I have a LEOSA Qualification coming up and went through the shooting standards with a few of my guns. S&W .45 M&P 100 rounds, no malfunctions. Taurus TH 45, seven failures to feed in 100 rounds. CZ TS2 9 MM two malfunctions with the slide failing to completely close, 200 rounds. CZ P-01 50 9 MM rounds, no malfunctions. The TS2 was dirty from previous firing. The rest were clean. Very disappointed with the Taurus, first Taurus I've had so much trouble with. Definitely a NO for carry.

When my LEO son has to do quals for his dept,, he makes sure any gun he may carry is 100% reliable. He's allowed a bit of selection for his b/u gun or "extra" gun(s) he may have in his vehicle. But he must qualify with them.
Your selection isn't bad.
But in competition & LEO stuff,, I rarely see any Taurus models,, due to the less than 100% reliability.

I have a Taurus PT99. It's just the PT92 with adjustable sights. I've noticed that mine is rather finicky about ammo length and the difference is usually measure in one or two thousandths between fully operational and failure to fully chamber ammo, be they reloads or factory.

I have a whole herd of Taurus guns including the 92 and 99. I haven't had any problems with them at all. Recent buy's were the G3 and two TX22's, good shooter's, both. The TH45 is a problem child. The slide fails to pick up a round from the magazine occasionally.
