This is the two tone Taurus PT92 I got several months ago and the accompanying target I shot freehand at 15yds. I have had several Beretta's over the years and really find I like this pistol better. The frame mounted safety decocker is the main reason for this. It can be carried cocked and locked like my 1911's and I really like to keep the same type of controls on my pistols, just in case tshtf so to speak.

Those are some nice pics! :)
Love that two-tone look.
How much did the PT92 cost in Your neck of the woods? It does have the built-in lock, right?
Come to think of it... would You or anyone else know if this Taurus has the "plastic" parts that the Beretta has?

[rblack]

Hi Jim, This pistol has no plastic. It is a limited run and yes it has the lock built in. My dealer had it listed at $440, but I got it out the door for $400 even. Hope this helps...............

That has to be one of the best looking two-tone guns I have seen. How limited of a run was it?

[rblack]

Flashpoint, I'm pretty sure you can still get them.

Awesome Pictures. I love the two-tone! I own a PT92AR with Rails in Stainless Steel.

Very cool looking gun...I was just gifted a 92AF....haven't seen it yet. I already have a Beretta 92 but am still looking forward to the AF since so many of you have such nice things to say about the big Taurus...and I really like the frame mounted safety...much easier to swipe down than up...

Serpico,

You will definitely fall in love with the Taurus. Are you getting a SS or Blue? But either one, a lot of people prefer the frame mounted safety on the PT92 (just like 1911's).

Here's a picture of mine:

Nice gun...it's blue with smooth wood grips and a little gold emblem...but the mags are hard to insert/release...is this normal with AFs or do I have to tweak the mag release?

On a side note, who makes some aftermarket grips...gun is in perfect shape and I may want to put the wood away and keep them nice...

[Grayrock]

Mine is neither blue, nor stainless. I do not remember what they call this finish. With the grips, it sort of has that 2 tone look. I like the Pachmayr grips a lot.http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?s=&postid=972724

Grayrock,

Its Nickel Plated. That's an unsual looking grip...looks like it's sliced... or is that a design.

rblack,

I really, really, really like your PT-92-SPL! One of the best looking stock pistols I have seen my friend! It's actually a "handsome" pistol! Have you checked into night sights for it?

[rblack]

Marshall, No I haven't because I have 4 other handguns with night sights and I rotate them for home defense. Thanks for the nice comments...............

[Grayrock]

T-boy- I misremember what the finish was called, but even though it could be nickel plated, it wasn't named that. The triangular area of the Pachmayr Medallion grip is a slightly elevated thumb rest. The circular part is lower in "elevation" to allow the thumb to reach the magazine release.http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?s=&postid=974344
