Taurus PT92
The Taurus PT92 (and the similar PT99) is a Brazilian-made "Wonder Nine" based on the original Beretta 92. In many action movies (particularly those made in Hong Kong), the Taurus PT92/PT99 has been used as a stand-in for the Beretta 92F when the Beretta is not available. Thus, the two guns are very often confused by moviegoers. The Taurus is distinguished from the Beretta by its frame-mounted safety, which it retains from the original Beretta 92, whereas the 92FS has its safety mounted on the slide. Even from a distance, this makes the two guns easy to tell apart.
Newer-model PT92s and PT99s can also be told apart from the 92F because the cocking serrations at the rear of the slide are wider than those of the 92F (in order to improve grip on the slide while a round is being chambered). Both PT92s and PT99s now come standard with accessory rails since 2005.
The Taurus PT92 and its variants appears in the following films and television series used by the following actors:

PT99
Same as the PT92, but with raised, adjustable sights for target shooters. In order to distinguish it from the PT92, look closely at the rear sight, and also at the front sight (which is taller than that of the PT92). The sights are the only difference between the two guns.
