The Taurus PT92 is a Brazilian-made copy of the Beretta 92, produced at the former Beretta Brazil facility after Taurus acquired the plant, tooling, and license from Beretta. The PT92 adds an ambidextrous manual safety on the frame rather than the slide, an original design choice that appeals to shooters preferring a traditional thumb safety. Adopted by Brazilian military and police.
