Post by: billt on July 29, 2015, 08:12:33 AM

And the hits just keep on comin'. Is it me, or does that barrel look bent?

It's you Bill, sort of.
The barrel is at an angle so it will position properly when it returns to battery.

Thought they had some nice variations on S&W revolvers but after the reset  issue with their TCP I swore off on them.    Others swear by them.

Sounds like a lot are just swearing AT them.

I have to add to this thread that the PT92/PT99 pistols seem to be the exception to the rule regarding Taurus firearms.  These pistols are built at a factory originally constructed by Beretta to build these pistols for the Brazilian military.  When the contract was fulfilled, Beretta sold the factory and all tooling to Taurus.  I wouldn't be surprised if most of the workers stayed too.

I bought a PT92 instead of the Beretta model because a really like the safety decocker mounted on the frame and the ability to carry "cocked and locked" as one would carry a 1911.  I have put thousands of rounds through my PT92 and never had a single problem that was not ammo related.  It's a solid gun with good fit and finish.  I would buy another one - but not anything else made by Taurus.......
