I think the Taurus PT 92 AFS is a great choice for beginners. It’s enjoyable to shoot, but I did have some occasional ejection issues. Just a few flukes though.

I’ve had my Taurus PT 92 AFS for about a year now, and I must say it holds up well against the Beretta 92. The stainless steel finish is a great feature for durability and looks fantastic.

That finish definitely gives it an edge! How does it compare in terms of accuracy and recoil with the Glock models?

14

In my experience, the Taurus has less recoil due to its weight, which makes it easier to handle than some Glocks. It also has a smoother trigger pull!

Price-wise, the Taurus is usually more affordable than the Beretta, which is a significant factor for many of us. You get a lot of value for what you pay!

18

That’s a good point. Has anyone had issues with reliability or jams? I’ve heard mixed reviews.

I’ve fired over 500 rounds without a single jam, so I’d say it’s quite reliable. However, it’s important to keep it clean like any firearm.

Fair enough! But what’s the catch? Can it stand the test against a Glock in a high-stress situation?
