I somewhat vaguely recall that there was another Taurus pistol in the PT92/99, PT58 "family" (that is, of similar design and construction). Perhaps a .32? Anybody remember?

.380 much along the PT92 line, only nicer. It was an almost exact copy of the smaller Beretta "what ya call it". Anymore nice examples are a difficult find.

Closed slide, though. Last ones I saw for sale were at the Ky Gun Co.

The .380 "family member" is the PT58, which I found in 95% condition last year. The model I am trying to place would be a Taurus interpretation of the Beretta .32acp Cheetah most likely-

(And do my eyes deceive me, or is the safety on the frame?)

No, as I recall it was just as the PT92 line. There was another .380 that was more along the design of the PT945/940/957 line but a much smaller frame. This was a closed slide/barrel

I don't recall there being a 32 cal Taurus. But then what do I know? Better yet, what all have I forgotten?

And I could very well have been imagining it...

ahhh--the not to long ago Taurus 732???
a TCP chambered in 32 auto instead of 380 auto.
I think it was made for like 60 days and hen disappeared.

The more I think of it, the more certain I am that I saw the .32 Cheetah and wished there were a stainless counterpart by Taurus to match my PT58 and PT92.

Those Beretta cross-overs are sweet, fine pistols...

This would work fairly nicely...

The only one I can think of was designed and manufactured for Taurus by Michael McDoesntexist.

As far as Taurus 732s go:Remembering the Taurus PT 732 - Guns.com

Got two of those puppies. It's more user friendly for me than the Taurus 738 and carries well in a pocket or IWB holster.

Oh, yes. I have a Beretta 81 as well. The 732s compliment the Beretta 81.

IIRC, the Beretta Cheetah in .32 is the Model 81. It is, in appearance if not function, a mini 92. Bud's has one for sale on line, although it is a bit pricey. You can also take the Cheetah model 84 in 380 and drop in a .32 barrel.

Here's the "family" I would have liked to add to-

"PT-92 got rails...
PT-58 don't..."

Except that's a .380. There is a .32: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/738559647 Then you could send it out and have it hard-chromed or some other silver finish like Electroless Nickel.
