The Taurus 92 Full Size and Taurus 917C are robust semi-automatic pistols designed for both duty use and personal defense. The full size Taurus 92, chambered in 9x19mm, offers a high capacity of 17 rounds. It features a drop hammer-forged, ordnance-grade alloy frame for durability. Notably, it includes a 3-position, frame-mounted ambidextrous safety, which allows for safe operation in various modes, including "cocked and locked" and as a decocking lever in double action. This setup enhances safety compared to slide-mounted alternatives and provides users with versatile handling options. On the other hand, the Taurus 917C, returning to the market after a break, is a compact version with an 18+1 capacity, making it highly suitable for concealed carry. It too is chambered in 9mm Luger and integrates modern enhancements such as target grips and an accessory rail, enhancing its functionality and appeal for users looking for a reliable compact firearm. The 917C combines the practicality of a full-sized pistol with the added convenience of a smaller frame, making it an excellent choice for both everyday carry and defensive scenarios. Both models exemplify Taurus' commitment to reliability and innovation, offering users dependable and versatile options for a range of shooting needs.
