| Wow what a difference that makes. Double action is smooth and way lighter. Only question is are there any reliability concerns with this spring installed? I used a beretta factory part ordered from brownells. I conducted function and safety checks with snap caps and everything looks good, but have not had any live fire yet. This weapon will return to Leo duty in 24 hours. Suggestions? |

...any reliability concerns with this spring installed? No problems at all with 9mm and the D spring. Only an issue if you plan on using a .22 conversion kit. I had frequent light strikes with the D spring and Beretta factory .22 conversion kit. CCI MiniMags were the most reliable, but I'd still get a FTF about every other mag even with the premium ammo. Double-action re-strike would usually cure the problem, but switching back and forth DA-SA-SA-SA-DA-SA sucks. Now I keep one 92 set up with the factory spring for .22 kit use. |

I keep staying with the stock spring because I'm worried about light primer strikes. But dang... I keep hearing that it's good to go though. Thanks for testing it out. Let us know if you ever DO have problems. Shipwreck knows his beretta's though.  I replaced the spring and it was so much nicer to shoot. Go ahead and do it.

| Realize if you have an Italian model, you must use a punch to knock a roll pin out. If you have a USA made one - it's simple. Just manually push a pin out. On Italian made ones, I usually get the USA style lanyard loop pin, and use that when I install the D spring. No need to mess with a hammer and punch after that. The lanyard loop pin is like less than $2 if I remember right... Also from Brownells. |

Just installed a "D" spring in my 92 and honestly, don't feel much of a difference. I mean, it's a little but lighter but not much. Like the DA weight went from 11 lbs to 9 lbs. (don't have a push-pull gauge, just estimating) Was hoping for more.
Maybe it's because my gun already has 15,500 rounds through it the stock spring was well worn in... I don't know. Kind of disappointed. It was only $5 but still. |

Swap out the stock hammer to the elite hammer, it runs even smoother. +1000 And its semgin for the win! If your going to do the D-spring, your already half way there... just swap the hammer and be done. fine with CCI, Win, Fed, Rem, Magtech, and Wolf primers. both factory and on reloads. Where reloads have had issues is with bad primer pockets and primers not seated fully. |
