Gun Descriptions

In 1980, Taurus purchased the Beretta factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil "lock, stock and barrel" and immediately sought to improve on the Beretta design, resulting in the popular and acclaimed Taurus 92 and 99 9mm pistols. Taurus' specially designed drop hammer forged ordnance grade alloy frame won't crack or allow the slide to come off. Other innovations include a three position frame mounted ambidextrous safety, which is more secure than a slide mounted safety, and allows for a classic SA "cocked and locked" mode, as well as functioning as a DA decocking lever. Available in fixed sight model 92 and in adjustable sight model 99, you'll be able to face any situation without compromise. Specifications and Features: Taurus 92 192015117 9mm Luger 5" barrel 1:9.84" twist with 6 grooves 17 round magazine 3-position ambidextrous safety/decocker Loaded chamber indicator Single/double action Large alloy frame with accessory rail Black checkered rubber grips Fixed 3 dot sights 5.543" tall 1.606" wide 8.5" overall length 34 ounce unloaded Blued finish. The Taurus PT92 is a fan favorite for a few reasons. One it has a large magazine relative to it's size. Also, I really love how it's safety operates, especially since I'm a gunowner that's a parent. Lastly, it has the typical Taurus reliability and accuracy. Our overall thoughts: the Taurus PT92 is great!

The Beretta M9—officially the Pistol, Semiautomatic, 9mm, M9—is the designation for the Beretta 92FS semi-automatic pistol used by the United States Armed Forces. The M9 was adopted by the United States military as their service pistol in 1985. The 92FS won a competition in the 1980s to replace the M1911A1 as the primary sidearm of the U.S. military, beating many other contenders, and only narrowly defeating the SIG Sauer P226 for cost reasons. It officially entered service in 1990. Some other pistols have been adopted to a lesser extent, namely the SIG P228 pistol, and other models remain in use in certain niches. The M9 was scheduled to be replaced under a United States Army program, the Future Handgun System (FHS), which was merged with the SOF Combat Pistol program to create the Joint Combat Pistol (JCP). The JCP was renamed Combat Pistol (CP), and the number of pistols to be bought was drastically cut back. The U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps are replacing the M9 with the SIG Sauer M17 and M18.
