I owned the Sig, but not the Taurus. That said, the Sig was a wonderful gun, a pleasure to hold, fun to shoot and even pretty simple to double tap with some practice!
Biggest Takeaway here though: you said yourself one looks better but you’ve heard one performs better. On that alone, I’m going with the choice that performs better, especially if the one that looks appealing doesn’t go bang the first time! Besides, you don’t want any potential aggressors seeing something pretty, then wanting it even more :-)

Has anybody seen documented evidence of reliability issues on the PT92? I understand that other Taurus firearms have had quality issues in the past, but I've not come across any related to the PT92. They used Beretta's plant and designs to make this gun. I personally think it's an improvement on the original Beretta design because the safety/decocker moved from the slide to the frame.
My PT92 is a joy to shoot, accurate, easy to maintain, and was very affordable.

I'd go with the 2022. I almost got one, but upgraded to a CPO P229 ex LEO pistol.

I don't know that either of those would be bad choices, but I have to ask why rule out used guns? You can get a lot more bang for your buck so to speak given your search criteria.
One option would a 3rd gen S&W, like a Model 5906. Lots of used LE trades floating around under your budget with room left to buy ammo.

2022 was the first pistol I bought. Compared to my Glocks, S&W, Remington. and Ruger pistols it is best! Most shootable, fit and balance. Would buy again. My $.02

The only guns I have heard that have had issues with is their own designs. The one offs of proven platforms whether revolver or semi auto have worked as well as the original designs and some cases exceeded. Personally I think my 92 AFS overall is better than the one I carried on Duty as an MP

I sold my pt92, very reliable, only 1 ftf ever with reloads, in 6-800 rounds for break in, no cleaning. easy to disassemble. not accurate enough for my spinner target, accurate enough to use for defense. big grip.
I just realized we've all been kinda slackin' in our recommendations...it shouldn't be which one to buy. It should be which one to buy first.

Here is a really objective video comparing the Beretta M9 to the Taurus PT92. https://youtu.be/jJ9MXIU36as
I think it says a lot about the PT92 design and quality.

Not very familiar with the Sig, but I have a mid 80's PT92 never a problem from it. It is a bit large for the caliber, but your not likely to carry it, so it will serve well for HD and range gun.

Considering they pretty much copied the Italian Beretta except the Safety and magwell. It is a solid gun. it does not have the fit and finish of the Italian Beretta, the fit is good the finish is OK but the PT92 or other beretta clones by Taurus are pretty much on par with anything the italians put out performance wise.

Hi point is the only gun I would count lower than those sigs. The small grip is too small, the large grip is shaped like a triangle, they had several generations of slide release springs, the first 2 of which can leave you with a single shot, they have rubber grommets that when they fall out they leave you without a functional trigger, and with a 3 inch long slide release, it is very easy to ride it so the slide doesn’t lock back. It also has a notch in the grip so the magazine base plate completes the grip. If you do mag changes with any speed and you have normal to large hands you will pinch the hell out of your pinky.
I would take almost any pistol over the 2340/2022.
The PT92 is a good gun, far better than the sig you are looking at.
If I really wanted a sig, I would stick with a classic model.

To set the history straight, the Taraus PT is not a * Clone * of a M9 , or any Beretta M92 most of us have ever seen . It is a * Parallel Evolution * of the origonal M92 .
Taraus 92 mfg 1982-83 were exact clone of 1974 era Beretta M92 . Starting in the '80s the actual Beretta M92 went through several steps , culminating in the M92SBf , that was adopted by US mil as M9 . Starting in1984 , the Taraus 92 also has been through multiple evolutions , different from the Italian ones . Which evolution is "better" is a matter of opinion and preference .
Is the workmanship and QC of Taraus as good a Beretta?
No . But it is better than most Taraus pistols , and generally acceptable .
My preferences ? I'm spoiled by having shot a Beretta that was hand fitted from scratch at Accockek as a personal favor to a fellow employee . It was far smoother than any regular production M92 . Various shooting partners had PT's . They all worked , their owners had no problems , and they seemed to me well within the range of average pistols.
Ultimately, I don't care for the M92 platform . But if I were so inclined , I would prefer the Taraus fire controls, and not be put off by quality . ( In contemporary designs , I'd rather have a CZ pattern , but that's a different endless discussion .)

i already have a taurus model 66 and it is the best shooting handgun i have which is why i have been leaning towards the pt92. ive never had any personal experience with sigs. theres a lot of good info on the internet but first hand experience is the best thing
