Taurus PT-92 vs Taurus PT-1911 round 1

[richardraw316]

This one is for the people who are frugal, i.e. cheap.
quite a few of you do not like Taurus, but will agree that these two are the best weapons made by them. some would say it is because they are not original taurus designs. but they do offer a cheap alternative to the higher end pistols. plus either a round 2 battle between m9 vs pt92 or m1911 vs pt1911 would be very interesting.

Another poll without a real question being asked? Clarify man, clarify!

What do you want to know? Peoples preference? Reliablility? What model was a better knock off of someone else's design?

I've owned two taurus revolvers that both had problems. That pretty much ruined taurus guns for me. I can't pick one up and get the sense of confidence I need to overcome my experience.

I picked the 92, as I have a 99 that is about 20 years old and is a very good gun. If I were looking at 1911's there would be many others before the Taurus I would look at in the same price range. If I were looking for a Beretta type, full size, all metal 9 MM, in that price range, the 92 or 99 would probably still be near the top of the list.

i had a pt-92 myself, and i did enjoy the fact you get good quality, for a lot less than beretta charges.

I only have & shot the 1911. I enjoy the this firearm.

I've actually heard a lot of good about both of these Taurus models, but I think as far as they're priced compared to what's out there in the market you'll get more for your money with a taurus 1911 compared to it's competitors than a 99 compared to the 92fs. I haven't owned either though.

I own both pt 92 and the pt1911 in 9mm tho. They are both great guns, but if I had to pick one I'd go with the 92

I vote PT92. PSS made me a good deal on one almost 2 years ago.Great shooter-fits me to a "T". High quality at a great price. Now saving for the 1911...
