Beretta d spring kit
One of the most frequently performed modifications to the 92 family of pistols is installation of the hammer spring from the double-action-only model Beretta 92D. Shooters with smaller hands struggle with the combination of the Beretta’s grip and the long, heavy trigger pull made necessary by the military primer requirement.
BERETTA D SPRING KIT SERIES
Most Beretta 90 series guns ship from the factory with that ultra-reliable, but very heavy trigger arrangement. The downside of that kind of ultra-reliable ignition is that the trigger pull has to compress that 20 pound (weight of the spring’s tension, not the spring’s actual weight) hammer spring somehow to cock the hammer. This means putting a pretty stout main spring/hammer spring (the spring that actually propels the hammer) in the pistol to ensure that the hammer will fall with enough force to reliably set off even the hardest primers. One of the requirements for the M9 is for the weapon to bust extremely hard primers reliably. The 92 family of pistols are built largely around the design specifications of the M9 military sidearm. The second most commonly complained about feature of the 92 has to be the heavy double action trigger pull. The Wilson Combat Beretta Action Tune Kit I tapped, racked, and went to pull the trigger and got nothing…so I performed the same action three more times. The third time I watched a perfectly good round eject out of the pistol it occurred to me that I had accidentally engaged the safety during the first tap/rack/bang. On one rather embarrassing occasion I didn’t fully seat the magazine when I swapped magazines with the weapon still in the holster prior to a drill and when I got the beep I pulled the pistol and got one shot then a click.
I vastly prefer the decocker-only G model pistols to the standard FS equipped guns because performing immediate action drills with an FS often leads to unintentional activation of the safety. I solved that by installing the Wolff Trigger Control Unit for the 92 family of pistols in my guns.Įven though I like the 92 quite a bit, there are things about it I would change. The only issue I ever really had with the 92 was that the trigger return spring tended to break frequently if you attempted serious dryfire training. I’ve never had a feed-way stoppage with a 92 pistol, even when firing the gun in tropical storm conditions with a magazine that was packed with thick mud. The controls of the pistol all seem to be in just the right place. I have used the Beretta 92 quite a bit over the years and the specimens I own have always performed extremely well. If you are a regular reader of the site, you may have deduced that I have a certain fondness for the Beretta 92 pistol.
