Hello,

My name is Tim Gordon and I'm from Ontario, Canada. In the spring of this year I started the hiring process with my local police department, I'm sure things differ from state to state in the U.S. but in Canada it's quite a long process before you even get hired and then go to police college. I have never been interested in firearms before and had never used one, I picked up my firearm license and took the extra time to get restricted status (allowing me to purchase, own and use pistols/revolvers) and purchased a Glock 22 to practice with at the range before police college. At first I treated shooting as professional development only, the Glock was simply utilitarian and I didn't enjoy the sport. Then, something clicked when I saw a Beretta, what a gorgeous looking firearm. Unfortunately with the looming cost of police college I can not afford to purchase a Beretta so instead I've found a good deal on a used Taurus PT92.

This is what brings me here, soon, I will be a proud Taurus owner!

Tim.

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome!

Any recommendations of best places to order 10 round mags for the PT92, also any good grip recommendations? I'm thinking about getting a LaserMax internal laser (replaces guide rod) for the PT92 because the one I have for my Glock 22 is just SO much fun.

Also, any ammo you know of that these Taurus' prefer?

Any preference/word on the 92C models? I have a line on a good one for cheap but can't decide between a 92C and a Glock 19. Let me know what you think would work best.

Is there anything I should look out for? Does this look troubling? The vendor calls it muzzle rub, I believe it's only superficial? I think I'm getting a good deal on this pistol, only $450 Canadian. To be honest, I wish I was getting just a few bucks less because of the looming cost of police college coming up.

Just wondering why not get a G19 if I already have the G22? They're too similar?

Thanks for the input qwiks draw!

Personally, I want to get the G23 because I believe it will be more fun to shoot than the full size G22 I have. Also, I plan on getting a conversion barrel for the G23 down to 9mm but not the G22. I strictly use the G22 as a utilitarian pistol, prepartion for police college and that's about it, the PT92 to me is a great looking pistol that I can't wait to shoot and the G23 I hope will be more comfortable and sporty feeling than the G22.
