Luke Cuenco 10.31.23
If you’re a fan of the classic look and feel of the Taurus 92 pistol, but wished you could carry it then you’re in luck! Long ago Taurus introduced the Original 917C pistol which combined the shootablity of the Tuaurs 92 with a more compact slide and barrel to make it more suitable for concealed carry duty. Sadly the Taurus 917C disappeared from the market as the wave of striker-fired compact pistols made their way onto the scene. Today Taurus is excited to announce that they’ve brought the 917C back and from the looks of it, it’s here to stay this time.

October 2023, Bainbridge GA – What’s better than legendary, long lasting, and extremely popular Taurus 92? What about a compact version that holds 18 rounds? It’s back: the Taurus 917C is making its triumphant return to the US consumer market.
Previously available, the Taurus 917C was extremely popular with customers thanks to its compact size, easy shooting characteristics, and full length accessory rail. Unlike other compact double-action/single-action semi-automatic pistols the Taurus 917C is capable of mounting full size weapon mounted lights and other accessories. Additionally, the 917C is compatible with all Taurus 92 style magazines.
“I actually had one of the original 917C pistols all those years ago, and I regret selling it,” said Caleb Giddings, General Manager of Marketing for Taurus USA. “I’m a huge fan of traditional double-action semi-autos like the Taurus 92, so bringing back the 917C makes a ton of sense to me. I can’t wait to put some serious rounds downrange out of this.
