Taurus runs hot and cold on the quality of their firearms. I've had a lot of them thru the shop. I've seen them in perfect quality, and in junk. I've seen .357 Magnum revolvers from Taurus that had the cylinder drilled at the thinnest part of the cylinder instead of the thickest. We sent the whole batch back. I personally owned 2 of their 9mm pistols. both were junk. Yes, they have a lifetime guarantee, but, They have so many pistols returned for repair that it takes months for them to even get to one. I sent one in July 1st to repair a bad extractor rather than do it myself ( OK I admit I was busy and just too lazy to fix it myself). They did not even get to it to repair it until the end of August. Then, when they sent it back to me, I fired 3 rounds and the new extractor broke. I replaced it myself and sold the pistol.
So, I guess you can count my vote as "dislike".

I have often pondered getting a Beretta 92FS and I have to say that the original frame-mounted safety device that Taurus still uses is superior to the slide mounted device on the Beretta. Those damn NATO officials!
I like the gun but the barrel set-up (locking block idea) is a little bit of a turn off (link or linkless would be better) but not so much as to keep me from pondering. The 92 series is a good series or it would not still be around. Notice how S&W has had three generations (or more if you include the Sigma and M&P) of auto-pistols. If you want a PT92 or 92FS get one. If you have one enjoy it and take good care of that aluminum frame. Be safe.

Never been a fan of the 92s in any fashion, but I don't really have too much bad to say about them. I just do not like the grip size and angle or the way it shoots. I have large hands too and it just does not feel right.
Taurus has some quality issues sometimes but usually it's apparent on inspection. They are a lot better than many manufacturers out there.

The trigger reach is too long, and the grip angle is not well designed.Ditto the Beretta 92F.

I'm not too fond of the PT92, or of the Beretta it emulates, I'm afraid. The grip feels too wide and thick, even though I have large hands. The grip angle, does not seem conducive to acquiring a fast sight picture, either.
As much as I HATE to say it, ....
....I think you might wanna look into a Glock.....
