Steve_in_PA, my Beretta 92FS Inox is 18 years old as well, but I had three trigger return springs break in that amount of time. Perhaps yours has fewer rounds through or maybe the spring in yours is a better spring. The first spring lasted for about 10 years before it broke and the last two didn't make it even close to that. I'm not bagging on the Beretta at all, I am simply posting what I have seen. If you think the INS setup is a waste of money, that is your opinion. However, the fact remains that if the trigger spring does break when you need the pistol, you will have to manually push the trigger forward after every shot. Could you do that if you were being attacked? Perhaps some people could, but people typically react to how they train and I seriously doubt that many people practice the above mentioned method. I love the Beretta 92 design and I will never part with my Inox, but I think it is somewhat foolish not to consider an upgraded part for the pistol that will eliminate the possibility of a fairly serious malfunction. Also, what other parts have any of us here mentioned that "fly off the pistol"?
