The PT92 AF-D is essentially Taurus’s flagship duty pistol. Its combination of affordability, reliability, and lifetime warranty has made it popular among civilian shooters, law enforcement, and military users. While some shooters prefer the Beretta 92 for its finish and reputation, the Taurus PT92 AF-D is often considered a “best buy” for those seeking a robust full-size 9mm pistol.
