SRT Driver Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Does anyone have any Beretta 92FS trigger tricks? Heard something about using a 1911 mainspring quite a while ago. Does this work? The trigger is smooth, just heavy. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkbrd Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Langdon Custom for Sigs and Berrettas. He sells parts and does the work also. Brownells also has spring kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Get a few "D" weight hammer springs from either Langdon or Beretta. Langdon's competition weight hammer springs work if you use Federal primers. I had lots of problems with the harder Winchester primers. I didn't like teh Wolf captive spring I thought it made the trigger msuhy. The Speed bumpt trigger is a wast of money and illegal in production class.

Jake Di Vita Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I had lots of problems with the harder Winchester primers. I had Ernie's Level II Competition job done and my gun reliably fired (every time) any primer...including CCI's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I have Ernie's Level 3 and I haven't had any misfires. Although I always use the soft Federals in matches (as he recommends), I've practiced with lots of Winchester without incident. You could always get the level I trigger job which is guarenteed to ignite anything (reasonable) and is still a vast improvement over stock.

BerettaRacer Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I've got LTT's level 3 trigger in all my Beretta's. The only problem was an occasional misfire with Blasers, so now I shoot mostly Wally World white box and occasionally S & B, both work fine. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I have Ernie's Level 3 and I haven't had any misfires. Although I always use the soft Federals in matches (as he recommends), I've practiced with lots of Winchester without incident. 4th'ing Langdons - It's smoother and lighter: DA was 12+, now 8 SA was 8 now 5 (or so). $85 well worth it. Worse was shipping costs (FedEx next day ~ $48) - but since Ernie's so far out, they didn't make the guarantee, and it was free I got the Level II job on a 92 and a 96 (never got the Federal advice though) - and I only shoot Winchester primers becuase they, like me, are cheap - never a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I think he only pushes for Federal primers with the Level 3. Still, seems to light the Wins just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this work?The trigger is smooth, just heavy. Thanks. The D spring is the start. Greasing the sear/hammer interface is also important. The Beretta Forum has a posting about what surfaces to polish if you want to do it right. It's one of the easiest guns to do because all you have to do is "flat polish" two surfaces (sear face and hammer hook face). No grinding, filing, changing angles.

SRT Driver Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Thanks everyone! Now it's just punching pins and polishing! BerKim - I feel your pain. I think I'll get the springs and try it myself. If it doesn't work, put it back together and ship it to Ernie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRT Driver Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 Bucky, After Bountyhunter posted, I looked around and found http://www.logicsouth.com/~lcoble/dir10/excs124.txt. I'm going to order springs and see how it goes. Money is tight so I'll try it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please point me to this forum and or these articles. Thanks!! I posted a request over on the Beretta Forum to have them post the illustrated trigger job thread where we can all find it. Check back later and look in the Gunsmithing section, maybe it will be a sticky. http://www.berettaforum.net/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I have Ernie's Level 3 and I haven't had any misfires......It's smoother and lighter: DA was 12+, now 8 SA was 8 now 5 (or so). 8# DA is about right, I got mine down to about 7.5#. The SA pull on mine is 3# even. I'm not sure why yours would be 5#, you might want to measure it again. A simple two-piece polish and lube gets them down to about 3.8#, getting to 3# takes the finesse polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNsTeR Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 My wife's Beretta has the lightest hammer spring Wolff sells. Decent pull (probably still ~5lbs) and no misfires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
