The Taurus 92 pistol was created to improve on the Beretta design. The specially-designed drop hammer-forged ordnance-grade alloy frame won't crack or allow the slide to come off, and a three-position frame-mounted ambidextrous safety allows for a classic SA "cocked-and-locked" mode and also functions as a DA decocking lever. The Taurus 92 also features a loaded chamber indicator, the Taurus Security System, a Picatinny rail, and fixed 3-Dot sights.
