Title: New "House Gun"
Post by: CJS3 on August 03, 2009, 05:37:31 PM
I just picked this up today at Academy in Houston.

Taurus PT92. About $200 less than the Beretta, and I like the decocker/safety on the frame instead of the slide.

Bought a stainless steel version for my brother in here in Austin.  Its a great gun, except for the goofy rail on the front.  After shooting 8 round Sig P220's for months, it was weird to go to the range with the 18 round 92, 'Its still got bullets?'  Go buy some new grips and you should be good to go.  Enjoy.

I bought a used PT92 and love it.  As Mr. Bane said, "Rock Solid". ;D

Great choice CJS3. Picked up a Taurus 92 AFS, stainless with rail, for my wife a couple of years ago. Came with 4 magazines, two 15 and two 17. Eats everything that I feed it though the manual states to use regular 9 mm ball ammo. I have fired Hornady TAP rounds through it with no problems whatsoever. It also has a key to lock it out for a additional safety on the pistol grip. I carried Beretta 92F's in the Air Force but the Taurus is dead on accurate out of the box.

yea I know  Lucky


I have the PT99  and dose not have the Rail :(   

however I also have a PT92 slide  so I have the best of both worlds with the slights  fixed or adjustable (  for class reasons in the comp I shoot )

Those mags aren't the only ones that are a PITA to load to the stated capacity.

My M+P factory mags, even my G21 13rd. mags are a cram at rd. 13. Some of my Wilson 1911 8rd. mags are really a push, usually I leave them as 7 and 1 in the chute.

How far left was left? Was it at more than 7-10 yds grouping left?

Just curious..

Thanks for the report.

I was shooting at 15 yd. Sorry, I should have included that in my report.

Maybe we all need to grab our 92's and share our range reports and compare.

The ONLY complaint about the one I had is that it had a nasty habit of dropping hot brass down the front of my shirt.  Needless to say I have significantly less chest hair than I used to.  ;D

Thats the first semi-auto I bought.  After thousands of rounds downrange, I don't ever remember it not firing.  The only reason I got rid of it was to buy a 1911.
