I need to pick some brains about the difference between a Beretta 92fs and a Taurus PT-92. I was at the local indoor range and mentioned to one of the guys behind the counter that I was interested in a Beretta. He stated a Taurus was a better value, with a lifetime warranty and some part (sorry can’t remember) in the firing system breaks LESS in the Taurus compared to the Beretta.
I don’t care about the following: resale value, name brand, or comparisons to other brands not under consideration. I am looking at these two only for the next purchase (9mm).
I do care about: safety, longevity, ambidextrous controls, and stainless steel for this purchase.
My use would be: range and home – no competition or concealed carry so size doesn’t matter. I don’t intend to have any trigger work, etc performed on the gun. So “As Is” performance is key.
With that background I am interested in opinions on either of the above.
Is there a major difference between the two?
Will one Beretta outlive two of the Taurus? Or vice-a-versa?
Are there internal differences not outwardly apparent that makes one better for my stated purposes?
Or does an apples to apples comparison show no difference in price/performance once they are outfitted the same?
Thanks in advance for you assistance and opinions,
Michael.
