The Taurus 92 really isn't a knock off, it's a very legitimate redesign, and I honestly think the frame mounted safety is an improvement over the beretta.
I love mine too, I call it old reliable. It works every time I shoot it and eats any ammo that I feed it without any problems.
I fired two Baretta 92's back in the day that belonged to friends and it just felt right in every aspect right off the bat. I finally broke down and bought a used Taurus PT-92 AF. I took it to the gun range right after I bought it and it never jammed and was extremely accurate. This is my favorite pistol thus far and will be one of my main target practice pistols; my hat's off to Taurus!!!
I agree 💯 % there's just something about these 92s that look and feel right.
I prefer the Beretta but the taurus is just as good.
This many years later and this video is still relevant. I just picked up an early Taurus PT92AF non decocker. It's an awesome weapon.
When the Air Force switched from the S&W model 15 .38 revolver to the Beretta M9 I was in heaven. I loved it so much I wanted one. Unfortunately I could not afford a Beretta. Enter the Taurus PT92. The one I purchased was what they called "satin" finished with wood grips. Even back then it was a well built quality gun. It was one of my favorites. Sad to say I no longer have it due to financial issues. Maybe one day I'll have one in my hand again.
these are BEASTS!!!!! Never had a problem with mine at all. I have owned mine for 6 years and it is the ONE pistol that I will never get rid of.
My favorite gun is also a Taurus: the Taurus PT 845. A 12+1 Doubled-Stacked 45ACP Hammer-fired handgun that I purchased for $268 online. And after 1,200 rounds, I have only had 1 failure to fire (cheap reloaded ammo). Taurus is hit of miss at times, but other than a FNJX-45, the PT845 is the only tactical 45 I need. Though I'll never be able to buy a FNX-45 for 3 times what I paid for my Taurus PT845. Anyways I want to get a PT92 next, because I think it's cool to have a Beretta clone that is made by Taurus.
The M9 is a firearm staple like the M1911 and will always be loved by gun owners. The PT92 is a great similar gun. Nice vid man love the PT 92 for cost and reliability
After finding out where they are manufactured and how the purchase of that plant happened.. I bought one. After years of hearing bad things about Taurus. After a year, and over one thousand rounds through the pipe, it has zero failures. I clean it after every 300 rounds. Great gun, great feel, great action... Haven't been happier with a firearm. Not a carry weapon, far too big. My personal carry is a Sig p238. It's my only Taurus, but since purchase, my fear of the Taurus name is gone.
the negative things spewed around about Taurus usually only come from gear snobs. Taurus makes great revolvers and this PT92 is also great, quite possibly even better than the Beretta (which I don't like saying because I love the Beretta) I think the Beretta may look a little more "polished" or refined I guess. Either way the Beretta and the Taurus 92 are fantastic pistols
Was it worth it
I carry a Glock 21...It's pretty heavy but I still manage just fine.
People say it’s too big but people forget…big people exist.
I'm generally not a fan of Taurus firearms. I've had bad experiences with them BUT I have nothing bad to say about the PT92/99 series. I've owned a Beretta 92FS for several years and while I love it, I can't say it's any better than the Taurus version. I just wish they took the same magazines.
Currently this is the standard pistol of the Brazilian Armed Forces, adopted in 1975 and known as "Modelo M975". Very reliable and appreciated for having a better security system than the Beretta M9.
I have the same pistol and love it. The PT92 actually started my love for firearms. I have over 6000 rounds through it with out issue
i love them so much i bought 1 for each hand and 1 for backup
I have whole vids on Taurus, the reason they make this is because they were the ones making it for Beretta in the Brazil Beretta factory and when Beretta left they sold the factory, manufacturing, machines and designs to Taurus and gave them the rights to manufacture the exact same pistol using the same equipment, specs, designs and even the same workers, in fact there were several Beretta employees who moved to Brazil and stayed with Taurus when beretta left. They are exactly like the Beretta
I've had a Taurus PT 99 since 1988. It was made in Brazil in the original Beretta factory on the same machines that turned out the Beretta 92's. Taurus moved the safety from the slide to the frame, where it belongs. It is my all time favorite handgun. Smooth as silk, never a misfire or jam, and as accurate as any 9 mm I have ever fired. The PT 92 is apparently just as good.
Great little gun, well not little lol. I've owned both Beretta and Taurus and I can't find a difference except that the Taurus version has a couple enhancements. Made on the same machinery as the Beretta and just as reliable. I've noticed that most people that bash Taurus products haven't even owned one. I've owned several different models and been happy. I did have trouble from one but Taurus took care of it and threw in a free mag without me asking! And the lifetime warranty is awesome. Most manufacturers don't do that and the ones that do usually only cover the original owner where Taurus goes with the gun.
This was my first pistol. I purchased one back in 1989. I often forget about it in my safe opting for newer and lighter guns but whenever I shoot it I fall in love all over again. It is a sweet and accurate shooter. Most people I let shoot it pick it as their favorite to shoot out of my 7 pistols.
I've owned a Taurus PT92 since they first came out in the mid 1980's. I had wanted a Beretta 92 but could not afford one back then. And as you said the safety is in a more natural place like the 1911. I have put thousand of rounds through the pistol and have yet to have one problem. It shoots well and puts the holes were I'm aiming so what more can you ask for in a pistol. I retired the PT92 a few years ago as my carry pistol and now carry a taurus 24/7 G2 Compact and have really enjoyed that gun also. I still like to shoot my PT92 and have been thinking of buying another PT92 but decided to have my old one Cerakoted to make it look like new again. I'm glad I did because it looks like a brand new gun now! You just can't beat a Taurus for the money or the warranty even if it might take them several months to get it back to you but I can say they same thing about sending in my FNH for repairs also. You can't complain to much when all repairs are free!
Currently this is the standard pistol of the Brazilian Armed Forces, adopted in 1975 and known as "Modelo M975". Very reliable and appreciated for having a better security system than the Beretta M9.
Bought my PT92AF back in the late 80's before rails were added and has countless rounds shot through it. Rock solid gun that never had an issue. I will never sell as it is the last gun I shoot every time I am at the range...save the most enjoyable for last. Never changed the wood grips (although I would like to try rubber some day) and the finish is still perfect except for a couple minor scratches. Not my carry gun or home protection gun...just a delightful shooter that makes you feel like a bad ass.
Very nice man. The 92 and 1911 clones Taurus makes are some of their most consistent offerings, QC wise. I wish my hands were bigger, I'd love to have a 92, no matter who made it.
Taurus make beautiful and functional guns that will last long after their owners are gone.
You're absolutely right my very first pistol was a Taurus pt92 and I regret getting rid of it I traded it for a SKS and I love that SKS but the next gun I buy will be a Taurus pt92
The pt92 was my first gun I ever owned when I turned 21
Yeah I think the safety is the thing that makes it stand out over the Beretta for me
I love all my full size pistols. But the PT 92 was my first love. I have a 1911 & H&K USPc which I also love. But I still have my old 92. Will never be without one. I may have to get a new one with the rail and fancy do-dads though. Thanks for the vid!
I’ve had one since sometime around 1988. It’s my nightstand companion.
I picked one of these up about a month ago, and I gotta say, I'm in love. After watching your videos is actually what sold me. Thanks a lot man, totally recommend to anyone thinking about getting one.
+MrTwinGunz Thanks brother, glad the videos helped
+MrTwinGunz I just got one also. VERY happy with this gun. I've read some reviews saying it's not good and it has issues with quality, but I took a chance and even though I haven't had it long, it's PERFECT for me and my needs. Great review bro, thanks.
One of my favorite models the PT92
All the quality of a beretta at half the price! I own a 30 year old taurus 92pt and it still shoots as well as my buddies new fs92.
Me too. I've had mine since 1990 and it's never had a hiccup. Thousands of rounds and never replaced any part on it, except for the stocks.
Same only thing I have done to it is added a weaver mount underneath barrel for flash light and dropped in the lasermax guide rod.
+Derek Lewis Nice! I want a laser rod in my PT92.
HighFrequencyBlade Highly recommend it. A little pricy at 400$ but the quality is there. What's really cool is when you fire the final shot in magazine and the slide locks back the laser knows to turn itself off. When new mag is inserted and you drop the slide to feed new round into the tube the laser turns back on! So fucking cool.
+Derek Lewis oh clever, but the price is ridiculous, it's like buying another pistol.
This is the only gun Taurus makes that I would agree is top of the line quality.
It's a nice gun. Some people look down on Taurus but I know plenty of satisfied owners, especially tried and true designs.
I agree 100% - Greetings from South Africa
a FRIEND OF mine just picked up the Taurus PT 92 last night and got to shoot it. I was impressed. Trigger is a little mushy but doable. It feels very solid. I read alot of Taurus horror stories but this weapon operates nicely. 120 rounds no problems.
my 2 main firearms
my CC Glock 26 with Sneaky pet Holster
my scratch and dent gun that is in my car every time i go any were is my Taurus pt92 with 3 15 round Mec-Ger mags
love my Taurus pt92 -not because it looks good not because it is a 9mm but because i have shot over 2500 rounds threw it of every cheep steal Russian ammo i can find and it still runs flawless for cheep
no matter how dirty i let it get between cleanings it keeps on running flawless
it is my scratch and dent gun
could care less how it looks so long as it has a bit of oil on it and it functions (IF I EVER NEED)hope i never do
QC is not quite Beretta quality but if your on a budget it will perform just as good as a Beretta
my true love is my PARA 1911 45acp and is just a dream to shoot but if i want to pick up a gun and know the damn thing is going to go boom i know my Taurus pt92 and my Glock 26 will not let me down
Hi Matt, the pt92 is close to the 92f, I bought a 92f back in the late 70's & due to my job I was required to log my rds. witch stayed with me. Up until two years ago I was at the range 4-5 days a week & 8-10 hrs per day & popping off 400-1000 rds a day. As of Juy of this year I logged 164,240 rds & the only thing I had to do to the 92f is clean it. I never replaced a thing not even a spring & it still runs like new. if your pt92 gives you what my 92f is giving me you will own it for life.
I have one just like that and I feel the same way you do. Its a well-made pistol, properly balanced, reliable safety and decent accuracy with minimal recoil. I wouldn't trade it for another. Not anytime soon!!!
Yeah I've had the PT1911 too and its a great pistol
Ahhh...instant memories of my beloved Ruger P-89 :-)
I agree,..I love this gun !! I have the silver/chrome model...92FS I actually like it better than the Beretta for some of the reasons you mentioned, like the guide rod, carry cocked n locked if that's your thing, and Price!! Also, that its basically the same gun,..In fact it was actually a Beretta factory at one time before it was sold to La Forges Puenta ! It was the first handgun I got after get interested in firearms again since I was a teenager. Hasn't skipped a beat yet...
I absolutely agree with every reason you stated. I have owned my PT92 for about a year and a half and have conceal carried it over a year. I've always loved the looks just like you. I think what does it for me is the exposed barrel. that is just plain sexy to me. I love shooting it as I am able to aquire sights pretty quick since recoil is low.
great video.
Thanks bro, appreciate ya watching
You're an exception to the rule of locking block failure. I'm glad you've had good luck with it.
I've had a Taurus PT92, as an original owner, for over 8 years now and will NEVER get rid of it!
The pistol is well made and is inherently saf(er) than the Para-Ordnance P14-45 1911 here as the PT92 is a SA/DA pistol. It may be 9mm, but cheaper to shoot than .45 ACP & better than the Beretta M9 that I qualified on in the U.S. military.
Surplus M9 military / LEO mags work well after minor modification: got those as a cheap as $2 at a local gun show.
Beretta sold Taurus the tooling and factory, these things are made with Beretta machines and are essentially the same exact thing as the 92/M9 with some slight improvements at a better price point. It also has one of the best warranties in the entire gun industry. Out of the hundreds of makes and models of handguns I've fired I still consider my PT92 to be one of the smoothest.
Just picked up one from my FFL tonight that I got off GunBroker. I got a "good deal" on it and now I see why- finish is toast and it was the filthiest gun I've ever taken apart and cleaned (literally hours). So lubed it well and to the range tomorrow. I used to have a stainless model that I gave to my son as a starter pistol, so I expect it to shoot well. Destined to become my truck gun and will pick up a better one to be my pride and joy. I too love the feel of them, almost as much as my 1911s. My Glocks might be spending more time in the safe soon!
Have had one for about 3 years absolutely love it.
I'm right there with you and appreciate your enthusiasm. I've had a PT99 since the late '90s. The PT99 is the same firearm but with adjustable sights. Mine was manufactured in 1986 so it has a safety vs your decocker and it doesn't have the rail. That said, it shoots and handles great. It's always been problem free.
When shit hits,you got one of these,you good to go.
I prefer the 92 design over the Glock I have had numerous malfunctions with different kind of Glocks but never with the 92. My favorite. The taurus pt92 is a beretta just with a better safety on the frame and it’s sexy looking and I have never had a malfunction ever even when purposely trying to limp wrist it.
I have one in stainless steel. I love it so much! Thing is that every once in a while the magazine slips down and it won't cycle. Other than that, it is so much fun to go out shooting with!!!
Yup, its a hell of a gun
I agree with everything in this video. Beretta design is sexy, big nice comfortable grip, cheap taurus price, and 17 ROUNDS IN THE MAGAZINE!!!!
I do the same thing too I take my 92 out and I just stare at it how beautiful it looks
awesome video dude...no hype, no drama, no bashing other brands...amazing. owned two of these alongside two beretta 92fs...just preferred the berettas more and sold my Taurus guns. I have short stubby fingers which make my hands seem and feel small and the Taurus felt a little fatter at the grips, maybe only me but again I owned both beretta and Taurus and shot them side by side...as a matter of fact we ransom rest tested them and beretta did edge it out in accuracy using good, non surplus ammo. but I do love your video and yes they are good guns...keep on shooting and cheers.
Me too brother....mine is exactly like yours.....ive got the Hogue grips on mine as well....my favorite pistol by far....glad to know I'm not the only one who takes out the gun to look at it and hold it....for no other reason but to look at it and hold it :)
I've had my Taurus PT92 for about 2 or 3 months now and I have to say, I agree with everything you said. Feels great, love the look, I actually like the weight of it too (lot of people tell me they don't like it because its heavy), definitely an accurate pistol and with 17rd mags even if you're not accurate you have plenty of follow up shots!
+Rockstar22ize Cool, how do you like yours so far? I bought mine 4 months ago. I really don't the standard factory 17 round magazines. They are very hard to fit the last 17 round into it, and they jam. So I bought four 20-round mecgar magazines instead, and they work better than the cheezy standard magazines.
HighFrequencyBlade That was easily my favorite pistol and yes the factory mag was hard to get the last round in but I didn't have many jamming issues .
+Rockstar22ize Exactly, and the mecgar they are easy to load even the last 20th round into it.
so happy to see this review I just bought one today. I love the Beretta but I don't have that kind of cash and didn't want to wait for then to go on surplus
Yes they do
I like the 92. I wish the 99 was still made. Thanks for the video. 👍👍
Bro i like the AFS version of this Taurus PT92 .
I had one built in 1992. Bought it used for $200. It worked well, but I had the extractor pin break. The finish didn't hold up well but it was used hard. My PT-92 shot well as you mentioned. However, I sold it to buy another gun.
Taurus made some really good guns there for a while especially the PT92, PT100 and PT101 but the last 2 or 3 years their quality has slipped a little mostly on their polymer pistols but the PT92 all metal frame is still built very good to this day
I have a pt92. Carry mine actually lol. Almost 2000 rounds flawless, accurate, feels great, amazingly controllable, lifetime warranty, the list goes on and on lol. My ONLY complaint is the finnish is sub par and the fixed front sight requires gun smithing if you want a front night sight but hey for the price and quality, WHO cares lol. Good vid man.
#1 of the BEST guns stile of guns on the market and not all that ease to find these days. ❤❤❤❤
I baught a 92 ar and I couldn't like it more.baught used $229. I through it in my truck.. Started shooting it a bunch and it works flawless. What a steal.
I have two full sized metal 9 mm's- a Taurus PT 92 stainless, and a CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical. They are both very accurate, feel great in the hand, and are reliable. While the CZ only has a decocker, I like the Taurus' safety/decocker, which allows for Condition 1 carry. The Taurus is the sexiest-looking handgun in the world, but the ergonomics of the CZ can't be beaten- it shoots flatter, with less muzzle rise.
Thanks for your argument for the PT 92. Love my Taurus PT 99 AF, same firearm except the 99 has an adjustable rear sight. Mine was manufactured in 1986 and still shoots flawlessly.
I love the PT 92 also !!!!
i just picked mine up today and i am in love with it. never sale. great video
Thank you for making this channel
I bought several PT-92's back in the 1980's when I had my own FFL. Interestingly this model was very inexpensive in those days yet it performed great. My cost on a standard PT-92 (blued, fixed sights), was around $275 delivered to my door back then. I also had a new Beretta 92F and other than possibly being a tad more ergonomic, the Taurus PT-92 shot every bit as well as the Beretta 92F.
It kills me looking back at how inexpensive these were compared to today!! It's a sin.
OK you sold me, I'm gonna get one. I myself have long wanted one a (Beretta) but after reading up and seeing vids like yours I think it's the Taurus for me too. Great Vid.
One of my favorite pistols
YES! This was my first 9mm weapon. I still love this weapon.
I used to carry the m9 on the job but we switched to the Glock. I liked the beretta but the Glock brought me over to the dark side LOL. So after I got home I decided to get a 92. Went to the store and found a pt92 used for 250 it was brand new practically. The thing that got me too was the safety. I sold mine to fund a rifle build. Got a beretta in a trade and hated it. :-(
I have a pt99af. I wish mine had a rail. Also it is a 80s model and the it does not have the decocker. But I could not be happier. My dad gave me this gun and in the 80s he owned 2 M9s and 2 PT99AF and he actually sold the M9s because the Taurus was a flat out better gun. he gave me this pt99af 5 or 6 years ago and I've shot well over 3000 rounds through it with 2 malfunctions witch were magazine related. One day I really do wanna get one with the rail and decocker but I've have my eye on my dream handgun so it's gonna have to wait until after I get the P226 TACOPS.
Thanks brother, I appreciate it, glad ya like the vids
Thanks 4 your service brother
Unparalleled reliability. I have a 30 year old version. Never failed to chamber, fire, or eject. Ever.
Hahahah Lethal Weapon and Die hard... Best movies ever, probably the reason why i like the beretta and pt92 too. Nice Video!
I love that style if gun. That being said I agree with you. I love my M9 but the only thing I dislike is the slide mounted safety.
Thanks brother Bob
Thanks for the video.
i like it too....and i love the 92 and 84
I love too Taurus pistol despite the fact I never purchased but after seeing its function in video seems a trust worthy.
Yes I have, in fact I almost went with it when I was looking for a .40 caliber handgun about 10 months ago but in the end the S&W M&P won me over ...... but I still want a PX4
My neighbor passed away and I received his gun after his passing. I appreciate him doing that for me of course but I much prefer my Glock to this gun. It feels solid and well made but if I shoot the first shot double action, the second trigger pull is much easier since the hammer is now back. I prefer double action only such as used on the Glock so I have the same trigger pull each time. I like the simplicity of the Glock in case the situation is under stress. But, like I said, it feels rugged and well made.
Most accurate gun i own! I wish i could conceal and carry it because by far hands down i would carry it over any spring field or glock.
I too love the beretta 92 and i served
I got to get me one of these babies . I recently shot one at my local range and I just love the Taurus over the standard m9. The Taurus has great upgraded features.
Once you've really "Tried" them out, spent a few hours at the range and put a few hundred rounds down range, most shooters that I know (about 95%) just love handling a "full size service 9mm".
The five inch barrel, longer sight radius and weight. All come together to make it an accurate and pleasant gun to shoot. And, of course; if you have full confidence in both your gun AND your abilities to shoot it with accuracy, your prepped and ready for most any situations your likely to encounter!
BE SAFE !
Thanks 4 watching brother, I appreciate it
My PT92 shoots even under the water.
I bought one two months ago........ best gun i own
great quick review. do you know what year your 92 is? and also do you know when they started making them with the decocker? i have a 1990 production 92 and it does not have a decocker
She protect my home here in Rio, Brazil. Stainless Steel version. Brazilian classic weapon.
Thanks brother
love mine. had It about 3 years
Yeah I love the Beretta and would still buy one but I like the position of the decocker on this one better
I want one, and i agree with everything he says, ive shot a PT92 Taurus and it fits perfectly on my hand. I like where the safety lever is on the gun, Over all its a fun gun to shoot. I wish i had the money to buy one better start saving.
The problems they had with the M9 was that they were biased against it because they were used to the .45 caliber 1911 and hated the idea of downgrading to a 9mm. What'd they do then? They used high-pressure sub machine gun ammo, causing catastrophic failures. Eventually, this was brought to light, but not before much peddling on Beretta's part.
source: My dad worked for Beretta from 1993-2005, spending the former 9 years at the Accokeek factory.
