I bought my PT92 AFS new less than 6 months ago, and it has a full length metal guide rod. If they've changed it must be very recentlly, or else they have since changed back.

I think they changed back. I bought a new one in 99 that had a plastic one. This one has a stainless, and Berettas have had a plastic one for years.

Back in the mid 80s I bought my first gun, and on my brother's recommendation, I got a Taurus PT-92. In the decades following, I've added over 25 guns to that collection. None of those guns have more rounds fired through them, none of them have been more reliable, and other than a CZ75b and a SW 686, none have been more accurate. With over 15,000 rounds through it, it still has action smooth as butter. My son will inherit that Taurus, and hopefully will serve him just as well.

I love my PT92 AFS... I just don't use it for competitions. I use a high thumbs forward grip, with the strong hand thumb resting on the safety - OOPS! I mean the DECOCKER... RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A STRING!

Other than accidentally decocking the gun while shooting fast, I love the feel and the accuracy.

That's odd. I have a PT-92AFS and it doesn't have a de-cocker. Oh well.

How does the trigger feel is comparison to the Beretta??

If you shot a Beretta 92 of course.

Cool, thanks!

Well, I don't recall having fired a Beretta 92, but since the Taurus is made on the same machinery that originally made Beretta's for the Brazilian military, then I have to assume the trigger pull is similar.

That's an excellent handgun. My dad purchased one a couple of weeks ago for his first handgun and he absolutely loves it. I gotta admit that I like it a lot too. It had worked flawlessly with the 150 or so rounds that we put through it so far.

Shot an M-9 for many years in the Air Force, and bought an Italian-made Beretta 92FS about a year ago. Triggers were all very similar, but I still give the nod to the Taurus. (Maybe because it has over 15,000 rounds through it.)
Not a trigger like a 1911 but very sweet nonetheless.
