Taurus PT92 PT99 PT100 Model Comparison Guide
Model Names and How They Appear in Your Documentation
Your firearm's documentation, case, or manual may list it as:
Taurus PT92 / PT92AF / PT99 / PT100 / PT101 — Each designation represents a distinct visual family, though all share the classic Beretta-style design heritage. Check these sources:
Invoice, original case, or manual (exact model name)
Visible markings on the frame (external view only—no disassembly needed)
Upper Grip Panel Contour
Models with ambidextrous safety: The upper cutout is more open and pronounced
Models with single-side safety: The contour remains more closed and classic in appearance
Finish Aesthetics
Classic finishes (polished): Look stunning with 24K gold plating or silver
Modern finishes (matte or satin black): Pair better with black nickel or deep engraving
