- Reviewing the overall gun, Taurus is a full sized gun and is not part of my EDC but I loved it and had to have it for my collection. If I forgot anything please forgive me as it is hard to remember everything while you're recording
This is the only Taurus gun I've never had any problem with and would buy without hesitation. One thing I do like about Taurus is that their customer service is great (at least all the times I've had to deal with them). People seem to forget that all of their firearms have a lifetime warranty, so if for whatever reason something goes terribly wrong with this they can just send it back and not be at a loss.
I agree with you. The Taurus PT92 is a wonderful handgun. It's beautiful and well made. It is very reliable with ANY ammo, as you stated. The smoothness of the slide is one thing that I love. Also, there are Mec-gar magazines for the PT92, which are the best made on earth. Taurus did a really good job. I like them better than the Beretta. Great video, as always.
Even if it's a 3yrs old comment I'am glad that I read it, because I'am just waiting for the pt99 i just bought!
And I can read the Love between the letters you written 😊
It's awesome to see a woman be so passionate about firearms. I think it's pretty cool that you (along with other women) actually have a love for firearms, and show it. Some people just stand and talk about their firearms, where you can tell you have a real passion for them. Great review too!
A female gun review I love it kudos to you woman!
+noe name I said the same thing, she makes a lot of guys look bad, but I love it as well.
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 enjoyed this Taurus PT92 video. You seem like a very kind person. I wish you well in all that you do!
Thanks for increasing my wife's interest in handguns. She, as I, love this PT92 and it's now on our list to get. Excellent review, thanks for taking the time to break it down too, I was waiting for that. Wow, what an eye popper,... you're right, a must have for a collection. I've had Taurus revolvers in the past, all zero problems, I trust Taurus..
I like the way you conduct your reviews. Your opinions seem to be honest and your assessments fair and knowledgeable. Keep up the good work.
own a pt92 and a pt99. i believe the 99 has a decock lever. taurus USED to have quality control problems 20-25 years ago, but they are amoung the best. if i were a cop, i'd trust my life on them. plan to buy this one as well. they are, essentially, a beretta with a taurus name. years ago beretta made their guns in brazil as well. the italians sold the same machinery that the taurus guns are made on today to the brazilian government rather than pay to ship it back to italy. the brazilians to this day make their guns on the same machinery. very good guns. AND I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THESE VIDEOS BY WOMEN, AND MORE WOMEN ENTER THE SHOOTING SPORTS....GET WITH IT, LADIES!
Have had this exact Taurus PT92 for about 4 years now. Put at least 500 rounds through it. Love it.
Excellent review. I am thinking about getting one more and more after each review I read.
the only review this gorgeous, accurate gun needs is one word. WOW
Lovely piece of steel! I don't have one of these bad boys yet, but it is #2 on my list to buy. I do have a Taurus PT38S that is my daily CCH, and have had the pleasure of owning a Taurus PT1911 AR in .45ACP. Both are flawless shooting and fun. The PT92 is a very nice firearm. I cannot wait to get my hands on one.
I see this video a few times a year. Good review! I think this is the most informative on the PT92 Stainless :)
I have to say, one of the best videos on the Taurus PT 92. Simply a pleasure to watch and I do agree, an awesome pistol. Is it big? Yes it is (it's a full size). Howerver, my wife enjoyed shooting it at the outdoor shooting range the other day and she did pretty well for a person that hadn't shot anything at all yet. Can't wait to go back with my (our?) Taurus PT 92 (and it's a 1998!).
your awesome i checked this gun out today at a store for 425 before seeing this vid. glad to see your on the same page as me. keep your collection up
Taurus sure knows how to make some beautiful guns! This one will definitely be on my list of eventual purchases -- in large part thanks to your very informative vid!
Just watched your video again. Been a subscriber for apparently decades
this is a very informative and useful review. thanks for one of the few unbiased reviews here on the tube.
I am thinking seriously about getting this pistol for my wife and daughters to use and have as home defense. For that reason, I find your review to be excellent and extremely helpful. Thanks!
Very good review and very nice piece, thank u for posting.
You're correct, over the years, Beretta and Taurus have kinda parted ways with being interchangeable. BTW, the Beretta 92 mags can be easily converted for use in the Taurus, by notching out the upper part of the right side mag retainer hole about a 1/16". Do it gradually.
I loved my PT99 AFS so much, I bought a PT92.
As she stated, no FTE, FTF, or stovepipes, it takes whatever ammo you put into it.
Taurus PT92 is a great gun and one of my favorites! Mine is black finished PT92 AR, but I really like her stainless version. Was planning to get a PT99, which is like the PT92 but has adjustable sights. After watching this great video I've decided to get the PT99 in the stainless steel version. Taurus also makes a PT100, which is like the PT92 (which is only chambered in 9mm) but is chambered in the slightly more powerful 40 S&W cartridge. If you bought a PT92 you've done very good for yourself!
Nice review! I bought the same gun for my wife. Great to see a review from a lady for a change.
Back during the early '90s in firearm magazines.One of the good points on the "PT92" is it can be set to,"Condition 1"(round in the firing chamber,full mag,hammer cocked for "single action mode" & safety on).Can't do that on my Beretta 92F.
For some reason, I think the PT92 AFS is one of the most beautiful guns ever, and I'm a big Beretta fan!
Hey thanks for the review. I've always like the M9 pistol, but not the price tag. One gun dealer pointed me to the Taurus PT92, and I love the pistol. I noticed some pro-Beretta folks talking smack about it, but really I can't tell the difference shooting both down range. They're both accurate pistols, just one is cheaper than the other. The grip is wide but I got long fingers so it fits well with me. The gun I have is made in 1992, and it shoots extremely well to this day.
Hello. Awesome video. I just ordered one and can't wait to get it. Thanks again.
Great review and an excellent post!
you are mistaken there are not completely interchangeable with a Beretta. the mags do not match.
Great revue. Paid $460 for mine in '05. 7,000 rounds through my PT 92, no stoppage or breakage whatsoever.
Great review, That polished frame is sick!
Taught my wife and daughter on one. My favorite gun!
I own the PT-99 version of this work of art (adj. sights). I got it blued due to moonlight glare,, and holster carry. It is a little over 10 years old, has fired cheap & expensive 9 mils, as well as FMJ & JHP ammo in excess of 1100 rounds without a single problem what so ever! Great pistol that I have confidence in! In fact "HER" name is Lucille...Lol..Great video...Thanks
nice review. these are really nice guns. its probably going to be my next firearm purchase. i already own several Taurus firearms and have not had a single problem yet. most recent was the PT1911 and its flawless.
This was the 1st gun I ever bought, other than it being too large for conceal carry I think this gun is perfect! Very reliable and accurate, fun to shoot and a great looking piece! Highly recommend it!
Fantastic review; Thanks for pointing out the hand size. I'm a guy and my hands aren't as typically large as others so its good to know its going to fit nicely. Wasn't even interested in getting a handgun (looking at rifles) and this model caught my eye for some reason, now I cant wait to get one. Thanks again!
I wanted one because it was a handsome gun but this review helped. Finally got mine this past December.
Ok, I used Winchester Power Blast and gently rubbed off the factory residue, dust including some milling filings, followed by Hoppes oil at friction points especially under the slide. The finish on my blued version is no longer an issue. So, fired about 75 rounds at the range. Function was flawless. It was freehand shooting, so I can't say accuracy was perfect, but it seemed nearly so. Only issue is the trigger....get used to it, and don't let the after-travel pinch you! This is a solid gun.
I just went out and bought one after watching your video. I think I got a fair deal at $465.99 on the weapon, but it sucks they didn't have any in stock and I have to wait a week while it's on order. Good to see a woman interested in guns and not afraid of a full size like this one. Thanks for the review.
Hi,Cutlerylover recommended your channel and let me say I'm glad he did.Great reviews and a new Subber.
I saw this gun last night at a gun store. It was a pretty reasonably priced too and after watching your review, I just might make this my next gun to buy. Thanks.
Just like you said wow to me I'm amazed that you haven't had problems. From my experiences and from what I've heard from others they're nothing but a pain in the ass. Glad yours works fine, be safe. Cya.
Love the gun and the review. Good job.
I had a blued PT-92 back in the 80's when high cap 9mm's were the rage (the early versions had a 15 rnd mag). I sold it years ago because it just seemed to large a platform for the 9mm when compared to something like a Glock G-19 (I know they don't look as nice). My 92 was accurate, reliable and low recoil. I had an issue with the mag release button freezing but Taurus took care of it without a problem. A 92 is a great value, just a bit large...Nice video, keep em coming.
i was tryin to get a beretta 92 but saw this heard all the good things about it n loved the finish. totally love the features the safeties.Awesome pistol period
Agreed, the box it ships with is crap but gun appears well built. I got a cool suitcase for it for like $14.
I sold my PT92 and purchased a Springfield XDM. I love the XDM but really miss that PT92 now. I am now looking to purchase another one just to add to my collection. It really was a great gun.
Awesome job! Enjoyed! I love my Taurus PT 92. Shoots great and just feels great in my hand.
I have one just like it that I concealed carry no problem both shoulder holster and waist holster depending on attire and situation but then again I am a 6 foot 250 lb gorilla. I too fell in love with mine the first time I held it. I even passed on the Beretta 92 they had at the store for like $50 more because I like the upgrades to the 92 platform that Taurus has made.
actually have the same exact gun the same nickel Center . I can conceal carry it because I'm somewhat of a big guys so great review. Keep up the excellent work you doing
Nice video. I like the frame-mounted safety on the Taurus over the slide-mounted safety on the Beretta. Don't let anyone tell you there is a drastic difference in the two. Taurus bought the plans and equipment to produce the 92 series off of Beretta. Just practice with it and learn it like any other pistol. Looks like you're off to a good start so far. Cheers !
The Taurus version is based on the older Beretta design, with the frame-mounted safety/decocker. The current Beretta 92s have a slide-mounted one. Some people prefer one, some prefer the other. I'm a beginner collector of Beretta pistols, and the Taurus version is worth getting just for that fact. Taurus kind of has a bad rep in some circles, but I understand the guns they make that are based on Beretta designs are excellent. They're made on old Beretta factory machines.
Glad to see an in-depth review of this weapon. Great video!
Did you say it would take Beretta magazines? I have about a dozen (mostly) unused magazines from my last little vacation but I don't want to pay Beretta prices... :-/
Thanks for the vid!
love my pt92. past the first 1k round mark and still kicking with out a hicup.
No, its not a fire arm, its a jewel. Perfection!!!
Great review I have been thinking about buying one.
Great review...good job!!!
I admire your content ma’am keep up with the good work
Nice review i got mine last week no regrets i love this gun
good vid i have the same model for 6yrs and never had a issue besides keeping it clean. i also had a glock 17 9mm and sw 40 cal i had more problems with them than the taurus.
Thank you for the review! I feel better about my purchase!!
Taurus makes a great product.
Great choice in a pistol.
Great video!
Love your review. I own this pistol which has been a great performer but thinking about selling to get something in .45 ACP which I also love.
I just got the same one as in your video, and i love it. A+A+A+
Thanks for making the video! I think I'm going to get one of these.
I have the stainless PT101. I like having the adjustable sights. The sights don't add any bulk, and I can adjust for different grains. Plus the gun shot tight groups but consistently low. So I was glad to be able to adjust the sights. The only thing I don't like is my chamber indicator does not protrude out, and the polished finish on the fram scratches easily...and had a few light scratches new right out of the box. Not that big of a deal, I could probly buff them out with some mothers polish.
A tight look with that chrome. Very nice gun. 2lbs 2oz... love that weight on it too.
Very nice weapon. I have a older PT-92 myself, minus the decocker and picatinny rail. It's never failed me and mine came with the two 15 rd magazines, I've bought the newer 17 rds and they also work perfectly. I like the fixed sights though, less things likely to go wrong. If I may, if you want adjustable sights, there is the PT-99, which is the same thing just with adjustable sights.
I love mine, Pre-safety lock year.
Only two things Ill change on mine, rear sight and grip panels.
Other than that, these things are built like tanks. Between Taurus's PT1911 and PT92 they've really won me over.
Not as many rounds out of my PT92 as Id like, but my 605 and PT1911 have seen quite a bit. :)
Nice review looks great taurus make good guns
Because of your videos I brought this and the mossberg 500 8 shot thank you
Same thing here. Never had a jam, stovepipe, or the de-cocker setting a round off. My only problem is that the sights are off a bit.
Great review, I have been looking for a stainless steel 9mm. What's the MRSP?
Same thing here. Never had a jam or stovepipe, even when it got dirty. Fired 500rds no issue. My only problem is that the sights are off a bit.
nice review thanks im getting it was undecided
Thanku do introducing me to this pistol your vids are awesome. I'm curious if your pt 92 is still problem less.
We're getting my wife one soon. I already have a PT 92C and love it.
Thanks for your great review. This may be the best handgun made by Taurus. Btw, if you want adjustable sights, try the PT99.
Hello awomansworld123 If you like this model, you'd LOVE the look of the older 92's. They are a matte stainless (not polished) and have beautiful wood handles. It looks much smoother because they don't have that thick rail on the bottom. I have one that is around 20 (?) years old and have shot approximately 3000 rounds out of it without a hiccup...
best review i've seen so far. i have a taurus .357 revolver and it jammed up and they fixed it in 3 weeks, sent it back in new box with keys. i'm thinking about getting this gun but also want a glock 29. not sure. great to see women protecting themselves.
Thanks for sharing .Being a Taurus fan I tell you. I love this model. It was my service gun at he Brazilian Air Force. I sent a little bit of tTaurus history to the handgunworldpodcast . If you have the chance to listen to it, Bob Maine gave like 4 minutes of his airtime to epxlain Taurus connections with S&W and Beretta. The episode is 104 and it starts talking about Taurus on 13 minute.
Women and guns i love it. First female review ive seen
Great review, thanks for posting. You should do more reviews. Stay Safe.
That is a great gun I shot one back in 99 and it was highly accurate!
Great review.
The Taurus PT 92 AFS 9mm pistol is the best and most beautiful weapon in the world! You can talk to Taurus in the USA to sell this weapon here in Brazil. We are grateful to all of you Brazilians!
I had some issues with one of the factory mags mine came with. I bought a couple of 18 round mecgar mags and never looked back. Also, it's nice to see a female gun review, especially on a fullsize pistol.
Really nice gun and video! I am contemplating buying of that gun too =). Plese, can you tell me how many shots have you already fired from it? I fire cca 1000 shots per month and I am quite frightened of "light alloy" frame =/. Thanks for answer!
Ok so...I have the pt101. I've looked all over the internet with no luck. The frame is an alloy. And it's some type of polished finish. What would be a good way to shine up the frame? I've thought about mothers aluminum polish because it works on everything. Especially inside the trigger guard isn't as shiney, and from years of handling the part of the grip with the grooves has gotten a little dull compared to when it was new. What would be a good way to polish the frame without damaging the shiney finish?
Love my PT92 AFS; my only complaint is the frame quality does not match slide. Slide is beautiful design and then look at the slide and wonder what happen. The alloy frame has a pigment translucent color under light and scratches are easily noticeable. From a distance, its an great looking gun. Come close and look at details, its not refine.
Gun function well without failures to feed.
fantastic i love it !! really nice video and pistol too
Love my PT92, mines little older, no rail on bottom but still looks great and functions and shoots great. Might have to look at the 1911 they sell. But have had the PT111 and PT22 and they were junk imo. Great review you got a very good gun :)
The PT 92 is likely the finest handgun that Taurus ever made, it's one of my favorites; but if you want less recoil and muzzle rise in a full-size metal 9 mm, try the CZ Sp-01.
I put 60 rounds through my PT92 AF today! I love mine. It's in a black finish, but it is VERY nice to shoot.
Great vid. Love mine!!!!
I really love the chrome finishes that Taurus makes, very good review for a woman, really removes the stereotype for women. Good Job!
Did you use any type of polish for the stainless steel? It looks really shiny. I just bought one however I dont want to ruin any type of coating that is on it.
I'm a big fan of adjustable sights also. I think ' mother of pearl grips' would look really nice or perhaps (simulated) ivory grips. Have you tried concealing it using a Galco S.O.B. (small of back) holster ? It works really well with a sport coat or appropriate jacket.There is nothing wrong with concealed carry and looking good at the same time. D & D ( Dignity and Decorum at all times ). I think I bought 'Ajax Grips' and placed them on the Beretta and it looks great. I love the Taurus more,but bought a Beretta just to have one with the name. Another good gun is the Smith and Wesson model # 5906 (9mm) which should be a little more concealable than a Taurus #92/Beretta . I don't think S&W makes them anymore,but it you find one in good condition at a reasonable price you may want to pick it up. I found it to be very accurate and it was what I took to the range to show off my accuracy skills. It was what I called my ' AT&T ' gun ( reach out and touch someone).
Beretta and Kimber may have the reputation,but Taurus in my opinion based on my experiences makes a better PT92 (PT99) and 1911. I have heard that Taurus uses (or did,possibly still does) a better grade of steel in their gun than Beretta,but Beretta makes a better magazine. I have never had a problem with a pt92 or pt99 mag,but i did buy and use Beretta mags in my guns as well. Every Taurus pt92 or pt99 that I have owed or shot,including my ex's gun has been much more accurate than a Beretta . The position of the Taurus safety is better than a Beretta. I like the finish and features on it better. I don't care for key safeties. they're not really needed.Life tends to catch you unprepared. What are you going to do when trouble comes a knocking ? "wait mr Badguy(s) while i unlock my gun." There are ways to secure your gun responsibly and safely without placing yourself or your family in danger. Taurus also makes a '1911' with all the amenities (bells and whistles) as standard and sells the gun at a reasonable and affordable price. With Kimber you pay extra for the amenities. The Taurus 1911 shoots just as good or better than some/most other 1911s out there. As a matter of fact it was more accurate than the Kimber. Once the Taurus magazine was replaced with a 'Wilson' magazine it out shown/ out shot the 'Kimber'. Why pay all that money for a Kimber or Beretta when you can economically buy a better gun ( the Taurus 1911, the Taurus #pt92 and the #pt99 ) ? I would much more prefer a better gun than a name. In the immortal words of 'Mr. Spock, " It is only logical ". : )
I concur!!! This Taurus has been perfect in every way. Not one single problem. I will never sell it or replace it and that is a fact. Sorry about the shirt and camera angle I guess the shirt needed some attention too, lol
***** My dear young lady,there is no need to apologize. : ) I trust I can honestly say many of us enjoyed your video for more than one reason. : ) I've learned a long time ago no matter what you do in life,good or bad, there is always someone who will find something negative to say. It's refreshing to see someone with your intelligence and enough self love not to fall prey to their negative comments.
yesss the Taurus is the best i love it
Only problems I have had are due to a bad batch of reloads. Easy fix...
My wife bought me a PT111 thus Christmas, and u absolutely love it. I can't wait to get a PT92 OR 99. Gorgeous guns.
