Taurus pt-92 for competition

[jon_in_wv]

This may have already been hashed out but I was thinking the Taurus pt-92 might not be a bad choice for a versatile competition gun. I can use it for IDPA in SSP or "cocked and locked" for ESP. Jarvis custom makes nice custom barrels for it and I've seen them set up with a compensator for a fraction of what other custom guns cost. The new ones come with the accessory rail so I could use (or fabricate) a scope mount for those competitions that allow it. I know it won't be a tuned 1911 but for the money it seems like a good place to start. Whats your opinion?

Note: No "get a glock" please. I'm not asking about Glocks, as fine as they are, I'm asking about a Taurus PT-92. If someone wants to talk me into a CZ75 for the role I descibed I can certainly understand that argument though.

The PT92 is a good gun and has sufficient accuracy for shooting plates and such. The thing that the PT92's I have and have handled would benifit the most from is a trigger job. Other than that they'd be a good platform for accessories.

I have one that I am going to shoot in USPSA Production class as soon as I can scrape up a couple more magazines. Mine has a decent trigger, decent accuracy, reliable as heck, reasonable sights and so on. Have been using a G17 and it is a great gun, but for a little variety I want to drag the Taurus out and stretch its legs a little. I shoot it pretty well, so it should be fun.

IMHO, they are still a good value & would make a nice base for a gun you plan to use as your play gun. Get one, try it & if it works...GREAT, if not, find something else...no harm, no foul
