Taurus is sitting on a golden gun but never realized that, if the company just offered what shooters wanted for this particular pistol, such as the ability to replace the sights, then it would sell tons more of PT92s, as it seems to be one of their most solid products ever. I'd love my potential PT92 to have a Hackathorn front sight and aftermarket blacked out rear sights, not to mention all the other great upgrades brought up by Yamil.
Here's my list of Upgrades: Beretta 92 Mag Release, Interchangeable Front Sights (Compatible with Beretta 92), Rear Sight compatible with Beretta 92 and last but not least, remove that safety lock!!! If they did, Wilson already makes these upgrades!!!
IMO in recent years, the grip screws from the factory not being very good (sometimes stripping very easily) inconsistent machining/assembling/quality control on the PT-92 have probably hurt this otherwise awesome handgun more than anything else. That, along with the fact that certain parts like the "safety spring" (that V-shaped spring under the left side grip held in place by the one bushing) are listed as "restricted" (maybe this has changed) and are not sold by Taurus to consumers or outside vendors like Brownells. Taurus will install a safety spring or other part if it becomes lost or damaged, but honestly I cannot understand why it is such a big deal to sell a silly part like that V-shaped spring. A PT92 with a dovetailed front sight would be great. This pistol's design is so much better than it is given credit for, and with a few tweaks Taurus could sell a lot of these even in the age of Combat Tupperware.
@@dexm2010 I think you should view the previous Video in which we talk about ALL that stuff when Marty installed all these upgrades and we actually talk in detail while we were working on the pistol. Check it out!! You are viewing Video #3, you need to go back to Video #2.
For years, I have owned and used two 9mm Taurus handguns with their original parts. PT 92 AFS (stainless) PT 99 AF Both have been reliable, durable, and accurate. One feature I really like is the 5-inch barrel.
Two years later, the PT92 still has the lock system. I don't have a problem with it, but I thinks it's unnecessary. I left the sights stock on mine, but I upgraded the grips with some nice checkered wood grips. If I could change one thing about mine, I'd leave off the accessory rail. Like my Beretta 92, I think it would look much cleaner without it.
It is worthy of more than just plinking. But it needs Four changes... Beretta 92 Mag Release, Interchangeable Front Sights (Compatible with Beretta 92), Rear Sight compatible with Beretta 92 and last but not least, remove that safety lock!!!
Love this taurus 92 man. Theres something about it thats looks awsome and feels awsome. Therw crazy accurate and look just as awsome. I own 1911s and revolvers and glocks. This gun is my favorite of all semi autos. I agree tho the safety lock needs to go.
@@yrsued yes sir it these guns are built for the long hall. My favorite and most accurate ammo is buffalo bore +p+ With this ammo and 17+1 rnds in mag makes me want to go toe to toe with the walking dead hahahaha
@@erniewalden3050 I wish I still had my 1992 Silver PT92, it had a stainless slide and a polished silver frame (I didn't like the silver polished frame) But at that time Taurus didn't use the silly Frame Lock!!
I wouldn't call them trash, they are "Classic" Beretta Sights, the problem is that there are not that many options for these pistols in the aftermarket world, that sucks!! There is not much you can do because the Original Beretta design has the front sight machined into the slide
I am with you safety to me ok its there found what sucks about it can not make easy uupgrades like hammer spring replacement that safety is a nightmare to take apart and put back unless you are gunsmith

@NAMELESS INTERNET ADDICT Ya, that would be a good idea too.

Fantastic pistol, I wish I still had the one I got in 1992.

I don't think they will make this without the lock in a while, they are doing that with the newer guns!!
@@yrsued I agree. The G3 series, GX4 series and the 605/856 revolvers are the priority for now.
@@jaydee5156 They are working hard on their future, they will revisit the classics later on I bet!!
@@yrsued They're doing a fine job too.
@@jaydee5156 Yes they are!!!
I used to have a PT92, loved it. It was my go-to plinking fun gun.
It is worthy of more than just plinking. But it needs Four changes...
Beretta 92 Mag Release, Interchangeable Front Sights (Compatible with Beretta 92), Rear Sight compatible with Beretta 92 and last but not least, remove that safety lock!!!
That is one of the best pistols, how does it have A bad rap ? Love my 92
Thanks for the up grades . Your the best , and a good shot also .
I love making a great pistol even better. Thanks for watching.

I really like the PT-92 but i wish they still made the PT-99. Thanks for the video.
I understand, the PT99 was popular, but I bet they just wanted to streamline!!
the gun is perfect out of box and the only thing this gin needs is Mec Gar magazines.
The Factory Mags are decent enough, but Mac-Gar are the industry standard, I don't really know if Mac-Gar makes these or not, I need to find out!
My PT 92 sites are trash. I’m gonna try the sharpie but what about the front site?
I wouldn't call them trash, they are "Classic" Beretta Sights, the problem is that there are not that many options for these pistols in the aftermarket world, that sucks!! There is not much you can do because the Original Beretta design has the front sight machined into the slide
@@yrsued my front site is so dark but I’ve had the fun for almost 20 years. Do you condone the nail polish tip ?
@@TheBlackconsigliere Dude, whatever works for you!!! I do stuff like that all the time!!!
I am with you safety to me ok its there found what sucks about it can not make easy uupgrades like hammer spring replacement that safety is a nightmare to take apart and put back unless you are gunsmith
Ya, I wish there were more aftermarket parts for this pistol
What does blacking out the rear sight improve?
Imp[rovements? None.. It's a matter of taste!! I prefer the completely black sights, but that is just my personal taste and preference.
You can always throw the key away when u get the gun. No worries!
Taurus pt92 bast pistol
Yes indeed
