Normal.
When I bought my 92, I spent about 100 dollars on upgraded springs and a short reach trigger, which is metal. Very easy to do and very much worth your money and time. ITs still a heavy bitch, but a fine gun made better with a few minor tweaks. |

Some of the parts on new production guns are plastic, like the guide rod, or plastic coated metal.
I tend to buy used, older production guns. All metal parts kits are available and pretty 8nexpensive. |

I have a lot of plastic guns, im not concerned about plastic just because its plastic. Is anyone aware of failures because of the plastic parts? I dont mind spending the 100 bucks to swap parts but i also am.not sure if i need to.

The trigger is plastic coated, but is not wholly plastic.
Hold a strong magnet up to it if you don't believe me. |

The metal trigger is definitely worth it. Feels much better.

I have a 92 and it has the plastic/metal trigger. I think it comes down to what you personally want on it, as I have never heard of a plastic trigger failing. I have a few pistols with plastic triggers and have never had a problem with any of them for thousands of rounds. Some people just like the metal trigger better. I would worry less about the trigger myself and get a "D" spring, as it will make your shooting more enjoyable.

For what you want to accomplish, buy the D spring and metal trigger upgrade kit for $25. Lots of videos on Youtube on how to do the install yourself.

Side by side the metal trigger definitely feels better and is a worthwhile upgrade at almost no cost. I swear it takes a pound off the single action and two of the double action. Quote HistoryQuoted:

While I don't see anything wrong with the plastic coated trigger (it is still metal underneath), I tend to do the metal trigger/D spring upgrade on the Beretta's I'm going to use regularly. Just feels better to me.
