Before anyone starts to salivate excessively (or fire up their flame-cannons, as the case may be) let me make it clear that this isn’t a review. Like H.G. Wells’ 1936 Sci-Fi classic, it’s merely a glimpse of Things To Come . . .
All I’ll say so far about Taurus’ big service pistol is that it’s big (34 oz. empty), extremely comfortable, and shows a level of fit and finish that might be just one cloth buffing-wheel shy of a SIG SAUER. The Taurus’ long DA (double action) trigger pull is consistent and reasonably light, at a hair over nine pounds. The SA (single action) trigger pull is exactly five pounds, with a short takeup and an awesomely crisp break. The trigger reset is a very short 3mm.
There are just two minor hiccups so far: the gun came drenched and dripping with oil in its shipping box and you’ll probably lose a thumbnail before you’ll manage to jam that 17th round into either of its allegedly 17-round magazines.
Stay tuned for the full review. This should be fun.
How about, that review?
I recently purchased the Taurus PT92 AFS. It is my first handgun, and I love everything about it. It feels good, shoots nicely, and I don’t have any complaints, except for the fact that it comes in a cardboard box. No case, whatsoever. Upside: It breaks down VERY easily, has several safety functions, and of course… looks extremely cool.
This is NOT me, but a review that I watched prior to my own purchase.

just bought mine, so far so good. Sweet shooter…
Got the very latest version,92 afs with adjustable front and rear sights. Added VZ grips, Beretta d spring, Titanium nitride on controls, had the barrel cryo treated. It’s all back together and I friggin love it. I’ve modified some Beretta mags to work with it. Just put about 450 rounds through it, I’m making a hybrid leather/kydex holster for it with the viridian c3 light and laser… This is a sweet shooter. Ordered extra springs so I’m set.
