In 1986 I bought a PT-92 because it was on sale at $180, it became my favorite pistol....at the time I owned 4 Colt .45 ACP Government Models and a shitload of other autos and revolvers. For 20 years I shot the shit out of that gun, and it NEVER...EVER...jammed , and it's out of the box accuracy was AMAZING. I used all manner of factory JHP and my own reloads in all bullet types.....the gun was stolen 5 years ago, and I have never gotten over it's loss. Taurus makes a good gun.
Got this same gun. Got it with Pachmeyer grips, which are great if your hands are large enough to get around them. Had the mag release reversed because it is much more comfortable to release it with my right hand middle finger. My gunsmith said he has a Beretta 92 and he had not thought of this, but he was going to do the same to his gun. Safariland #7 holster fits this gun exactly. Love this gun. No failure to feed or eject. Very accurate.
I love mine. Minimal recoil and muzzle flip, option of carrying cocked and locked or half-cocked with a long first trigger pull as a safety, accurate, reliable, and possibly the sexiest handgun in the world.
@@totalnewb123 right on man! Thanks! And man this is a really nice firearm to have I noticed some differences though some models have like a pistol grip. And others I've seen on TH-cam come with a nice big case with also a cleaning rod but those videos are from Brazil so I wonder if in Brazil they come standard with a nice hard plastic case mine came in a cardboard box which is ok I guess but I wanted a case like they had
Wow, I was expecting the comments to be trashing this gun. When ever I tell someone (especially the employees at the range) that I have this gun, they always say how terrible it is. Well five years later this gun is one of my favorites. It’s great looking and the trigger pull is exceptional. On top of that the price was unreal. I think I got it for $450 brand new.
Great video and review, thanks. I have one that I got in 1991, it was my first gun and is still shooting perfectly today with probably about 2k rounds through it. I have heard some criticisms of Taurus lately but, the two I own have performed flawlessly to date. My PT92 doesn't have a rail though, must have been before they added them on. Mine is super accurate because of the 5 inch barrel, I am spoiled and notice the difference when I shoot a compact.
It comes that way. It's because the slide is stainless and the frame is aluminum alloy. They mirror polish the frame and leave the slide a satin finish. I've seen a few videos on here where people have polished the slides on their PT92's to match the frame, and it looks amazing. You can get a very close match to the frame if you mirror polish the slide.
I've had a blued (Blk. actually) PT-99 for over 20 yrs. (pre-decock) with a little over 2000 rds. put thru it; as u said I could've purchased a Beretta if I had chosen, but the Taurus to me felt better, & loved the location of the safety. Her name is "Lucille" & she has never once failed to go boom, with many different types of ammo, No issues what so ever! I carry mine in a Uncle Mikes shoulder rig with no problems @ all. I would recommend them highly. thanks for video
Great review. I just recently bought the PT-92 (blued!) from Academy for $325 on special just before Christmas. It lasted at that price for just 3 days and I just couldn't pass the opportunity. I'll do a review too as soon as I take it to a range. Cheers! Cheers!
I like the steel guide rods also.....I have one in stainless and one in blue......For a 9 mm they are great..I`ll get me hands on a Pt 100 or 101 in due time.....Love the Taurus line up....Since the 80s
Yes, big and heavy, however this is a real gun. I have owned mine for 25 years and has NEVER jammed. Of all the guns I own, this is my favorite. I am certain that I will be able to give this to my son and he'll think it's just as cool as when I first bought it. Nice aspects of this gun? The stainless steel is a VERY high quality and when you want to lube or service it? You need NO tools and the entire gun comes apart in 3 seconds by simply pushing a locking mechanism on the frame.
PT92AR here, model looks identical to this in video except mines got the mother of pearl grips and gold screws and accents. Ive had it near 10 years (and I bought it USED), its my only semi auto handgun, and I run up to all 7 mags thru it back to back at the range. Its never jammed nor had any malfunction of any kind to date, and when cleaning parts all that stainless steel looks brand new STILL. No swirls nor even faint scratches in the barrel either. I absolutely love this gun, and it IS my dependable, reliable workhorse.
@kgb8032 Thank you. I try and give as much information as possible...hence the "IN DEPTH" part of the title on my reviews. Truth be told though, I could probably ramble on about a particular gun for an hour...lol. I'm glad you found it useful, more to come hopefully.
Nice vid. I now have a Taurus and a Beretta 92 and was surprised to find that the mags are NOT interchangable. The mag catch hole is about 1mm different. This sucks.
I have 2 of these and they are bomb-proof. Never had any problems firing cheap ammo. Love the double action. The 92 has fixed sights and the 99 has adjustable ones. Only problem I ever had was trying some Shot-Shells. Those ones that are small shotgun shells for 9mm. They didn't have enough power to eject the empty case.
Got the same gun ...Good point that you brought up w/the steel guide rod. My bro. got the M9a1 and it came w/ a plastic guide rod..I've shot both extensively and I actually like my Taurus...however, it's very hard to tell the two apart w exception to carrying cocked and locked..Only difference really...Thanks for the EFK Frame-Saver info..I thought about getting one,.. know I know...Much appreciated
great review, thank you. i just ordered one, they are really hard to come by right now. i was wondering if your sights were dead on from the factory, if you could adjust them would you? Thanks
The PT92 is a great gun, I would recommend it to anyone. Very reliable and solidly built, plus it's one nice looking gun. How do you like your Ruger P95? They're awesome guns for the price.....I carry my P95. Thanks for checking out my reviews, hope you liked them.
I kinda wish i went with the same scheme instead of the mix with blackened steel. The only thing you should add to that gun is Pearl handgrips and it will look stunning!. Love my pt92 afs as well, had it for 10 years now.
I just bought one yesterday from Academy Sports and Outdoors in Florida. It comes with a 19 round and a 17 round mag no case just the cardboard box. It went on sale for $379.99 so I had to get it. $408 out the door. Now I just have to wait till next Friday before I can bring it home.
THIS is how Beretta's 92 SHOULD have been designed. :) Safety on the frame. Beretta has the name and is a 500+ year old company. They do make great firearms. it's just their version of the 92...Should be changed. I wonder how Taurus was able to take Beretta's design and modify it. Then sell it as theirs. Naming it the "PT 92". This 92 is so handsome. Love the mirror finish. I wonder if you can get it in nickel. :)
If my info is correct, Taurus purchased the Beretta machines and kept the personnel in place back in the 90's after they finished a run for the Brazillian military. I assume the Brazillians wanted a version with the frame mounted safety/decocker and Beretta did it for them. So there's not much reason they couldn't sell this version as a Beretta. No idea why they stick with the slide mounted safety.
I just bought a handful of stainless magazines at a gun show for mine. Two are 15 round with the Taurus logo on the side. 1 is a Ramline and I wouldn't recommend it, although I don't know how it works yet. It has a strange tape spring. The 4th is a 30 rounder like the one you showed all are stainless.
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!
Hey bud I've put about 3000 rounds through my Taurus PT92 since I bought it. Did your 92 come with that wider frame mounted feed ramp, because when I got mine it was very narrow. So I took a dremel and sandpaper to widen and polish it real good. Nice vid
The frame mounted safety is a beretta item as this gun was tooled from the Beretta "First series" tooling. Look up that model gun on the net and you will see the frame mounted safety/decocker.
In Canada, there is no wait. I can go to my dealer right now and buy this exact gun, I just have to wait 15 minutes for the transfer, in that time I can browse the store for my next purchase :)
quick question, i no i could probably google this info but seeing how you have a PT92 ill ask u do these PT92 take the beretta 92fs mags? seeing how u can get those beretta mags for under 10$, i hear with a little grinding they can be made to work? but how reliable do they feed ? i like the Taurus because of there rail , also if i can find either 1 used, how much would u think a pt92 vs a 92fs could cost me buying used?
You can buy a nice fully adjustable rear sight for this gun from CDNN for about $30 Also the Taurus magazines suck. MecGar makes a great magazine for this gun.
"I know how people are on TH-cam" so do I lol. They're all hyped on gun safety and love to bitch about it just to try and sound educated on the subject of firearms, not because they actually care about your safety.
Please be careful with the safety decocker, I have a PT92AF I bought new back in 1994, cleaning one day and checking out mechanics of how things work, I noticed the safety decocker fired all the way down to the firing pin. I tested this issue while out at the range and it sure enough, fired a round. obviously something internal has malfunctioned with mine that needs tending to, but everything else with it has worked perfectly. It is an awesome firing gun, very comfortable.
Mk. So the decocker does it rotate to block the hammer from hitting the firing pin like a beretta? If not how does it function. I ask cause I am planning on possibly buying one this paycheck
@Dietrich804 Never heard of Ramline but if they work god then they're a nice find. I need to pick up some mags to match the stainless. Probably going to get the Mec-Gar nickel plated mags. They match perfect and are arguably the best quality mags made.
There's no more 3 day wait here. I go in a gun shop and leave ten minutes later with my new gun. I couldn't imagine not being able to own a gun, like in Australia....or even having to wait to get a gun. Some states here DO make you jump through hoops to buy/carry a gun, but not in Pennsylvania where I live. It's very easy to buy a gun and carry it here.
Got PT92 gun question for you. Without the magazine loaded in the well, does your slide lock in place when pulled all the way back or do you have to manually push up on the slide lock lever to lock it into place?
+FallenGod0711 Without the magazine in you would have to manually hold up on the slide lock lever. When the magazine is empty it will lock automatically.
Love mine....Reminds me of my M-9 from my military days 24 years ago....Yup worst USA decision flipping to the M-9 over the 1911....I do understand....I never liked it but understood the why of it....
I remember when I shot the PT92, I had the tendency to sweep the safety too forcefully and ended up accidentally decocking the pistol at times. Otherwise, I love this pistol, I would pick another one up if I had the money
On the Taurus site they say it comes with checkered rubber grips. All the ones I have seen on youtube come with plastic. Is is that the new ones come with rubber or is the site inaccurate?
ya your so lucky , I found a guy that can get me the Taurus but I will be waiting like 6 months grrrr but there is a gun store out hear that has a used one I hope they still got it when I get my PAL Licence
A very decent review of what many consider the Flagship of Taurus semi-auto pistols! Just one minor dig, if you're gonna call it an "In Depth Review", at least actually field strip the firearm. Even though your verbal only explanation was more coherent than many TH-camrs who demo the breakdown in a half assed manner. It is indeed a good home defense weapon, almost as good as my bedside Glock 22. Thanks for sharing! I love my PT92 AFS too!
my bad, the gun stor where I checked this out said15. guess faults on them. I actually almost fell for the gun but what turned me off was that the front sight wasn't replaceable.you had to take it to a gun smith which would cost more than just buying the sights.
I have the tactical black taurus pt92af with the rubber hougue grips and a tac light laser combo with 115 grain fmj rounds just rejuvvinated my sights I got it used $445 I love it I had one issue of a gamer dropin single action but I fixed that
Where as u from bud cause that's a great price on that gun and here in Baltimore MD the price of guns is rediculous ..that same gun in all black here is like 800 bucks so good job to getting that at that price that is a great looking gun and Im sure shoots lovely
Just so you know, Taurus didn't change the safety to the frame. Both Beretta and Taurus had a frame mounted safety at the time this gun started manufacture. It was Beretta that went to the Slide mounted safety with the release of the 92S model. The factory that builds the Taurus, as you said, was a Beretta factory and do was all of the tooling It was a few years after Beretta sold that factory to Taurus that they began production of the 92S model.
I bought one of these a couple years ago (pt99). It's been nothing short of excellent. Never a single malfunction. I know a guy who has a 92fs (which he praised like it was the second coming of Christ). That was part of the reason why I went with the Taurus. I liked the Beretta, but not the $600 price. Not only does the Beretta have a plastic guide rod, the trigger seemed to be made of plastic as well. He told me that it was metal, coated in plastic. Can anyone confirm this?
Without going thru the 233 previous comments. . . how does it shoot? I had a Beretta 92F and it couldn't hit a watermelon at 10 yards! It was like the "cone of impact" was 3 feet wide! I sold it for a loss, and bought a Glock 17 and was ever so happy since. If Taurus has tightened the 92 version up a bit I'm still interested. I have a thing for full metal framed guns as the weight takes up a lot of the recoil, and increases accuracy. Any pistol that can keep a group of 2 inches "free hand" at 10 yards is a friend of mine! (:-|)
If you are still answering questions...if you are....do you think the quality control of these has gone down over the years or is it the same in your opinion as buying one ten years ago verses 2019? Does your 92 eject the rounds with enough force and distance. Also does your slide hold open everytime last round is fired?
I prefer to carry decocked with safety off. I would rather have a long trigger pull to worry about on the first shot than fiddling to flip a safety off in a critical, adrenaline pumped situation but yes, I would be confident in the gun, carrying in that manner. The gun has a drop safety.
Nice and beautiful.I want buy one but i dont have license and i dont know where can i buy it one.Can you tell me where i can buy one gun like yours?Im from Portugal.
lol ya I was at this gun store and they have this used Taurus but I am waiting for my PAL cause I live in Canada and you need a license to own a gun , I am trying to find where they sell Taurus cause worse comes to worse I will have to buy the Beretta inox but I really want to check out this Taurus 92
In 1986 I bought a PT-92 because it was on sale at $180, it became my favorite pistol....at the time I owned 4 Colt .45 ACP Government Models and a shitload of other autos and revolvers.

I just got mine 2 days ago. Damn what a gun, it fits perfectly in my hand and I couldn't ask for more...

Thanks for watching. I love my PT92. $475 is a pretty good price too.
Is this model okay to dry fire?
@@eastbayarea864 yes you can. I believe only rim fire pistols and rifles like a 22 cannot be dry fired.
@@totalnewb123 right on man! Thanks! And man this is a really nice firearm to have I noticed some differences though some models have like a pistol grip. And others I've seen on TH-cam come with a nice big case with also a cleaning rod but those videos are from Brazil so I wonder if in Brazil they come standard with a nice hard plastic case mine came in a cardboard box which is ok I guess but I wanted a case like they had
I paid 660 used fml lol I love it tho lol no regrets even bought a 30 round mag from beretta and modded it to fit 😂
Great review, I've had my PT92 for about 5 years now and its still an amazing piece of hardware!

@ThisizChaveze
I for sure will buddy. I'm glad you decided to make a video on it. I may still pick one up. I'll have the P95 review up in a few days.
I’ve been waiting to get my hands on this gun for years and I just lucked up yesterday on my purchase. Can’t wait to receive it within 2 days
It comes that way. It's because the slide is stainless and the frame is aluminum alloy. They mirror polish the frame and leave the slide a satin finish.

You can get a very close match to the frame if you mirror polish the slide.
Beauty review, I' glad I have one. Thank you.
I bought mine, new, at Academy Sports in 2009 for $425. I have put hundreds of rounds through it with no problems. It shoots straight and true.
i love the way those guns are made,
And the PT99's front sight is a little higher than the PT92. Very awesome sidearm... Great video dude. Keep'em coming.
I've had a blued (Blk. actually) PT-99 for over 20 yrs. (pre-decock) with a little over 2000 rds. put thru it; as u said I could've purchased a Beretta if I had chosen, but the Taurus to me felt better, & loved the location of the safety. Her name is "Lucille" & she has never once failed to go boom, with many different types of ammo, No issues what so ever! I carry mine in a Uncle Mikes shoulder rig with no problems @ all. I would recommend them highly. thanks for video
I agree. For the price you pay, the gun is very reliable and built like a tank. Nice to see a girl into guns! Take care, thanks for watching.

really appreciate your response. I think this is what I want and will carry decocked safety off
Fantastic review.

No problem. You can't go wrong with the 92, 99, 100 or 101.....they are very reliable and quality built pistols.

Great gun
You can buy a nice fully adjustable rear sight for this gun from CDNN for about $30 Also the Taurus magazines suck. MecGar makes a great magazine for this gun.
I'm confident that the gun is of decent quality, but what about the magazines? Ever any feeding issues?

On the Taurus site they say it comes with checkered rubber grips. All the ones I have seen on youtube come with plastic. Is is that the new ones come with rubber or is the site inaccurate?
the hammer looks different, its construction seems weak, is there a danger they would break sooner than solid hammers?
ya your so lucky , I found a guy that can get me the Taurus but I will be waiting like 6 months grrrr but there is a gun store out hear that has a used one I hope they still got it when I get my PAL Licence
@boochieboy814 i was wondering how much you paid for the Taurus 92 ? if you don't mind me asking!
A very decent review of what many consider the Flagship of Taurus semi-auto pistols! Just one minor dig, if you're gonna call it an "In Depth Review", at least actually field strip the firearm. Even though your verbal only explanation was more coherent than many TH-camrs who demo the breakdown in a half assed manner. It is indeed a good home defense weapon, almost as good as my bedside Glock 22. Thanks for sharing! I love my PT92 AFS too!
Can you tell me where did you get the grips and the screws too?
my bad, the gun stor where I checked this out said15. guess faults on them. I actually almost fell for the gun but what turned me off was that the front sight wasn't replaceable.you had to take it to a gun smith which would cost more than just buying the sights.
do the same rules apply for BC?
just wondering because it would be awesome to own this gun :)
thanks
Thanks for watching!
I have the tactical black taurus pt92af with the rubber hougue grips and a tac light laser combo with 115 grain fmj rounds just rejuvvinated my sights I got it used $445 I love it I had one issue of a gamer dropin single action but I fixed that
Hammer drop
I bought one PT 92 AFS manufactured 1999 in excellent condition for $150.00. Love it. Enjoy yours as I do cause they are badass.👍
Its a keeper
@boochieboy814 nice=) I think we are in the same group maximum capacity for every gun!
Where as u from bud cause that's a great price on that gun and here in Baltimore MD the price of guns is rediculous ..that same gun in all black here is like 800 bucks so good job to getting that at that price that is a great looking gun and Im sure shoots lovely
Just so you know, Taurus didn't change the safety to the frame. Both Beretta and Taurus had a frame mounted safety at the time this gun started manufacture. It was Beretta that went to the Slide mounted safety with the release of the 92S model. The factory that builds the Taurus, as you said, was a Beretta factory and do was all of the tooling It was a few years after Beretta sold that factory to Taurus that they began production of the 92S model.
I'm not sure...never looked into it. I guess if there are not any available you could always just sand and polish the stock one.
That sux. Would be nice to have factory checkered rubber grips, but I guess the hogue ones look nice. Thanks for the response.
I bought one of these a couple years ago (pt99). It's been nothing short of excellent. Never a single malfunction. I know a guy who has a 92fs (which he praised like it was the second coming of Christ). That was part of the reason why I went with the Taurus. I liked the Beretta, but not the $600 price. Not only does the Beretta have a plastic guide rod, the trigger seemed to be made of plastic as well. He told me that it was metal, coated in plastic. Can anyone confirm this?
Without going thru the 233 previous comments. . . how does it shoot? I had a Beretta 92F and it couldn't hit a watermelon at 10 yards! It was like the "cone of impact" was 3 feet wide! I sold it for a loss, and bought a Glock 17 and was ever so happy since. If Taurus has tightened the 92 version up a bit I'm still interested. I have a thing for full metal framed guns as the weight takes up a lot of the recoil, and increases accuracy. Any pistol that can keep a group of 2 inches "free hand" at 10 yards is a friend of mine! (:-|)
It looks like your slide is not as polished as the lower, is that from wear or did it come that way?
would you feel safe "cocked & locked" mode of operation?
good god man, I am in silver spring and they have them here for bout 540... come down the road a bit man!!!
Does Taurus still make the stainless PT92 AFS?
If you are still answering questions...if you are....do you think the quality control of these has gone down over the years or is it the same in your opinion as buying one ten years ago verses 2019? Does your 92 eject the rounds with enough force and distance. Also does your slide hold open everytime last round is fired?
I sold the gun probably 3 years ago, but it always functioned fine. I can't say if the newer ones are any better or any worse.
i cannot find any chrome beretta92's or taurus 92's can u help me at all to where exactly you got yours? and for how much
I'm going to have to upload a video of my Taurus PT-92 from 1988...there are a couple little differences.
nice watch i use eather a wenger commando or a seiko kinetic gmt
No, there are minor variances that do not allow them to be interchanged.
I prefer to carry decocked with safety off. I would rather have a long trigger pull to worry about on the first shot than fiddling to flip a safety off in a critical, adrenaline pumped situation but yes, I would be confident in the gun, carrying in that manner. The gun has a drop safety.
hey do you know if a Blackhawk holster will fit this gun
donde puedo conseguir unos de esos amigos espero que me ayuden
The PT92 holds 17 rounds on a factory mag.
Nice and beautiful.I want buy one but i dont have license and i dont know where can i buy it one.Can you tell me where i can buy one gun like yours?Im from Portugal.
I thought this was airsoft?! Holy shit, thats a real gun!
