- Today we will take the Taurus PT92 out to see what kind of accuracy you can expect from this box-stock pistol. We fired six groups at six different distances and discovered just how smooth of a shooter this pistol can be. Definitely check one out if you are in the market for a Beretta 92 series pistol but want to spend less. I came away from this visit to the range impressed with what it has to offer.

You won't go wrong with the PT-92.
I agree!
I've had mine for 30 years and after that and a dozen other guns the Taurus PT92 is still my favorite. The feel in your hand is just super comfortable. Not my EDC but always my qualifying gun.
It is a great pistol!
I've got a stainless steel model made in 1998, love it. great video
Thanks for watching!
Awesome weapon. My PT92AF is 28 years old and still going strong. If I may make a suggestion. Your rounds may be going low left because your finger isn't far enough on the trigger. So you are pushing it instead of squeezing it. When you relax and shoot, you have time to compensate for the push. Just my experience with some of the CHCL students I've had over the years.
I own this gun. Chuck the stock Torus mags and buy Megar.mags The absolute gold standard. Best parabellam duty pistol ever issued. Toys are made out of plastic. Weapons are made of metal.
Mecgar mags and of course Taurus mags.
Enjoyed your positive review. I agree with all your points, low recoil and comfortable handling. As for reliability, I'm shooting a PT 99 AF, same pistol but with adjustable rear sight. It was manufactured in 1986. Used it for CCW qualifications. Accuracy only gets better over time. I should mention that while the Beretta 92 has many plastic parts including the guide rod, these pistols are all metal, steel slide, alloy frame.
Rich Weatherly Very true! They Re durable, reliable shooters and a great value as well!
The Beretta's plastic guide rod really makes it shoot way right into the target adjacent to it!
just purchased this. its s tank. i hate reviewers defaulting to it being a "clone" which imo blatantly implies it as inferior which is suspect to say the least. this is a Beretta that has been refined,!
@@travisp11 Did you try out mecgar mags on yours?
@@NAMELESSINTERNETADDICT I didn’t
I like your attitude. You're happy with groups that I'm happy with. A 4" group may not sound great to a perfectionist, but for self-defense purposes, it's just fine.
I agree!
I have my second one that I purchased in 2018. It shoots anything I feed it flawlessly. My first one was purchased back in 1989 and it too is reliable and accurate. BTW - I soot out to 100 yards and can still hit the center of the target with a 3" - 4" group. Nice video. Thanks!!
Right on! Thanks for watching!
Amazing accurate gun and talking about eye candy, the PT92 AFS-D
I just recently Purchased a Brand New Taurus PT92, I must say I do not regret it at all. I'm a first time gun owner and Always had my father and uncle train me with a Beretta 92fs.
However a Beretta is just not an option for my budget and I will be honest Girsan Regard was a nice gun but the Taurus PT92 just was my prefrence when shooting it and handling it. The Frame Mounted saftey was another winner for myself as well along with the Decocker. All in All very happy with the PT92, My version is the Black one.
Fun fact the PT92 AFS, it is the handgun of choice for SGT Nicolas Angel from the movie Hot Fuzz, The handgun makes its appareance when Angel and his partner Danny Butterman take on Sanford.
I didn't realize it was in that film! There is a website out there, the International Firearms Movie Database or something like that which you can use to look up which guns were in which movies. Pretty interesting stuff!
Awesome. I have shot a friend's Taurus PT92 a couple of times, there're awesome. Great video Travisp11 👍
i pick a pt 92 AF can't believe how i like this gun and it love's heavy 9mm ammo
Thanks for the vid!
k luper It is a very solid pistol!
The PT-92 is a great pistol. It's a testament to the quality of the Beretta design!
ebrak47 it sure is! Thanks for watching!
The only Taurus I would buy WOD be the pt92
2:52 damn I can tell from that smooth trigger pull that you keep her well cleaned with solvent and lubed with CLP. Good job. You can’t go wrong with the pt92!
It’s an awesome pistol! Thanks for watching!
I know this video is a few years old.
I shot a Beretta 92A1 for the first time a couple days ago as a range rental, and it was nice. I'm a Taurus guy because of price, and I was thinking of getting a TH9 or 9c, but now... maybe I'll get a PT92. My EDC (and only) is the Taurus G2c, I've owned it for about a year.
The PT92s seem to be a solid design that has been around for a long time. I have friends that don’t like Taurus firearms because they have been burned on QC issues but guns like the G2C, G3 and PT92 have made them fans again.
Nice all around gun,price, like in any country, really is priceless ,the testimony is very good, nothing comes close, loves this gun.
Thanks for watching!
Just came from the range.shot my new 92, very accurate.if anyone is thinking of purchasing this gun, do.very well made.very tight.i am extremely happy.I bought a Remington r1 1911 and it rattles like a damn cage,and it cost $200 more. in comparison with the 92, it dont.good video thanks...👍
Chris Rogers Glad you liked it! It is a great pistol!
I gave away one but recently got one back, a vintage and almost in mint condition in bright stainless condition .I couldn't be happier.
Sweet! They are awesome pistols!
Thanks for the review, my birthday is next month and I'm planning on buying one of these.
Right on!
Dang good shooting and love my T92. Its my favorite pistol to shoot. There crazy accurate. Had a beretta yrs ago but had to sale it to pay rent. But now i have the taurus and im going to hang on to it this time. Awsome video thanks for sharring
Thanks for watching! That PT92 is a great gun. I really want one in stainless
Great video sir! Your comment on the recoil feeling "like a staple gun" certainly helps to make the case for me to buy one of these bad boys in the very near future. Thanks very much.
Michael Norman The recoil is minimal while running standard 115 gr. ball ammo. It is a joy to shoot.
Michael Norman just bought one for 300$ came with 2 mags and a hard case
Don't tread on me very nice!
One of my favorite pistols
Right on!
Watched your pt111 video from a hammock, short pants, beer in hand. Tonight watching your PT92 (my son pistol) in the family room sofa with a broken rib and a box of Panadol 500. Such is life. Nice shooting.
PedroPablo You heal quickly!! I recommend at least one beer every 4-6 hours until the pain goes away! Thanks for watching and BTW, my videos are organized into playlists so enjoy travisp11, season 1! Get well, bro!
Small but paifull crack one week ago. Feeling better. Thanks.
PedroPablo Good to know! Rest up!
Thanks. Cheaper, easier on the gun. I will buy. Will let you know my experience, more money for beer, not bad. Have a nice day friend.
Its a great pistol. I got one back in the late 80s. Love the trigger. Trigger was better than most Beretta 92s I have shot. Good accuracy and I think the trigger has a lot to do with that. I did out shoot a Beretta 92 with it. Price has not changed a whole lot. I think I paid around $350-375 back then. That was when I was still going through that wonder nine phase back then and trying out a lot of them. The Smith 9s were really good also. Thanks for the trip back.
RB M No problem. I've owned and fired several Berettas and the PT92 is up there in overall build quality with the 92FS.
Mine was the early version (I think it was an AF) and had none of the add ons like the new ones have. No decocker, no gun lock, no 1913 rail, 15+1 shot, wood grips, and solid hammer. I put a rubber wrap around grip on it in place of the wood panels that really improved the grip. I had no complaints with the pistol at all. I also owned a Beretta 92 and though it was a good pistol (had a good trigger unlike others I had seen), I still lean toward the Taurus 92.
RB M it really is a classic look for that pistol, though.
Haha. Yeah, when I sold it or traded it (stupid to do I know but it was the wonder nine thing going on), I put the wood panels back on and just threw in the rubber wrap around for free. The wood panels did look good but shooting with them was a little on the slick side.
Great video! Congrats
André Hutiel Thank you!
US Military is FUBAR for ditching the M9 pistol.
Just ordered one from my local dealer. Can't wait to shoot it. Thanks for the vids.
James K. No problem! Give it a good cleaning when you get it because Taurus is liberal with the packing oil and run a few hundred rounds through it. Also, I have a range test on this pistol on my channel. Check it out as I think you will like what you see!
What's up.just found your channel love the content thanks for taking the time to do it!!this video on the 92 is what caught my eye.i had a large gun collection in the past but had too sell 99% due to though financial times but I'm starting to collect again(wish i held on too sum of my guns 500$ for a AK-47 and 200-300 for a mossin)i remember paying 110$ for my carbine mossin and 350$ was top of the everyday AK's!!o well live and learn i guess...again thanks for your content.it has been helpful with sum of the newer stuff that's happened sense i wasn't paying attention..keep it up.!!!!
Welcome to the channel! Hey, even though you are starting over with the collection, many new guns are coming out at a low price point so now is a good time to do some shopping!
@13:26 i thought he was gonna start rapping "i have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 M's in my bank account" lol. good vid!
StydianX GameTV The thought did cross my mind!
The PT92 is a quality gun. Handled a few of them. Never had any issues with any of the PT92's I've fired. A couple we put thousands of rounds through with almost no issues. Any issue were due to cheap reloads.
Now Taurus polymer guns...nah! They have serious QC issues and customer service/warranty work is a joke. Talking bad.
Hi! this pistol is made here, and many here can't buy it because it's too expensive! "5,840" reais, we don't have much access to guns, only now with the Bolsonaro government that facilitated purchases, but a lot of bureaucracy and time-consuming, my process is already 3 months old and so far it hasn't come out, a 9 mm ammunition here costs on average" 7" reals can't even be using!! that's why many will live there, to work and achieve impossible dreams here! Brazil!!!!
Just purchased one, put 150 rounds through it all fine
i always felt the term 'speed loader' was kind of comedic, given that it's slower than hand loading.
btw, a lot of the PT 92s and other M9 model pistols from Taurus were actually made in a Berretta factory with the same machines beretta used, so they tend to be very high quality clones.
Sir Poopsalot I agree that you can reload faster by hand without the use of a speed loader except, IMHO when you are shooting extended range sessions. My thumbs sometimes get beat up by the feed lips of some of my magazines so the speed loader can definitely offer some relief when you are gonna burn a few hundred rounds through your pistol.
DeadlyEmoAngel xX i didn't know that, thanks for the info!
DeadlyEmoAngel xX That is good to know because a lot of PT92 customers believe they are getting a pistol built from Beretta machines. Either way, they are making a great gun.
the PT-92/99/100/101 are still made in that factory on the same Beretta machinery from the 70s to this day.
They were made in the original beretta factory that taurus purchased from beretta. They left all the designs and machines behind and the copyright had expired so taurus decided to make their own version. Its basically the exact same gun. Just a couple of tiny differences.
Best pistol around
It is an awesome pistol!
Earned a sub.+like! Love it!
Welcome to the channel!
Man. I feel like I know Stan on a personal level after this video.
He’s pretty cool and a great person to work with!
solid gun and accurate
It really is a great pistol!
A friend told me 2/3 beers per day will help me recover faster as beer improves calcium absortion. Was that the reason for your suggestion of drinking some beer while recovering from my broken rib? You are special caring person. Bless you and your family.
PedroPablo I don't think that I suggested you drink a beer. You had mentioned that you enjoyed a few while watching my PT111 video. If you had more during the PT92 that was all you. I didn't suggest it but hey, if it works than enjoy!
I've paid mine for $380.00 two years ago. I got rid of the factory magazines, because the follower kept nosediving the rounds, and they do not lock the slide back after firing the last round. So, I have bought five 20 round Mec-Gar Anti-Friction magazines for it.
HighFrequencyBlade Raiden I will need to check those out! I'm surprised you were having mag problems, did you check the springs to see if they we're reversed or installed incorrectly? Thanks for watching!
Mine is on layaway at the moment for the same price! I'm getting a 17 round mag, a 20 round mag, and a holster!
Very nice!
I did checked and they were installed correctly. They were bad mags.
HighFrequencyBlade Raiden alright.
Hi body i have the same gunn for 17 yrs and a have put over 2,500 rounds tru it and i have never jam a single bullet it is a best gunn ever 2 yres ago but the g2c to carry and i have put over 500 roun all ready an works perfect its not that acurate as the pt92 bun it a grate gunn and i have use all type of ammiunations
Both solid choices!
Got both guns. They run great. Not one hick up ever. Go Taurus.
@@markferrell0212 Right on!
My PT92 AF and Beretta 92 FS are 33 years old,my PT 92 is just as equal to the Beretta.
Both great guns!
@@travisp11 that's true
You need to do your distance in yards. Post qualification setup: 25 yards strong and weak side. 15 yards strong arm and weak arm. 15 yards kneeling strong side weak side. 7 yards two to center mass and one to the head. 4 yards defensive shooting. Taurus is accurate; you should get a better grouping and 25 yards. Practice and practice.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Always remember that got a group at that distance it’s still a Killshot
This is true
I've had two, love both
Mary Brothers Right on!!
TEAM TAURUS PT92.
I want the new one with the gray cerakote slide and Hogue grips!
Travis I just subscribed to you, and saw your range test of the PT 92 good job shooting there, check out this guy with his PT 92. its actually the best looking 92 I ever saw ua-cam.com/video/q5REQbhaJHY/v-deo.html
@@jurzyjohner432 Welcome to the channel! I will check that video out right now! For the money, it is one of the best Beretta style pistols out there.
@@jurzyjohner432 Yeah, the stainless model is very cool!
AGREED.
Good gun, reliable and solid. The aluminum ammo is the only thing I use now.
Nice shooting. Id drift that. rear sight to the right about half to 1 mm , If it were my pistol.
Doug west I will do that!
Iwas offered those aluminum bullets. Decided to wait until knowing pros and cons. Whats your experience with them, price comparison etc. thanks.
PedroPablo At Walmart, I can buy 50 rounds of aluminum case 9mm for $8.97. Best price I can get on Federal brass 9mm is around $12. The bullets on both are copper FMJ. I don't generally run steel case ammo in my pistols but aluminum is softer and is easier on the chamber and extractor. Other than hearing about one person that had a case split blowing up the round inside the gun (wich may or may not be true) I have never had a problem with aluminum case Federal.
Awesome video and intel..new subscriber here.. i have a PT92 AF-D my wife bought for me as a Christmas gift. She purchased the gun in November 2018, and until last week had not shot it.. i have studied this gun and watched many videos for it, and learned how to break it down and clean it and such. My expectations on taking it to the range for the first time was very high, but i was disappointed upon firing it due to shell casings not ejecting every 2-3 rounds causing a jam, and when it did fire i could feel powder blow back on my face. (I was wearing eye and ear protection) The gun had been cleaned a couple times before i even took it to the range. I love the finish on my 92- blue/cerakote, love all the features but im wandering if it could be a defected gun with issues its having. I have done a deep clean on the gun after firing it, and havent been back to the range yet to test it again...any advice or info?? Thanks in advance!
What are you using for ammo? Steel case? Reloaded ammo? You should not be feeling anything on your fave except maybe the occasional stray case. It almost sounds like the chamber is too small or not made to spec and it is pinching the rounds or the rounds are not seating properly. Personally, I would send the gun back to Taurus. They also brought back their lifetime warranty, too and it should be covered. Call them and explain what it is doing and get it sent back ASAP to have a gunsmith look at it.
@@travisp11 i have been using the remington 115 grain brass rounds...i was also thinking of taking the gun back to the gun store where purchased, and explain to them the issues its having so they can send it back to Taurus to be fixed..
@@michaelmitchell4336 I think that is the best bet.
@@travisp11 thank you for your reply, have a great day!

Nice shooting Travis 11!
You have a very good aim! But it's true, you talk singing anyway or you're doing art.
Otávio Teixeira de Castro Júnior Castro Junior um...ok
i love it...the magazine release is too large for my thumb. i have to switch it otherside and use my index finger to release it
Sir i have a Taurus PT92C compact 13 round magazine not a piece of collection but rare. Where can i buy a 13 round mags for this pistol?. Very hard to find! 😩
Eduardo Silva that is a good question. I looked around a bit online but could not find one.
NICE SHOOTIN TEX !
Dominic Petruzzelli Thanks!
I’ve tried several Taurus hand guns to include both pistols and revolvers. Didn’t like any of them the best review I can give them is they are better then throwing rocks. When you talk feet in shooting 60 feet sounds like a long way away but it’s only 20 yards. This may be one of the best Taurus makes I’ll never own another one.
Will a Bretta 92 blackhawk holster work OK w/the PT92? TY Good video lotsa intel glad it shoots aluminum OK
I am going to say No because you will at least need a holster made for a Beretta with a lower accessory rail. The 92 front lower frame is slimmer and more round vs. the Taurus.
I have a older Taurus PT 99 whitout rail and using a holster for a older Beretta 92 whitout rail, it fits perfect 👍
I'm like a kid in a candy store, I can't decide what I want next ..... CZ, Taurus, S&W 2.0 ....... guide me please ....
Rich Ki. If you want value, get the Taurus. If you don't have a CZ 75 just yet, consider one. Can't comment on the M&P 2.0.
Apologize, did my comment as a way to say thanks. Did not want to put wrong words comming from you. It was just when my friend talked about the beer, bone healing thing I called my sister and looked into google. It is true. So I remembered you and wanted to say THANKS. Sorry. Have a nice day.
PedroPablo Dude, it's all good. No worries.
Either I need this gun or I need to learn how to shoot! 😆
Keep practicing!
if you think a pt92 mag is hard to load by hand try a cheap pistol with a 10 rd mag.

daikumaryugaiking That is a good question. I've never seen that model for sale in the USA so I don't know what to tell you. Try some of eBay's international websites. Also, try calling Taurus to see what they can tell you.
How to get this gun? I’m in indonesia
kurniawan adi Man, I wish I had the answer.
Nice shooting, especially at 60ft.
D Cruz It is a confidence inspiring pistol. The sights were easy to pick up and the trigger predictable. Just about no felt recoil and you can easily keep on the target. It is a very smooth shooter!
Great gun; however, editing is so important. I prefer just getting to the meat. Skip the commentary
I’ve tried to trim the videos down since I made this one. New videos are much shorter.
also Good shooting!
k luper Thanks!!
Hello, how long has the trigger travel to reset on this gun?
Flatterhaft HEAR Maybe 1/2 inch.
travisp11 Thank you:-)
Flatterhaft HEAR You are welcome!
Please review th9 c
If you had bought a Beretta it would have come with a speed loader. $9 more in your pocket.
True
What holster is that?
Outdoor ramsey it is an inexpensive Crossman that I picked up in the hunting section at Walmart. I was so impressed with it that I decided to use it on a regular basis.
Lol! I just bought a Beretta 92 for 340! I got the real deal for less.
Police surplus? Yup they are a good deal but I like the tac rail and the frame mounted safety.
travisp11 no it has the de cocker and it "was" new. To be honest it is a 96 with an extra 92 barrel. I didn't want to brag too much. I get to shoot .40 and 9mm with the same pistol. Yes I know I got a great deal.
gusargoan Right on! I thought maybe it was an Italian surplus pistol.
travisp11 negative brother, made in the US of A! I love it!
gusargoan Gotcha...I have a 92FS compact inox in the collection, too.
Olá! essa pistola é feita aqui, e muitos aqui nao consegue comprar por ser muito cara! "5.840" reais,não temos muito asseso a armas, so agora com o governo Bolsonaro que facilitou as compras, mas muito burocracia e demorado, meu processo ja tem 3 meses e ate agora nao saiu, uma munição aqui 9 mm custa em media" 7" reais nao da nem para ficar usando!! por isso muitos vão morar ai, para trabalhar e conseguir realizar sonhos impossíveis aqui!

Damn I paid $450 for a brand new Beretta 92fs!!! Last year.
Prices always change. You can now get PT92s for $375. They are not significantly less than a Beretta but still a decent gun for the money.

Michael Murphy This video also included a range report which includes my reaction to the pistol and its overall value. It doesn't take long to run through 50-100 rounds on camera.
Dam you talk to much!!! Just shot the gun already!!!!!
It is necessary for me to mention many of the features of the gun before I go to the range. If I don't I get a crazy number of questions on each video I make so yeah, I am chatty but I am addressing many of the questions that my viewers have. Don't forget you can fast forward and you will be happy to know that in later videos I get to the range quicker.
You talk a lot.
Yeah, I was a bit wordy in my earlier videos. I've gotten better. Thank you for watching.
