I replaced it with a Dawson but had a hell of a time finding the right one. Sent a few back to Dawson because they didn't fit. You need a 92A1 one and it needs to be tall in order to zero with the adjustable sight. I went with a .190 tall and .125 wide. I would have preferred wider but Dawson wouldn't do any custom work because "Covid." The Dawson is a much nicer sight picture than factory. No giant blob of death. I used the Dawson Brig. .150T, .110W. (I think the 92XP factory is .170T, .120W) I have the rear sight almost all the way down. I wanted a narrower front sight because the rear slot is so tiny. Dawson makes a .170T and .110W also ... https://dawsonprecision.com/beretta-brigadier-fiber-optic-front-sights/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd advise anyone to buy the tallest aftermarket sight they can. You can always crank the rear up but you can't go down below the stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shoot off the top of the front sight, I don't "drive the dot." The dot just helps me locate the sight faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two questions... How would I "adjust the hammer spring" to achieve a better D/A trigger pull? I must have short fingers because I really have to reach for the trigger in D/A. Will a Wilson SRT help much? Does the 92XP ship with a 13lb hammer spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike9250 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Beretta makes a "competition" hammer spring. I believe it is rated at 12.5lbs. I'm pretty sure that is what the 92xp comes with. I put a 12lb Wilson Combat spring in mine and it made very little difference. DA does feel slightly better, not much difference in SA. I think Langdon sells an 11lb spring, but I'm not sure how reliable it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the 92XP ship with a 13lb hammer spring? I'm not sure what it is, but the hammer spring in xtreme-s trigger group is stiffer than a wilson 12lbs. I assume the hammer spring from that trigger group is the same as what comes with the 92x performance. Maybe try a regular beretta trigger instead of the short reach. I feel the short reach is too short in single action -- my index finger ends up hitting the frame before the sear can release the hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, you can get aftermarket springs or if you are running Fed primers, you can experiment with taking the stock springs and cutting coils. I wouldn't fool around with it too much - the stock setup is pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll just leave the trigger alone. I will be changing out the front sight to a thinner Dawson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could find nothing in Appendix D4 that specifically allows it, but also nothing specifically saying it's verboten. Production Gun list says you can remove one to make it fit in the box, but if you remove the left side lever (the right side lever has the post that goes through the frame that the hammer rides on, so it has to stay), the safety detent is no longer in existence.

Beretta needs to step up and make a flat thumb safety set, and a decent hump-back grip (not a fan of the Vertec grip frame). I've been told that grinding them is legal (not by official sources though), what gives me pause is Appendix D4, 21.6 & 22. There's nothing that specifically allows altering/filing/grinding of thumb safety levers, and how the presence of ground/filed/altered levers will be treated at anything other than a club level match is a concern when I have no documentation of the legality of the modification, per Special Note 5 at the bottom of Appendix D4 (Emphasis by capitalization from Appendix D4: 5. UNLESS a modification is SPECIFICALLY authorized in the rules or SPECIFICALLY authorized in an official, published NROI interpretation, it is considered a PROHIBITED MODIFICATION. 21.6 Exchange of minor EXTERNAL components Sights, firing pins, firing pin retainers, pins, extractors, magazine releases, slide stops, thumb safeties, triggers, hammers, bushings, and ejectors MAY be replaced with OFM or aftermarket parts. Exchange of OFM parts between different models of Production approved guns is allowed. 22 Specifically prohibited modifications and features Please note that the absence of an item in the list of prohibited modifications MAY NOT be construed to mean a modification is allowed. A modification is only allowed in Production Division if there is a rules clause or interpretation that specifically declares that it is allowed in the Division. Removing or disabling firing-pin blocks or any other factory safety mechanism in Production division is specifically prohibited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I went to the range, and not only will it light primers, it lights the CCI Small Rifle Primers! I have 7 different guns I consider top flight for Production Division.

I want to get it into production but I need to address the safeties. I really don't want to take a grinder to the gun. I wonder if LTT will come out with a slim safety to meet USPSA regs.
