The Taurus Model 58 is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .380 ACP, introduced in 1988 and produced until 1996 . It features a 4-inch barrel and a 15-round magazine capacity. The pistol operates on a blowback mechanism and offers a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger system.
Designed with a steel frame and Brazilian hardwood grips, the PT-58 weighs approximately 30 ounces. It includes fixed sights and a frame-mounted decocking lever for added safety. The PT-58's design is reminiscent of the Beretta Cheetah series, offering a similar aesthetic and feel.
While the PT-58 is known for its comfortable shooting experience due to its weight and ergonomics, some users have reported sensitivity to certain ammunition types, leading to occasional feeding issues. However, with the appropriate ammunition, it delivers reliable performance.
