Most people report excellent, happy experiences with their PT-series Beretta knockoffs, but I have seen rare but decently widespread reports of the frame kinda "melting". I cant explain it, but apparently it's a quality control problem with the aluminum in the frame. Saw some very nasty pics that looked like the frame was shaved down.
I'm temporarily retracting this point until I can find the evidence. I don't believe I was mistaken but I may well have been.
I'd say get the Beretta for better overall quality control and resale value, but as much as I love Beretta the customer service quality is probably the same. Taurus is supposed to be a nightmare but the one time I tried to use Beretta's it was awful too.

Aluminum has a melting point of over *1200F.
At least Taurus has very well made heat insulated grips!
