The Taurus PT92 AFS-D is a full-sized, 9mm semi-automatic pistol featuring a stainless steel slide, an aluminum alloy frame, and a frame-mounted thumb safety/decocker. The Taurus PT92 looks and functions like the Beretta 92 because Taurus bought the exact factory, tooling, and technical blueprints from Beretta in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1980.
