Beretta because of some changes made to the pistol by Taurus that alot of people like, but I think their both equally excellent pistols.
when you rack the slide to put one in the chamber, the hammer is back in single action mode. You can let it down or cock the hammer back again for single.
@NeverEnuffAmmo sir how big is price difference between that pt92 taurus from the original beretta 92fs??
Thank you for this review.
If i CC a 1911 all day would this pistol be any different?
