| I recently aquired a Beretta 96D Centurion I got a heck ofa deal on it. But I was wondering if tere was a way to lighten the otherwise stiff trigger pull. It's already smooth enough but just a little to heavy. I am familiar with the beretta pistols and know for a fact I can take down a M9 to the bare frame so part swapping is definitely up my ally for this project. |

You go any lighter than the DAO mainspring & you'll most likely have repeated misfires from light primer strikes, IMO.
You may or may not be aware that 92FS owners install the DAO mainspring because IT is much lighter than the 92FS mainspring. If you want a smoother trigger, dry fire the gun a couple of hundred times & also apply some lube to the linkage. There's various lubes out there that are marketed specifically for the triggers of guns. Sounds to me like the gun just needs some break-in, IMO. My .o2 |

Try using the 18lb mainspring from Wolff. It's like $4.50. However, the 'D' model has a mainspring that is lighter than the std. F/G models.
Also, I've heard good things about their coil trigger return spring, but I've never used one. Traded my 92D off years ago. Two words I used to describe my 'D' were: Smoooth, but Loooong. Just lube it up and go shoot it! |

You can lighten the trigger pull significantly by simply cutting a few coils off the mainspring. (see video here if you don't know how to remove the mainspring: http://www.beretta92fs.com/video.php?id=211 ). It's essentially the same for the D and F models, so you should already know how.
First, buy another main spring, though. If you cut too much off you'll get light primer strikes, so after you cut you must go test to see if you still have enough spring tension to reliably detonate the primers. If not, install replacement mainspring. Generally speaking, CCI primers are harder than other brands, so try them first. I've done this to my 92D and had good results. |
