Taurus PT92 Gas

In 1939, the small tool making company FORJAS TAURUS was founded in Porto Alegre, Brazil. In 1941, FORJAS TAURUS produced their first revolver, and soon became an important name in the South American market. By 1968, the company was ready to tackle the North American market. It will be of interest to note that SMITH and WESSON had just been purchased by the BANGHOR PUNTA conglomerate. In 1970, the same conglomerate acquired FORJAS TAURUS, and during the following seven years, the two gun manufacturers exchanged technologies and production techniques. In 1977, FORJAS TAURUS was bought back by the original owner and around the same time, the BERETTA organization won a huge contract in 1974 to produce arms for the Brazilian army and government. When the contract came to an end, Beretta sold the entire factory to FORJAS TAURUS, including all machines, tools and with the transfer of many skilled workers. FORJAS TAURUS had well and truly entered into the gun market! In 1989, Taurus celebrated it's 50th anniversary, and by 1994, FORJAS TAURUS received the prestigious industry standard ISO9001 for it's products.
