@CamGaylorOutdoors Beretta is superior but for my hard earned money, it's not superior enough for me to spend the extra few hundred dollars. Not casting any shade on those who do
Owned both and definitely love both. I liked the Taurus better because of the safety. Taurus also has a better price point, which puts it more in reach to a lot of people.
As much as I like the beretta, I have more than once accidentally engaged the safety when racking the slide. I’m keenly interested in trying out the Taurus.
@@danielbell4007 I know they make beretta pistols now with the frame mounted safety but they’re pricey. I do agree it is easy to hit that safety whole racking the slide, I’ve done it several times.
I have both pistols and both have more than 10000 rounds thru. The Taurus and the Beretta are both extremly reliable and durable pistols, i trust both with my live. The 1911 style safety lever on the Taurus is more ergonomic. The PT92 magazines are trash, Mec-Gar has good ones, Beretta mags do not work in the PT92. The Beretta is made nicer and to me it is a work of art. Both guns are in use by military and police around the globe.
In 1986 my brother bought a Beretta 92 and I bought a Taurus PT99. The fit and finish were the same, the difference between the two guns was the safety. Beretta's was advanced and rotated the firing pin while Taurus just locked. We swapped slides and racked them back and forth just for shits and grins but we didn't fire them. It was crazy how identical the two guns were. I paid about $250.00 for mine while the Beretta was $600.00 at the time, and we're still having fun with them today forty years later. No jams, no misfeeds.
The original Beretta had a frame safety like Taurus with a heel mag release. And Beretta got the curved trigger gaurd from Taurus, and Taurus can run cocked and locked. I like and have both, good review 👍👍
The Taurus grip in the front also is straight all of the way down to the bottom, like the original Beretta 92 and the 92SB. Also, for those that care, the Beretta trigger will not fit the Taurus without modification because of the differences in the trigger guard dimensions, BUT, you CAN put the more curved PT92 trigger into the Beretta without modification. If you have small to medium sized hands, you might be very surprised how much easier the Double Action is in the Beretta with the Taurus trigger installed :)
Great review! Fit and finish wise I think, difference is minimal, yeah serial numbers are a bit rough on taurus , but that dont affect anything. Fot the money Taurus cant be beaten. I read about reliability issues with Beretta m9a4 and thats 1200 $ handgun... Serations and safety look to be more comfortable on Taurus
I've got an earlier Taurus PT 92 ASF (no lock, no picatinni rail) made just after the buy out using same blueprints, machines and some staff that stayed. The stainless has no serial number roughness. The floor plate of the magazine is same as Beretta. Edges are smooth. Slide grip is wide and excellent if hot and sweaty. Much prefer the Taurus.
I had a 92FS back in the early '90s and I got that pistol after I had a Taurus PT92. I actually prefer the PT92 because of the frame mounted safety. The trigger on the PT92 was better than most 92FS at that time but Beretta triggers got better in the '90s than they had been in the past at least on the 92FS I got. My PT92 could beat my both my buddies 92FS pistols in accuracy. Yes I still prefer the PT92 over the 92FS. Thanks for sharing.
I have the Taurus and debated heavily whether to get that or the Girsan. I just couldnt bring myself to go with a slide mounted safety and the 92x Performance was not in the price range I was looking at. It's the most accurate handgun I own. And there's still a lot you can do to it even though a lot of Beretta parts don't fit. I was thinking about doing a video on it because I haven't seen anyone with the mods I have.
In 1995 I purchased a brand new PT 96 after getting out of the Marine Corps. I Had both a Berretta M9 and 1911 and they both were great side arms. The PT96 was a stove-pipe-o-matic. Don’t know if it was the magazines but couldn’t get through one mag without stove-piping. Only had it a couple months before I sold it. Nice looking gun, with wood grips. In hindsight I should have sent it in for warranty but wasn’t trying to fool with being weaponless for a month.
PT92 during the 1980s-'90s use to come with 15 rd magazine but during the 2000s to attract buyers decided to bump up 2 more rds and a much lower price.Also another difference,PT 92 barrel length is 5 inches while the 92FS barrel length is 4.9 inches(almost a full 5").
That generation of Taurus looks getto, espicially Sitting next to a Beretta. I own one of the original Taurus 92's that was made in the original factory on Beretta machinery. It looks exactly like the Beretta you have there in every way shape form fit and finish, except that has some subtle Taurus roll marks on it. It is actually blued, Neither of the pistols there are blue. I really like mine, wouldn't own a new production they skimped big on the fit and finish and just look out right pimpish. They need to put that trigger guard on a diet... That's just for starters.
Here's the miss-The Taurus is a top contender with the Original 92 design ( safety/decock) and a trigger that runs circles around the Beretta. Let's try to shoot straight next time.
This is a newer Taurus need yo compare similar models. Close but no cigar. I have the first gen tarus that used the Beretta stamps contact if u want me to send it or vids
Yes, the lanyard is still used int he military, but it's not so people can't take it. It's so you can't leave it anywhere. If it fell out or you set it down, you can't leave it there. Mostly for training because losing a weapon in the military in pease time is a VERY big deal.
Don't know about today, but in the 70's the MP's walking the street on the party strip off Ft. Bragg used lanyards. I believe that was for retention back then. That party strip/Hay St was like the wild west back then... It was great 😀
what the taurus has over the beretta or girsan frame mounted safety decocker and can carry it cocked and locked and holds 17 rounds new one are said to have 18
Ok, so keep my PT92 and just buy a Beretta.. got it. Besides, the satin cerakote FDE finish is soft and smooth on my PT and it hasn't failed me not once 😎 🤫 Knock on wood.
For people wondering which to get Beretta will always be king they started gun manufacturing with a 500 year legacy but with modern advancedments and taurus regaining their name and quality theres no need to drop $700-$1000 on berettas unchanged design when taurus has changed the ergonomics slimmed the design down and given a saftey so everyone can feel comfortable for $400-$600 and if you want it just for looks Taurus offers sexy gold accents and other models for the $500-$600 ballpark
Well that is because Taurus in 2011 changed the way they made the PT92. Back in 1992 When Taurus bought the Beretta factory In brazil, Beretta sold the rights and the machines and blueprints to Taurus, and when Taurus started making this gun, it was called the Taurus PT99 Not PT92. when they was manufacturing the PT99 it was the same exact thing as the Beretta 92 All the Taurus PT99 AF PARA handguns starting from 1992 to 2011 was made exactly as the Beretta 92 was No real difference. And it had the Blue Smooth Polished Finish like the Beretta was, and they was no De-cocker at all on either the Beretta or Taurus, until after 2011.. I know this first hand i studied all this history and i own a Taurus PT99 AF Para, this gun is way better than all the Taurus PT92 Made After 2011 Way better.. i am going to do a review and look video on it so watch for it.
One BIGGIE you didn't mention. You talk about the safeties, but you don't mention, the Taurus's safety facilitates Condition 1 carry. The Beretta does not
@@CamGaylor I personally wouldn't either, but that has nothing to do with it. In a video titled "Beretta 92F VS Taurus PT92 (Comparison)" I certainly think it undisputedly warrants mentioning this capability/difference.
@@CamGaylor also I just looked online not too long ago these pt100 is hard to find yes you might have a chance to find at the local gun shop which I did can’t find them prices go up my guy

I hate to say this but that pt92 isn't shit compared to the 92fs it's like comparing a Ford mustang to a Ford Taurus it's painfully obvious that the quality by glance the Beretta is quality metal the Taurus has got that cheap shiny lacker finish it's a good imitation but you cannot compare a gun that's 400 bucks to a gun that's 800 I paid almost 900 for my 92fs there's a big difference in quality right off the bat now I would compare the pt92 to other 400 dollar guns like the sw sd9ve or the sd40 or any other gun in the 400 dollar range I think the girsan regard is a more spot on imitation of the 92fs compared to the pt92
I carried the Beretta in the army. I bought the Taurus after I got out and carried it for years. I liked both pretty much equally
I like them both as well. Although I am a big beretta fan

Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching
Depending on the years, the early pre-de-cocking Taurus are very good, more similar to the Beretta.
I heard the Beretta can accitentally go on safe when you rack it due to the safety lever on the slide. Have you noticed that?
No
I'll take the Taurus. From an ergonomic viewpoint, I believe the proper place for a safety on a pistol is on the frame, not on the slide.
Definitely taurus just based on the looks

@@mrdato116exactly 💯
@@Sandhill1988I love the taurus
The Berreta has a slightly larger grip. The trigger guard is larger as well, allowing for larger fingers, or glove.
I think, repeat, think the Barrel length of the Beretta 92fs is 4.9" while the Taurus PT92's barrel is 5". An extra smidgen of accuracy for Taurus.

You didn’t mention the big gap between the slide and barrel on taurus, witch affects the grouping
I didn't mention it because there's no discernable gap difference between the two guns, and both are accurate.

Yeah, that’s 100% wrong. The Beretta 92S had a decocker in 1976.
The Taurus PT 99 (no longer offered ) has adjustable rear sights. The PT 92 does not.
PT92 better and sexier than anything Beretta has made the last 10+ decade.
its basically the same gun with a few small differences lol.
