Stock Beretta 92 HammerAs you can see, it is a solid hammer with nothing really that special about it. I will be doing a range report after I take it out next weekend. This is how my Beretta looks in it’s final stage of upgrades and modifications. The next project will probably be ripping apart my 1911 and polishing up all the trigger parts to lighten and smooth out the pull.
#Beretta d spring lbs upgrade
Now that I have completed all my upgrades to my 92a1, I will start on modifying and upgrade a different firearm. This does make sense, especially since Beretta is from Europe and sells a lot of pistols to military and LEO. The fact that I use factory US or hand loaded rounds would negate the need for this heavier hammer spring and thus make it much more pleasant an experience in firing with the lighter hammer spring. I guess this spring is needed if you are shooting NATO 9 mm rounds due to the hotter round and tougher primer.

When asking Gunguy, I found out something quite interesting about this. Of course this raised a question as to why the stiffer springs were even installed to begin with. Here is a picture to show the difference between the longer, stock spring and the shorter, D version.ĭ Version and Stock Hammer SpringsIt really isn’t that much shorter, but it definitely does cut a couple coils off from stock size.Īfter I installed the spring and did a few test pulls on the trigger it is really easy to see how nice this upgrade is. The longest part of the whole process was taking off the grips, so it is really quite easy. After you swap out the spring you can easily hit the roll pin while compressing the spring to get the plug set back into place. If you use a 5/16 punch to do this, just keep the punch in and the pin still set in the frame on the opposite side. Just make sure you are careful during the process so you don’t end up shooting the lanyard loop plug across the room. All you have to do is remove the pin near the lanyard loop to drop the plug and spring out of the handle. I do not have any of those spiffy trigger weight things, but I can tell you that the stock trigger pull of the 92 I have was a bit on the ridiculous side. Originally, I was told that this was the primary upgrade needed to drop both the DA and SA trigger weight from 12 lbs for DA and 6.5 for SA to a reasonable level. I grabbed a factory Beretta D version hammer spring from Brownells for less than $10. The last real upgrade I had pending on my 92 Beretta was upgrading the hammer spring.
