Introducing the Taurus PT 101 AFS, a semi-automatic pistol that is a testament to Taurus International's commitment to innovation and quality. This firearm has been meticulously crafted by the Brazilian manufacturer, renowned for their robust and reliable firearms since 1939. The PT 101 AFS model, chambered in the powerful .40 S&W caliber, is a star of the 1990s "wonder-nines" era, designed to satisfy the growing demand for higher-capacity, higher-power handguns.
The pistol is in very good condition, with minor superficial signs of previous handling or use, such as minor scratches on the slide and frame. The bore is in excellent condition, showcasing a clean, mirror finish with no signs of wear, and the rifling is sharp and defined. This sale includes an OWB holster and five 10-round magazines. The original factory box is also included, preserving the firearm's value and ensuring safe storage.
The PT 101 AFS is set apart by its "Alloy Frame and Stainless" steel slide, from which it gets its submodel designation "AFS". With its sleek stainless-steel finish and silver aluminum frame, this firearm offers an enticing aesthetic appeal. The black rubberized Pachmayr grips with finger grooves offer an ergonomic and comfortable grip, further enhancing its shooting experience. The firearm is fitted with 3-dot sights, with a fixed front and fully adjustable rear for enhanced precision.
The PT 101 AFS employs a DA/SA action, allowing for a rapid first shot followed by precise subsequent shots. Its impressive 10+1 capacity provides more rounds than the standard handgun, a feature that could be crucial in a self-defense situation. This feature, combined with its powerful .40 S&W caliber, makes the PT 101 AFS an excellent choice for both home defense and range shooting.
Whether you're a seasoned gun enthusiast or a first-time buyer, the Taurus PT 101 AFS promises a combination of aesthetics, power, and versatility that makes it a worthy addition to your collection.
