The Taurus PT92 9mm in matte black is a full-size hammer-fired pistol with a 5-inch barrel and a 17-round magazine (brand part no. 1-920151-17). Taurus builds the 92 on an aluminum frame with a frame-mounted ambidextrous manual safety that also works as a decocking lever, so it can be carried cocked and locked or decocked. The double action/single action trigger and drift-adjustable rear sight suit range use and home defense. An integral Picatinny rail gives you a place for a weapon light. Two magazines come with the pistol.
