The next milestone for Taurus Armas came in 1982. Forjas Taurus was in the pistol business, and immediately sought to improve on the Beretta design, resulting in the popular and acclaimed Taurus PT-92 and PT-99 9mm pistols. Forjas Taurus now owned everything that once belonged to Beretta, including drawings, tooling, machinery, and employed a very experienced work force. By that time, Forjas Taurus had new Brazilian controlling owners that had purchased Forjas Taurus from Bangor Punta in 1977. When the contract ran out in 1980, Beretta sold the plant to Forjas Taurus. The contract required Beretta to build a Brazilian factory and use Brazilian labor. In 1974 Beretta had won a contract to produce small arms for the Brazilian Army. During the next seven years, a great deal of technology and methodology was passed between the two companies. In 1970, Bangor Punta, which owned Smith & Wesson, purchased a controlling interest in Forjas Taurus. The company produced its first revolver in 1941.
