I've wanted a metal framed, hammer fired 9MM for a while. Stopped by LGS today to look around. He had a PT 92 in the case I asked to see. It looks nearly new with very slight rubs on the front edge of the slide (99.9% blue), not a scratch on it. I asked how much, he replied $325. To which I said "if you'll pay the tax (8%) Ill take it". Walked out $325 lighter and figured a got a decent deal. He told me he didn't think it had been fired much and the appearance testifies to that. He took it in on a trade for a smaller gun from a guy who thought the 92 was too big.
I field stripped it and seen very minimal wear. The innards are much more substantial looking than my PT111 G2 for only $100 more.
The mag capacity is supposed to be 17 but I can only get 16 in either one..... normal? There is no loaded chamber indicator... its age? You have to pull the trigger to get the decocker to work while pressing down on the lever, something I feel uncomfortable doing... defective?
I'm holster poor. The 92 fits my Ruger SR40 holster with about 1/2 inch of the muzzle sticking out.... it'll work.
I just love buying "new" guns
Pics to follow if I can get my camera battery to charge.
Disregard the decocker problem. It was just stiff but loosened up with a a few operations. Probably never been used.
I just looked up the serial number on Taurus website. Year of production 2008... This thing is a closet queen
Pics as promised
