Replacement mags for the Taurus pt92 - c borderline on the absolute ridiculous.
One of Tauruses better production pieces from the mid-eighties that was a knock off of the Beretta 92 compact.
Taurus came with a 12 round magazine and I have seen attempts to sell them in the $50 range!
Being one of the better guns they produced there are people that will still pay this premium.
As you can see the catch is different on the 13 round Beretta as well as the pinky extension but overall the magazines are extremely close.
So what I'm going to do is the Beretta magazine gaining me an extra round, and now I have two magazines for this old beater...
If this works out I will customize a set of grips and do something about this worn finish.
One of the strange things with the 92 of mine was the addition of Target sights. They appear to be the exact same ones that happened used on the Beretta...
Wish me luck.

So you are modifying beretta 92 compact mags ? They slide in and out ok... but the magazine catch is not aligned right?
That is correct it's taking a little bit of finesse. You can buy a 10-round ProMag off the shelf for about 34 bucks or you can buy a standard 15 round or 18 round Taurus, but I just wanted something that was as close as possible to the original 12 rounder
