Pt99 Taurus

Don't look for any love for Taurus in here. I personally don't have anything against Taurus. They make good truck guns. Inexpensive and work when you need them too.
I used to have the pt101 which is the .40 version. Very nice gun IMO with good fit and finish, and it ran well with no problems. Honestly, I couldn't see a difference in quality between it and my Beretta. I preferred the safety to the one on the Beretta. Flips down for off instead of up like on the Beretta.
Just remembered I had a 99 back before the 101. Can't for the life of me remember what I traded it for though.
I don't care for the IMO gaudy branding and roll marks they seem to put on the Taurus pistols these days. The older ones had smaller and more subdued roll marks on the sides instead of the large color filled ones I've seen in recent years. I think some of their large frame revolvers look nice if it were not for the large flashy "raging bull" and "tracker" billboards along the sides...
I had an early 1990's vintage Taurus PT92 (fixed sights, satin nickel finish, wood stocks) that was the most reliable semi-auto gun I've ever owned.
I liked everything about it EXCEPT the enormously thick grip frame and long reach to the trigger for that Double-Action first shot.
