Just got this pistol
I already own a Taurus PT92 which I like a lot. Then I saw this 917C for sale and had to have it. Same design but barrel is shorter. The grip has finger grooves just like the .40 version, although the 917C is still a 9mm. Very comfortable grip. Takes the same mags as the PT92.

Nice. I think it is the better looking gun of the two. Congrats.
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

A pistol without a round chambered is an expensive paper weight.

It's a beauty.
After 500+ rounds of shooting it, how about a review?
Thanks!

Re: Just got this pistol
Both pistols look good. I like the Taurus brand; I find you get good bang for your buck.

Re: Just got this pistol
The first “92” pattern pistol I ever fired was a Taurus PT92. Come to think of it, i don’t think I’ve ever fired a Beretta 92. They seem like pretty neat guns - soft on recoil and reasonably accurate - but it hasn’t been one that particularly called my name. Not sure why. I think if I were to choose between a PT92/92FS on one hand, and a CZ75 or clone thereof, I’d probably go for the CZ. It’s not that I think they are necessarily better guns (maybe they are, but if so, I don’t know why.....or not); I think it’s just the visual appeal. But if one is looking for a steel or alloy framed 9mm, a 92 pattern pistol is certainly a great choice.

Re: Just got this pistol
I almost bought the Taurus PT92, but I came across a great deal on the Beretta 92FS for a little less money. I really like the gun. Accurate and it has a little history behind it, having served as a service weapon for our armed forces. Real accurate shooter. It has the same manual of arms as my Ruger P95, and Beretta Storm SC. But this one is the best shooter, and mildest recoil. The 92 is a great gun to teach beginners, because of the long sight radius and soft recoil. On the few times I open carry it is the hand gun that gets shown off.
It's a shame that the traditional DA/SA is falling out of favor, because this weapon is a shooter and I think good looking.

That’s essentially a Centurion with a slightly shorter barrel.
