I see a revived threat about 917 vs 92c....but it is mostly about size comparisons.

I'd like a bit more on opinions about function, accuracy, and reliability as I saw a Taurus 917cs in LGS for about $200. I haven't had a Taurus in some years, but when I had a 92 and later a 99 they worked just fine (didn't have the problems with them reported on the interwebs).

Wondering about this model. Seems to be a cut down 92 on the front end and I understand they take regular 92/99 mags so I'll assume the grip is the same size. Looked good, felt like someone put a D-spring when I tried DA and the SA was okay.

Price is almost too low to say no to...but if anyone has any experience with them I'd be interested to hear it.

$200 I would grab it in a heartbeat!

I agree, for $200.00 it would have left the store with me. Great find.

I have a 917CS. It is a shorter 92 with a rail.

I like the balance better than the full length 92. If you like shooting the 92/99 you will
also like the 917. JMHO

Yes it uses the same mags.

$200 is a good deal.

If I could find a deal on a 917cs like that, I would buy it in a heartbeat!!!

What Gunshop did you say this was at?

Love mine. Great gun.

Send a link to the LGS. Unless you already bought it.

If you haven't already made the purchase.....I have a PT917cs blued in box with all of the goodies only about 200 rounds through it with the original receipt I would sell for $325.00. I also have a PT945 same condition and goodies. I will be posting them if I don't trade them this Saturday at the gun show here in Dallas.
