Locking block falling out is normal, a few do, most don't, but no problem.

Beretta 92s feed ammo fairly straight... length shouldn't be a problem.

 

Might try factory ammo until gun is "broken in", or reduced power recoil spring with your ammo.

 

Agreed. Try it with a few different brands and bullet weights. Then go from there.

I've many years behind round objectives. I'd like it to be round. I was looking through an Aimpoint Acro and almost had a seizure.

Thanks.

Also, who makes a .357 barrel for it?

 

Thanks.

[92X Performance Sight Cuts-Replacement Sights and Scope Mount-(Not-Optic Ready)]

Thanks, much appreciated.

[92X Performance Sight Cuts-Replacement Sights and Scope Mount-(Not-Optic Ready)]

I picked up a NIB LTT 92X Performance. It's not-optic ready. Does it have the standard Brigadier sight cuts? 

 

I'll be looking for replacement sights. As an old B-E shooter , I prefer a black front/adjustable rear combo. 

 

Also a dove-tail scope mount so I can avoid setting the slide milled. I don't want to go down that rabbit hole at this time.

 

Thanks.

The lesson here is not to change any parts out before a match without testing.

See above.  

 

I would ammo and optics to that, too.

Lighten up. This is the revolver forum, there's no one here under 50 anyway.

 I was thinking more like 60.

I used to date a fast swinger. Fun for awhile.

All good suggestions above. The work boot requirement is tough. You may have to try a dozen different ones before you find one that works. Then buy a few pair.

Buy "With Winning in Mind" by Lanny Bassham. The best $12.00 you'll ever spend.

[Chiappa Rhino "Competition" Trigger Job]

Many thanks for the Rino info. Interesting gun, to be sure. 

 

What about parts availability? And the cost of parts? Any aftermarket grips for it?

 

Pat, the gold version is for the man who has everything. Kinda like this:

[I shoot my LTT 92G like garbage]

I've come to the conclusion that it might actually be multiple factors.

 

1.  DA:  yeah, the Beretta is really long.     No getting around it

2. SA:  The SA on my CZ Shadow Custom has just a slight bit more of a rolling break to its feel than the LTT.  The Shadow moves a bit and then breaks, whereas the LTT is solid until you put enough force, then it breaks (more glass-rod-ish).   I think the LTT trigger makes it easier for the flinchies to know when to kick in, as the tension is building

3.  The LTT trigger breaks back further, closer to your other fingers.   I think I am better at pulling a trigger straight when my finger is forward more.   Once it's back that far (back meaning closer to the rest of the fingers on my hand) I have a harder time moving one finger but not the others

I suspect all of these could be overcome with enough training.   

The so-called "crisp" or "breaks like a glass rod" triggers are the most difficult to shoot well.  They more or less work like an on-off switch, making it harder to keep the trigger moving consistently.

[Lack of P320’s]

Manufacturers are backordered, distributors are out of stock. The whole supply chain was disrupted because of the shut-downs.

The computer figures out how much bigger to make the mold so that the end product is exactly net size and shape when finished in most cases. Sometimes there is finish machining required, depending on the geometry of the part and what it is used for. The S&W parts don't require any 2nd operations.

 

And those S&W MIM parts are hard. I had to buy ceramic stones for them.

[This may be a can of worms but I gotta ask.........]

If you can get a deal on one, buy it. Then you can send it out and get it worked on to make it right. 

 

A bit of cash will save a ton of aggravation.

 

Don't ever send it back to S&W.
