Taurus Magazines
PT92 • G2S • G3 • TH9 • PT740 • 738 TCP • 9mm / .40 S&W / .380 ACP
Factory Taurus and MEC-GAR factory-OEM magazines for the Brazilian pistol manufacturer's complete modern lineup — the PT92 (Brazilian-built Beretta 92 successor) in 10, 15, and 20-round capacities, the polymer-frame G2S and G3 compact service pistols, the DA/SA TH9 17-round, the SLim series PT740 in .40 S&W, and the pocket-pistol 738 TCP in .380 ACP. Factory-equivalent capacity in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .380 ACP — the value-priced service pistol family that has outsold Glock and Smith & Wesson combined in multiple US market years since 2019.
About Taurus Magazines at Keep Shooting
Keep Shooting carries the Taurus magazine lineup covering the Brazilian pistol manufacturer's PT92 (the Brazilian-built successor to the Beretta 92 that shares the original Beretta tooling), the modern polymer-frame G2S, G3, and TH9 service pistols, the SLim-series PT740 in .40 S&W, and the compact 738 TCP in .380 ACP. Production is split between factory Taurus (Porto Alegre, Brazil) and MEC-GAR (Gardone Val Trompia, Italy) — the same Italian factory-OEM magazine specialist that produces contract magazines for Beretta, SIG Sauer, CZ, Browning, Walther, and Taurus. Three of the nine SKUs in our catalog are MEC-GAR factory-contract PT92 production in 10, 15, and 20-round capacities.
Forjas Taurus S.A. was founded in 1939 in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, as a small forging company — the name Forjas Taurus translating literally as "Taurus Forge." For its first three decades, Taurus was primarily a revolver manufacturer whose small-to-medium-frame double-action revolvers built a reputation in the Brazilian and Central American markets. The pivotal moment in Taurus's history came in 1980, when Beretta (who had been operating a Brazilian subsidiary to supply the Brazilian Army with Beretta 92 pistols under a government contract) decided to withdraw from Brazil at the end of the contract period. Rather than dismantle the factory, Beretta sold the entire Sao Paulo operation to Taurus — tooling, blueprints, production machinery, and the workforce. The pistol being produced at the time of the sale was the Beretta 92, and Taurus inherited the complete capacity to produce it.
PT92 — the Brazilian Beretta 92. Taurus immediately re-branded the rifle as the Taurus PT92 and continued production without missing a beat. The PT92 is literally the same pistol that Beretta was building in Sao Paulo the day before the sale — same machinery, same parts, same drawings — with two small Taurus design modifications over the years: a relocated safety lever (moved to the frame rather than the slide, matching traditional 1911 ergonomics), and later an ambidextrous decocker. Mechanically the PT92 remains a true Beretta 92 variant, and magazines for the PT92 and for the Beretta 92 are often cross-compatible — factory Beretta 92 and Taurus PT92 magazines share the same body dimensions, feed-lip geometry, and capacity options. Our MEC-GAR PT92 10-round magazine (state-compliance), MEC-GAR PT92 15-round (standard capacity), and MEC-GAR PT92 20-round (extended capacity) are all factory-OEM production from the same Italian facility that produces the factory Beretta 92 magazines.
PT740 — SLim series .40 S&W. The PT740 Slim is part of Taurus's late-2000s single-stack polymer-frame compact pistol family — the Taurus response to the concealed- carry market's move toward thinner, more carry-friendly pistols that also drove the Kahr CW, Ruger LC9, Smith & Wesson Shield, and Glock 43 designs of the same era. The Slim is chambered in .40 S&W with a 6-round single-stack magazine — the higher-caliber variant for concealed carriers who prefer the .40 over 9mm. Our factory Taurus PT740 magazine is the original-capacity replacement.
738 TCP — .380 ACP pocket pistol. The 738 TCP (Taurus Compact Pistol) is a micro-compact .380 ACP pistol designed to compete with the Ruger LCP, Kel-Tec P3AT, and Kahr P380 — the post-2008 wave of ultra-small .380s designed for pocket carry. The 738 TCP is a tilting-barrel locked-breech design (rather than the fixed-barrel blowback of earlier .380s), polymer-framed, 6-round single-stack, weighing 10.2 oz unloaded — among the lightest semi-automatic pistols on the US commercial market. Our MEC-GAR Taurus 738 TCP magazine is the factory-OEM replacement, produced by the same Italian facility that produces MEC-GAR's PT92 and Beretta magazine contracts.
G2S, G3, and TH9 — the modern polymer service pistols. Taurus's modern polymer-frame striker-fired service pistol family began with the G2C (double-stack compact) and was joined by the G2S (single-stack Slim variant, introduced 2016), the larger G3 (full-size 15+1 service pistol, introduced 2019), and the DA/SA hammer-fired TH9 (17+1 service pistol, introduced 2018 as a hammer-fired alternative to the striker-fired G3). The Taurus G3 in particular became one of the most commercially successful polymer pistols of the late 2010s and early 2020s, with US sales rivaling or exceeding competing Glock 19 and S&W M&P Compact sales in multiple months across 2020 – 2022 — driven by a price point approximately 40% below the premium service pistols for a comparable mechanical package. Our catalog carries factory Taurus G2S magazines in both 9mm and .40 S&W, a Taurus G3 15-round magazine, and a Taurus TH9 17-round magazine — all factory Taurus production, all direct replacement for original-equipment pistol magazines.
MEC-GAR — Taurus's factory-contract partner. MEC-GAR Srl (Gardone Val Trompia, Brescia province, Italy) is the Italian factory-OEM magazine specialist that produces contract magazines for many of the world's major pistol manufacturers including Taurus, Beretta, SIG Sauer, CZ, Walther, and Browning. MEC-GAR magazines are the same magazines the pistol manufacturers ship as original-equipment in new pistols. For Taurus specifically, MEC-GAR produces the PT92 10, 15, and 20-round magazines and the 738 TCP magazine currently in our catalog — the cross-compatibility with Beretta 92 factory magazines (same MEC-GAR production lines) is a practical benefit for PT92 owners building magazine inventory.
Caliber and platform compatibility — critical warnings. Taurus magazines are platform-specific and caliber- specific within the lineup. A PT92 magazine (9mm) does NOT fit a PT740 (.40 S&W SLim single-stack), does NOT fit a G2S 9mm (different polymer frame geometry), and does NOT fit a G3 (different full-size service pistol frame). Even within caliber, the G2S 9mm and G3 9mm magazines are NOT interchangeable — G2S is single-stack, G3 is double-stack. The TH9 is the only Taurus pistol in our catalog with 17-round capacity and uses a TH-specific magazine. And the 738 TCP .380 uses a proprietary single-stack .380 magazine not cross-compatible with any other Taurus platform. Before ordering, verify your specific Taurus model by name and caliber — the frame-to- frame magazine compatibility rules are the #1 customer-error risk in this category.
PT92 cross-compatibility with Beretta 92. The one exception to the "magazines are platform-specific" rule is the well-documented cross-compatibility between the Taurus PT92 and Beretta 92-series pistols — same factory tooling, same magazine-well dimensions. A factory Beretta 92 magazine works in a Taurus PT92 and vice versa, which is why our Taurus PT92 magazines are mostly produced by MEC-GAR (who also produces the Beretta 92 factory magazines). PT92 owners can use any of the MEC-GAR Beretta / Taurus magazines in our catalog, and Beretta 92 owners can use Taurus PT92 magazines — a practical benefit for both platforms. The only caveat: verify the decocker / safety configuration matches your pistol, since the post-1980 Taurus modifications to the PT92 frame- mounted safety can occasionally create magazine-release-spring interactions with late-production Beretta 92FS magazines (rare, but worth confirming).
