There is a reason hammer-fired DA/SA pistols never really went away, and the Taurus 917C is a solid case for keeping one around. This is the compact cousin of the Taurus 92, built on the same full-size aluminum alloy frame but topped with a shorter 4.3 inch target-crowned barrel and slide. Think of it the way you would a Commander-length 1911: full grip for control and capacity, trimmed up top for easier carry. And that grip is no afterthought, holding a flush-fit 18-round double-stack magazine with contoured finger grooves molded right in.
The frame-mounted ambidextrous safety doubles as a decocker, so you can run it cocked and locked like a 1911 or drop the hammer and carry with a long, deliberate double-action first pull. Taurus rounded out the reintroduced model with a flat-face serrated trigger, a reversible magazine release, and a full-length Picatinny rail that will handle full-size weapon lights without hanging past the muzzle. Sights are a fixed integrated front paired with a drift-adjustable steel rear, a simple setup that will not snag, bend, or wander off zero.
At 33.5 ounces with an alloy steel slide, this pistol has enough heft to flatten out 9mm recoil, which makes long range sessions genuinely pleasant. The DA/SA action gives you that heavier first trigger pull followed by a short, crisp single-action break on every shot after, and owners consistently report smooth cycling and easy accuracy right out of the box.
Taurus includes two 18-round magazines, so you have a spare loaded from day one. Better still, the 917C accepts all Taurus 92-style magazines, which is welcome news if you already run a 92 or PT92 and have a drawer full of mags. For anyone who wants Beretta 92 handling in a slightly shorter, rail-equipped package, this one checks a lot of boxes without emptying your wallet.
Yes. The 917C uses the same full-size grip frame as the Taurus 92, so it accepts all Taurus 92-style magazines. That is a nice perk if you already own a 92 or PT92, since your existing mags carry right over. Two 18-round magazines are included from the factory.
It can. The frame-mounted ambidextrous safety works much like a 1911 thumb safety and also functions as a decocker. That gives you the choice of carrying cocked and locked in single action or hammer down with a double-action first pull, whichever you prefer.
The main difference is up top. The 917C keeps the same full-size aluminum frame and grip but shortens the barrel and slide to 4.3 inches, similar to how a Commander compares to a full-size 1911. The reintroduced version also adds a flat-face serrated trigger, an 18+1 flush-fit capacity, and a full-length Picatinny rail.
It is one of the softer-recoiling 9mms out there. At 33.5 ounces with an aluminum frame and steel slide, the weight soaks up a lot of the snap, and the rubber grips with finger grooves keep it planted in the hand. Owners regularly mention how smooth and easy it is to run through long range sessions.
