My 92s was pretty nice. I did spend the extra on hand pick. I bought another one for my son. I agree enough is enough on the 92s. I ma not sure why I try to buid a better wheel. LOL
I did get a used 92FS for not a lot more than the 92s. It was shot quit a bit but still shoot great and is very accurate.
I do read a lot about the D spring. Will that help with the trigger pull?

The D spring will help with the DA trigger pull, yes.
I understand the tendency to want to tinker or add or remove things on guns to make them better, trust me. I also understand how easy it is to get carried away and end up spending way too much money on a project gun that started out reasonably cheap. Be careful you don't end up chasing some of these projects done metaphorical rabbit holes that end up nowhere and bring you a bunch of unnecessary grief.
I had had a 92S many years ago with laminated wood grips that ultimately I sold when I upgraded to a commercial M9. More recently, I had bought one of these recent import 92S's and it was a beaut too be sure. How it shot/worked at the range was a different story. I liked the simpler sights on the 92S, and the safety only being on the left side, but I had really shitty luck overall with my pistol. It looked in many respects excellent to near new (the feed ramp as an example looked like it had been barely used at all) but I had several jams with the gun, even with the included original 92S magazine. It didn't jam every mag through, but most JHP's such as Cor-Bon and Hornady Critical Defense it choked just about every time. Even FMJ ball ammo, 115 grain up to 124 grain stuff didn't do much better. Brand new Beretta 92 mags (that had the necessary cutout at the bottom to engage the mag) did not seem to make a difference, the pistol just wanted to jam. For whatever reason. Ok. Whatever.
Some people have had great luck with these--some people have gotten 92S's that have fed and fired everything--from cheap brass cased Tula, to aluminum case, to steel case all the way up to expensive modern JHPs with no problem. Yeah. My gun weren't like that. I wasn't going to shell out any money to possibly replace a recoil rod and spring, certainly not a locking block or complete slide (not that I'd find one anyway). So I simply resolved that I would sell or trade it for something else. To put any money into the gun at all would just be a waste of time and money from my perspective--money that could have been put towards a 92G or something instead.
Even so, it sure was really, really hard to let it go. The gun really was purty with them shiny black smooth Beretta grips!
Anyway there is my .02 plus the other .98 as well thrown in.
