I'm a Brazilian shooter and my friend Mathias was employed by Beretta and after them he work to Taurus. Nowadays he is one of the best gunsmiths in Brazil.

A Taurus employee is one of the best gunsmiths in Brazil? That’s just sad. Taurus is a terrible company from a consumer perspective. If. Brand is gonna give you a bad experience it’s gonna belong to Taurus. Anyway, they make crap, ask for S&W and Beretta prices, and never fail to deliver crap. If they hadn’t taken a running Beretta line and refused to tel the employees it’s not Beretta’s show anymore they couldn’t even make a semi functional knockoff. Never forget the mellinium.

Back in 1990 I bought a used PT92c from a pawn shop for $250. Put about 10000 rds through it and had to send it in because of a barrel block that was getting battered. Taurus completely rebuilt the gun for me at no cost. I've got over 50k rnds through it with zero issues. I also have a CH85 (I think that's the model) 5 shot 38spl with a 2" barrel and a model 66 in 357. All have been flawless. I also have a very early production Berretta PT92 from my dad in mint condition. I'm more of a 1911 kind of guy but these are nice pistols

Bought a PT99 in 93', they were out of 92's, the 99 had an adjustable sight for $10, $275 out the door. Young sailors with fams have trouble fitting the Beretta in the budget. I was told by everyone back then that every part was interchangeable except the mag. Nothing ever broke and Taurus mags are less $$ so I have no 1st hand knowledge of either. 30+ years it eats everything reliably, fabulous pistol!

I worked in the hunting department in one of the big box outdoor stores for 10 years. We would have reps from different firearm companies come in periodically with new products. Taurus would bring new products out every year. They were very innovative in their development, for example, The Judge. I ask one of the reps why the Taurus 92 FS was so similar to the Beretta 92. His answer was almost verbatim to your episode. The only thing I would add is that Beretta didn’t want to expend time, money and manpower moving the machinery from Brazil back to Italy. So, to coin a phrase, “They made them an offer that they couldn’t refuse.” Sounds like an Italian thing! While many parts were interchangeable between the Taurus and Beretta, if I remember correctly, the magazines did not interchange. This is one of the best Taurus firearms.

This was my first handgun purchase back in 2008. Did a ton of research and didn't want to spend a ton of dough and this is what I chose. Great gun, very accurate, smooth action. It's basically a Baretta clone, as it was manufactured in the old Baretta factory in Brazil that Taurus purchased. Wish I still had it but traded it in for a Taurus 1911 .45 pistol. I do have the Taurus Raging Hunter .357 magnum revolver 8" barrel. It's a beast.

You have shown almost all of the superior features with your usual grace and clarity! A great gun is a joy to behold! I had one of the earliest ones from the early Nineties with no decocker, with a forged anodized aluminum frame and a blue steel slide. IT WAS SUPERB IN ALL WAYS! It never failed in any way with any ammo! The sights were small but just fine, and the pistol was accurate, pointing very naturally. The only changes from current Berettas is that the chrome lined bore was dispensed with as not needful for civilian service, and they put the manual safeties IN THE RIGHT PLACE and switching IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION like a civilian needs, not a policeman. I shot it a lot for a decade and it showed NO WEAR AT ALL as I simply kept it lubed!. I carried it IWB inside a tight wide belt and did not mind the weight at all. I changed it to a wrap-around finger-ridged textured rubber grip from Bianchi, and it seemed to melt into my hand! I wish I still had it, but had to trade it for rent in desperate times............................elsullo

I have to say your FS is the only one I’ve seen that looks as nice as mine. But mine is an F that never got the hammer pin upgrade to make it an FS. I inherited it a few months ago in unfired condition, since new. My father-in-law bought it brand new in 82 and only used it as a travel companion. I did a viewing only video of it with disassembly to show how clean it is inside. The video is silent because it’s dedicated to my father-in-law. He passed on 8-25 at 93 years old.

Got an older model 856 no key safety honestly a gem, kicks like a toddler at the dentist but nothing unmanageable. On mass I believe the conception is out of the box how you may get a bad G3C 1in 4/5 times could be 5/5 times get a good pt honestly I love Beretta & Taurus, like American too Smith's & Rugers but that pt92 nickel give me the chills.

Wow, this brings back memories. Bought one of the PT 92's in all blued back in 1985 when they were being introduced to the US. It was a excellent pistol and my very first handgun purchase. Well built and shot wonderfully. Never had FTF, stove pipes or any sort of malfunction AND it was inexpensive so right in a G.I.'s budget. In the 1990's I bought the Taurus PT 101 in .40 and the same exact finish and configuration as in your video except no rail underneath. Great gun as well with never an issue also. Some think their products suck and maybe some do but I've had nothing but a good experience with guns I've bought. Furthermore, I actually sold a S&W stainless .38 to go buy a stainless .357 Taurus which I was also happy with as the trigger was much smoother in DA than the S&W. May actually be buying a G3C soon as well.

I remember being new to pistols back in the early 90's. They took one of these PT92s in on trade and had it dirt cheap. I went in to buy it and the guy working the counter told me the guy that traded it in didn't want it because his brother killed himself with it. As I was wondering why this salesman would say this. I noticed the way he was looking at the gun and thought he wanted to buy it, so I told him I know it was lightly used and operates when needed. I sold it some years after and always regretted it. So a few years after that, I had to run out and buy another. It sits in my safe and I almost never shoot it,....But I know its there so I'm happy!!🤣😂🤣😂

I am happy to see you finally get around to doing this review. I am well familiar with the PT92ADFSD. The AFSD stands for Alloy Frame Safety Decocker to the best of my knowledge. The first one I owned I bought in Charleston SC in 1986. I still have the gun and I still carry it nearly everyday. Since I am old now, I often carry my 32 Auto Tomcat (another Berretta design). Don't judge me. I have heard a lot of crap over the years about it. It never persuaded me to change my mind to be honest. People are gun bigots in a lot of cases.

The PT-92 was popular with several shooters in my IPSC club in the 1980s. The single action feature was a plus, and there was a version with an adjustable rear sight which allowed the owners to fine tune their point of impact. Curiously, sitting through the many matches, waiting for one's turn to shoot, it became evident that the Taurus shooters were having noticeably fewer pistol malfunctions than the Beretta 92 shooters. There were even a couple of members who switched from Beretta to the Taurus PT-92 for better reliability. The Beretta 92 has come a long way since, but it would still never by my choice for a carry pistol.

I bought my PT92 in 1993. Still got it still works. Never had an issue except with some after market magazines... even then it usually worked! My hands are smaller than yours so I'm happy with the reach. Most of my magazines are by Mecgar but I do have 17 shot Taurus magazines.

I bought an early model PT-92 in 1984. It was a very good pistol. Reliable and accurate. But it had no hammer drop safety, so no way to absolutely safely lower the hammer down to carry one in the barrel. I eventually traded it in and bought a Beretta M9A3, which I find to be a great pistol, and safer to load with "one in the pipe".

I had the identical gun, bought it online, they toned down the shine in the photos so that was a disappointment as I wanted a satin frame. Anyway, it started having problems that I could not resolve, not even with new magazines-trust was lost. Sold it, bought a CZ75B, an exceptional upgrade

Bought one new the first year. I had carried a dept. issue '76 Beretta 92 first gen, with a frame safety and heal mag release and wasn't thrilled with the new slide safety.

Taurus changed hands a few years ago and quality across the board has improved significantly. Once the market catches on prices will go up. Check out the TS9 as well, it's their military's pistol that just became available in the US at a ridiculously low price due to a contract overrun and is not intended to remain available in the US. Get them while you can.

Yes, they are good. I've had several Beretta 92s, and one Taurus PT92. When I owned the Taurus, it did have one jam, one time (stovepipe), and the Beretta's have never had any sort of issue. Might just be a coincidence, though.

I have used both the PT-92 and the Beretta 92 over these past few decades, and the only appreciable thing I noticed, which wasn't a a problem in my book, was the that the Berettas slide action when pulled back and its trigger were a bit smoother than the PT-92, but Taurus also build another really great handgun and an underrated one was the PT945 and other auto loaders in that genre, I call them Tarosigs. They are almost SIG P-226 like. I never really cared for their revolvers though. Merry Christmas Hickok 45.

One of my first pistols. Taurus PT92 that I purchased back in 1990. I need to get it out of my gun safe and exercise it. I also had a PT100, my first .40 caliber.

The PT-99 (same pistol but with adjustable sights) which I bought back in the late 80s is still going strong today after around 5,000 rounds through it. No jams and not choosey about ammo, shoots any 9 mm I've fed it.

Bought mine in '04 or so, thousands of rounds and not a single issue. Not my carry piece, or woods gun, but that's not why I bought it. It's my house gun in the nightstand, equipped with a light. One of the few guns I've never considered replacing.

My first 9mm was a Taurus 92, never had a problem with it, I have several G2 and G3s and no problem with them either. The only Tarurus or Beretta I've ever had trouble with is the tip up bbl .22's and a Taurus revolver that kept shooting the screws out of itself and was out of time.

Used the Berreta during service. Spent over 10000 rounds through it. About 4 years after getting out. I purchased the Taurus for $400 when Berreta was around $650. I have about 1000 rounds through the Taurus. The design is just that good. It's hard to screw up such a good platform.

I bought one in 1991 or 1992 but liked the P220 better so I sold the 92 and bought the Sig. I have a fondness for the old Taurus 92. It was good. I never tried the Barretta version.
