Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Here is how I shoot my gun porn. Guns for fun, pics for a living.
  2. Yes it will......Team Anti-Glock will be out in force. Oh, and if you feel the need, my offer to shoot my Beretta is still open Andy.
  3. I shoot a Beretta 92G Elite with a DA/SA pull at 5lb and 2.5lb. I have not had any light strikes or failure to ignite with either Win or Federal primers.
  4. First thing ya do Andy...........Dump the Glock Yes, I'm here too. You followed me to this forum too Sorry Andy, but ya know I'm your biggest fan!

  6. I use the Wolff reduced power unit in my 92G Elite and I very much prefer it to stock. They do cost more than a factory trigger spring, but It's my match gun so I spend the money. If I can spend extra bucks for reloading components, I can spend a few more for premium parts. As for feeling the reset, don't need to. I know where it is. Another thing I like about the Wolff unit is it makes it sooooo much easier and quicker to strip the frame down for cleaning.
  7. I've been using Universal Clays with my 124 9mm, and yes there is some variance in velocity, but in my opinion, not enough to worry about. My question is, how temperature sensitive is Universal Clays?
  8. What bullet weights does the Beretta like? In my Elite I have used 115, 147 and now 124gr hand loads. I like the 124s, because it just cycles faster and comes back to point of aim really quick. I used the 147s for a couple of years and they just didn't work for me. The 92 will shoot anything you can load into it, get yourself a bunch of different loads and bullet weights and see what works best for you. As to the main spring, I'd go with what revchuck said and stick with the D spring if you plan to use you 92 for defense and match shooting.
  9. That's true. A "D" spring is not the best mainspring for a match only 92. A 16-19# Wolff 1911 mainspring is the way to go. I would suggest you start with the 19 and see how you like it and work your way down. Before you install the springs, grind or file the ends flat. The Beretta mainspring does a lot of twisting and turning. This info applies to Wolff springs only. I have tried ISMI springs with much different results. Wolff springs are fairly cheap and will last a good while. I replace mine about every 7k rounds.
  10. Who did the trigger job on your Beretta? My 92G Elite has a very crisp 2.5 lb pull and is my match gun. IF it is as you say "sloppy", it was not done correctly.
  11. Sounds like you took too much edge off the sear. You can re-grind the sear angles to a 90* and start over. Then polish the surfaces carefully. Rather than sandpaper, I use a super fine polishing wheel from a Dremel tool polishing kit. DO NOT USE IT ON THE DREMEL. The edges on the polishing wheel are also great for getting into the reaches on the hammer catches. You really don't have to polish much on the Beretta, they are pretty smooth to begin with. Here is what I did to my 92G Elite for Production comp; 1) Polish the hammer and sear mating surfaces as mentioned above. As well as the pivot points of same. 2) Polished and smoothed the mainspring strut, including the pivot. 3)Slightly tweeked the sear spring to reduce the friction of the sear to the hammer. Be very careful here, a little goes a long way. 4) Polished the firing pin block and removed 1/16in from the spring. 5) Polished the inside surface of the trigger bar. 6) Polished the trigger ears and replaced the trigger spring with a Wolff reduced power trigger spring. The Wolff unit makes disassembly and reassembly easier, and in reduced power, I have had no problem with it feeling gritty. 7) Install a ISMI 15lb 1911 mainspring. This spring alone is too soft and you must add a 7/8th in. preload spacer to the spring strut. 8) Replace Elite hammer with Elite 2 hammer. This has resulted in a 5.9lb DA and a 2.5lb SA that is smooth as glass and 100% reliable. I have done other things such as solid guide rod, grips, Dawson front sight, adjustable rear sights and an over-travel stop of my own internal design.
  12. Pro-Mag make mags for Kahrs. I bought a couple of 8 rounders a couple of years ago. Would I do it again? NO, and here's why. Although the mag bodies are very well made stainless and nicely welded, and they feed flawlessly. They refuse to lock back the slide on either of my Kahrs, and since Pro-Mag will not sell replacement springs, I have not been able to determine if it is the springs or followers. I do however suspect it to be the springs. At this point I only use them for spare glove box mags.
