Can a gun this pretty actually shoot well?

Oh and found this just now also:

I used to own a PT-911 in stainless which is similar to the 2nd gun you posted. Was accurate, reliable, and good looking. Also came with trijicons and was easy to field strip (like the Beretta 92s).
Not a bad gun if you could get it for a good price.Comment

If you are brave enough to like guns in that form- I applaud you. Waaaay tooooo much bling for me though. To each....his own.

I've never shot that particular PT92, but the platform works well. The examples I've shot were all on par in terms of accuracy with the Beretta 92, ergonomics are the same (perfect for my hand), and reliability is about identical according to the reviews I've read.
I've actually been looking for a standard stainless pt92 (sans bling) for a couple weeks, but I'm having trouble finding them with 10 rd mags.He was a demon. He was a parasite. He was a cancer. We were the cure. And he left you for a bitter grave today. - Coalition Bear

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms, disarm only those who are neither inclined, nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants. They serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

I am going to admit it too that I like the way them guns look too... I don't see why they would not function correctly..Originally posted by tankermanOriginally posted by Douglas711Comment

Your first pic is a Taurus PT-92 SS with Gold Accents and Faux-Pearl Grip. I own an all SS PT-92 and I love it. It functions flawlessly, and I think it's way better than the Beretta 92FS because the Beretta 92FS has that stupid slide-mounted safety, whereas the PT-92 has the frame-mounted ambi-safety w/decocker, making it a much more functional design.
The 2nd gun you linked is a Taurus PT45 I think. They don't make these anymore, but they are still relatively easy to find. I know a guy selling a all SS one.
I love my PT-92.

Viras. If you don't mind me asking, how much did that 92 run you? The only local shop for me with one in stock is priced WAY high, and I'm trying to figure out a reasonable number to haggle for.He was a demon. He was a parasite. He was a cancer. We were the cure.

I don't own one, but have read many positive review of the Baretta like Taurus guns. They actually have a plus over Baretta, in that they moved the manual safety to the frame.Comment
