This is funny, I had a buddy in Aliso Viejo email me earlier today saying "I know a guy who has a 92FS, it's a pig with a crappy trigger and he wants to find a place to fix it". What a coincidence!

Well, I'll say the same thing I told my buddy... sell it, try a P226 or a USP9. The HK you'd basically better like as-is. The P226 is not only good out of the box, but can be extensively worked over by TJ's in SoCal or Bruce Gray in NorCal.

I know it's not what you asked for, but basically I agree with the previous poster. It simply isn't worth spending the money to improve the trigger on a 92. If you're just going to use it for plinking, learn to love it If it's for competition, get another gun...

see if this would help it's only $19.99 + s/h

Looking for suggestions to correct the long spongy trigger on my Beretta 92 FS. Information on parts and suppliers,or a gunsmith recomendation would be appreciated.Thanks much.

Check out the Beretta Forum and do a search under the gunsmithing section. There you will find some help and direction rather than the negative comments of those who know nothing about the gun. I have several and like them all. They are easy to do your own trigger job if you are somewhat mechanically inclined but there is little you can do about the design of the gun.

Also check out Gunsprings.com for various spring replacements. They are good and service has always been great. They were the original maker of the modification listed below from MidwayUSA.

Some swear by Fords and some swear at them. The same is true with guns.


This is not a help - Save your bucks.

Buy a Beretta 92 Elite II....they come with sweet triggers. I don't have one, but when I worked at Turners, I used to play with that gun alot. It is pricey, but if you can find a good price, it is a really nice gun.

I have both a 92FS in stainless that's about seven years old, and an Elite II that's less than a year old that I just now finished cleaning. The 92FS was a 21st b-day gift from my father, and has about 5,000 rounds through it. It serves as my home defense weapon. The Elite II was purchased a few months ago, and has about 1500 rounds through it. It's my target/competition gun.

Is the DA or the SA trigger pull spongy for you? My 92FS is in my bedside safe, and I'm too lazy to check it. However, my Elite does have a fairly long DA pull (as do all DAs), but I certainly would not call it spongy. The pull on the 92FS is a little stiffer.

One of the most popular mods for 92FS is to take a 'D' model trigger spring (92D/96D being DAO) and put it into the gun. You should be able to find many threads on this over at the Beretta forums at http://www.berettaforum.net .
With that, and a little polishing, you should be able to get very close to an Elite II pull.

Also, if you need a good Beretta smith, check out:

Since Ernest Langdon doesn't work on Berettas anymore, everyone swears by Dave Olhasso now. Also a good place to get parts.

I will say that Berettas are not for everyone. The ergos favor larger hands, the sights on my 92FS require that you 'bury' the dot in them, and they aren't the new 'hotness' that all the new plastic guns are. My Elite shot low and to the left at longer ranges, but adjustable sights fixed that (common problem with the Elite II). But if you love them, I'd say try to find an Elite II (no longer in production, but still on the CA approved list) or wait till the 90-two makes it onto the list.

Negative comments? Yup. Know nothing about the gun? Hardly. I'm not one to knock a gun that I don't have trigger time with. I have enough time on enough different 92's to know that you'll never find one in my gun safe. I gave help and direction based on the fact that the guy owns one, and doesn't like it as it sits. Why try to fix something you don't like? Rather than sink more money into it, and pray that it comes back to you as something you like, just sell and get something else.

Like you said, some like 'em, some don't. The original poster doesn't like his gun. It makes much more sense to just sell it and get something he likes, rather than sink more money into it, and hope that the money is well spent. Maybe he'll like another gun, and then he can upgrade it to like it even better. Like the saying goes, "You can't polish a turd". And, like you said, one man's turd is another man's treasure. Or something like that

If it is a new handgun, dry fire it a few hundred times and the trigger will get better. The Sig trigger is better out of the box and probably will always be better, but if you break your Berreta trigger in, it will be close.

The "D" spring swap will certainly lighten the trigger pull. I have read a reduced power 1911 mainspring will do the same as well. Very simple swap and the spring is about $4 or so. Worth trying at least to see if it makes the firearm better for you.

I had Lee Brown do my 92fs about 10 years ago.. really sweet results...

Like the saying goes, "You can't polish a turd". And, like you said, one man's turd is another man's treasure.

I'll remember that one!
