Beretta 92fs vs Taurus PT92 af

[revolver club prez]

I have not owned either pistol , however I have seen what other have owned and have seen the results of firing lots of rounds , perhaps more than some , as our guns can only be fired at an approved range here .

The result is that the Taurus pistols break down more often than quality pistols do . The Taurus 92's tend to shear the locking arrangement on the under side of the barrel . Also Imbel 45 pistols do the same . A side note, the Taurus in question was imported into Canada before Taurus USA was established . The owner was told by Taurus USA , too bad we don't know you . I do not know if a Beretta barrel would fit a Taurus pistol .

Regards .

Hogue G10 grips came in. I was told they were thinner than factory grips. If they are, it's not by much. I can't really tell the difference. But the G10 material and texture give it a much better feel and that's what I was looking for.

Seems like a good gun. I'll admit, the blingy chrome ones are cool.

I think they're actually polished stainless.

Thanks. This is one of the best, most informative posts in this topic.

But I think you're referring to the locking block? That is a poor design that has been re-done in real Berettas, now on the Third Generation locking blocks.I think they're now supposed to last about 30,000 rounds, about three times longer than the early ones.

Thanks, too, for the data on Imbel .45's, the basis for the Springfield Armory guns sold here.

The locking blocks are a known issue in the Beretta and its cousin Taurus.
I read somewhere that the blocks will fit either brand.

I am not a fan of the Taurus PT92. I was given one to use on a shooting course and the safety/decocker just did not work as it should. In fact my South African made Z88 was infinitely more reliable.

As an aside, I have a .25 Beretta made in Brazil and it works flawlessly. A friend bought a .25 Taurus and in never worked properly right out the box. Sent in for repairs and still doesn't work.

Me, I'd stay with Beretta. I've used the S and SBs in particular without any issues.

I will say this, to those moaning about the slide mounted safeties on the Berettas and the issues they can potentially cause, there is an affordable kit out now from Beretta that can turn the standard safety decocker into a "G-style" decocker only. It prevents the safety from accidentally being placed on during slide manipulation or at any time really, and it a tremendous upgrade. Worth a look.

Second on the G model or the decocker kit.

Great upgrade.....................


Did both of my Centurions...... kits are $50-55..... Beretta is having a 20% off sale now.

Changing out the standard safety/decocker to the "G" type is going to be my X-mas day project.
