Taurus 1-920159GLD-HW1 92 Full Size Frame 9mm Luger 17+1 5" Matte Stainless Steel Barrel, Serrated Stainless Steel Slide, Natural Anodized Aluminum Frame w/Beavertail & Picatinny Rail, Rosewood Grip
The Taurus 92 full-size 9mm is a classic DA/SA semiautomatic built on a proven design that combines affordability with genuine reliability. This isn't a budget compromise—it's a steel and aluminum workhorse with a 5-inch barrel, 17+1 capacity, and the kind of ergonomic fundamentals that make it equally at home on the range, in competition, or as a duty carry for those who value a traditional, naturally-pointing pistol. The ambidextrous frame-mounted safety lets you carry cocked-and-locked if you prefer, or use the integrated decocking lever for quick DA transitions. Rosewood grips and serrated slide work together to deliver both classic looks and genuine purchase when you need it.
The 92's aluminum frame is naturally anodized for a clean, durable finish that handles hard use without looking tactical. Matte stainless steel barrel and serrated slide are paired with a Picatinny rail if you want to mount a light or laser—practical, not forced. At 34 ounces unloaded, it's substantial enough to manage recoil smoothly but still manageable for extended shooting sessions. The 1:10 right-hand twist and 6-groove rifling are proven for 9mm accuracy at distance and in rapid fire.
If you shoot a lot, appreciate manual-safety pistols, or want a full-size 9mm that doesn't demand you adopt a new manual of arms, the Taurus 92 delivers without the premium price tag. Two magazines are included, so you're ready to train immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sights come on the Taurus 92, and can I replace them?
The 92 features an integrated front sight and a drift-adjustable rear sight. Both are factory installed; the rear sight can be adjusted for windage without removal. If you want to upgrade to night sights or a different rear sight design, you'll need to handle the swap yourself or have a gunsmith do it.
Is this gun suitable for concealed carry, or is it really a full-size?
The Taurus 92 is a true full-size semiautomatic. At 8.50 inches overall length and 5.50 inches in height, it's designed for duty carry, range use, and competition—not pocket or deep-concealment carry. If you need a 9mm for everyday carry, consider a compact or subcompact model instead.
Can I mount a light or red dot on the Picatinny rail?
The Picatinny rail is standard 1913 spec, so it will accept any modular light, laser, or other accessory designed to that standard. The 92 does not come optics-ready; mounting a red dot would require a mounting plate or slide modifications handled by a gunsmith.
What comes in the box?
The Taurus 92 ships with two 17-round magazines. A cleaning kit, manual, and warranty documentation are included. You will need to obtain ammunition, a holster, and any other shooting accessories separately.
