We were returning from Reno yesterday, and of course we stopped by Cabelas, where I spied a Taurus PT92 in their used guns case.
My son had been looking for an autoloader other than a 22lr, so I pointed it out to him. The gun is, from the looks of it, an early version, with the wood grips with gold medallions, and the early style engraving on the left side of the slide with small Taurus logo rather than the laser etched large Taurus logo they are currently using.
The gun is like the one in the picture below.
Mechanically the gun looks to be in very good condition, no wobble or loose parts, but it does show a bit of wear around the nose, probably holster wear.
Anyway, the price was $299, and since he applied for their card, he got an additional $25 off. The gun is being shipped to our local FFL and we should be able to get the paperwork done tomorrow and get it in 10 days.
SO, what do you guys think, did we do OK? I know the later PT92 and PT99 models got very good reviews, but I haven't found many reviews of the first generation PT92's. Anyone here have any experiences they'd like to share?
NOTE: I found this picture through Google search on a trading board, and I'm using it as an example. If you are the owner of this picture and want me to take it down, please let me know and I will do so immediately
