Functional but not the best condition Taurus PT-99 AF Ive seen, this is a cheap 9mm for someone
In 1974, a large contract for the Beretta 92 was issued by the Brazilian army, for which Beretta set up a factory in São Paulo, Brazil. This factory was later sold to the Brazilian gunmaker Taurus (Forjas Taurus S/A) in 1980, after the contract had expired.

Shortly thereafter, Taurus closed down the factory and transferred the original Beretta machinery to its factory in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, using it to make its own pistol, which was a copy of the original Beretta 92 design, no longer being produced in Brazil.

They did this without the need for a license and they also did not have to pay royalties, as the designs and patents had since expired,[1] resulting in less expensive prices than the Beretta 92 in most cases.

The Taurus PT92 and PT99 are very similar, with the primary difference being their intended use, the PT99, with its wooden grips, is more suited for target shooting. The PT99 often has a dovetailed front sight that can be swapped out.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Taurus PT99:
Design: Similar to the Beretta 92, but with wooden grips.
Sights: Dovetailed front sight that can be swapped out.
Intended Use: Target shooting.
Both models are 9mm semi-automatic pistols with a short-recoil locked-breech action. They share a 5-inch barrel and can use 17+1 round magazines. They also feature a manual safety/de-cocker system.
