Notes
Part of a 2015 safety settlement for alleged drop-fire defects. Succeeded by the G2c which dropped the 'PT' designation. The restrike capability was a unique feature allowing second strikes on failed primers.
Background
Taurus's semi-automatic pistol development accelerated dramatically after acquiring Beretta's Brazilian manufacturing facility in 1980, and the company has since developed an increasingly independent lineup of original designs alongside their proven Beretta-derived models.
