Short history of the Taurus PT92 and PT99

The Taurus PT92 is a single and double action recoil-fueled semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Taurus in the former Beretta factory in São Paulo, Brazil. It should be noted that in 1974, the Brazilian Army signed a large contract for the Beretta 92 for which Beretta set up a factory in São Paulo. This factory was then sold to the Brazilian arms manufacturer Taurus in 1980, after the contract expired. Soon after, Taurus started using the original Beretta pistols to manufacture their own weapons.

The design of the Taurus PT92 has undergone many revisions since its production in the early 1980s. But despite many design changes, the Taurus PT92 still retains many design elements of the Beretta 92, such as the shape of the trigger. Among the most popular versions of the PT92 is the PT99, which has an adjustable rear sight and a larger front sight.
