Beretta 92FS - Custom Trigger

[StandardFinn]

I couldn't find a manufacturer for a flat faced trigger, at least one that's got the same feeling as my gray guns trigger..so I decided to make my own out of stainless.

Anyone know of a machine shop in SoCal that would be willing to cast a die and re-produce from this? I'd like to make them available to others if I can at a reasonable price..

Very clever.
How about 3d printing but plastic?

Nice man. I was wondering why no one produces a flat trigger for the Beretta like they do for almost every other manufacturer. How does it look in the cocked position?

I've thought about it, but there's something about a steel trigger that you can't get out of a plastic one. If I can't find a way to replicate this, besides by hand(which is not fast), I might look into 3D printing. Problem is I would have to model it and I'm not sure if the learning curve there is steeper than I'm willing to invest.

Though, thinking about it...figuring out how to model it to exact specs would probably be smart, I'll have to look into that probably!

Aren't there 3D printers that do metal? Isn't that what MIM is? Or is that sintering?

Or maybe get a mini mill and teach yourself how to do it?

Here's showing cocked:


Here's with the trigger on the wall:



Note: I do have the LTT trigger bar installed

Looks good, and your 92 looks amazing as well. Did you have ant trouble installing that hammer? I tried installing this "match hammer" from Beretta and it wasn't a direct drop in fit-

The hammer seemed to work fine only with the slide off, but would not function when the slide was installed so I sent it back.

I feel like I might've seen these before but I'm not entirely sure...I'd imagine a small, home 3D printer that will melt stainless into a trigger would be expensive and not very small though :\ Do you have any links or experience? I'll check into it.

So I splurged for Christmas (well over 2 months ago really cause of the time it took to receive) and got the NP3 trigger package from Langdon - Installed it last weekend which got me looking for an already manufactured flat faced trigger.

The hammer is the Elite II hammer and it dropped right in no problems. What would happen with the slide was on? Seems weird, was it rubbing on the groove it's meant to fit through?

The only problem I had with the kit was the locking block needed to be fit to my barrel (foray #1 into filing steel). Everything else went in no problem and man the SA trigger pull is ridiculously light, almost scary light. I got the #16 hammer spring in my kit but will probably get the #14 because the DA is still a wee bit of a b*tch with my hands.

*EDIT* The reason my right side decocking lever is off is because Langdon also didn't include any of the roll pins specifically for the right side decocking lever. I contacted them Monday and they've shipped me one, so good CS is A+

Yes, they make some fantastic artificial hips with metal printers. Expensive to buy. The shape isn't complicated, a machine shop could probably make some for a reasonable cost. You would need drawings any way you go, though. fortunately, with a group this big, there are bound to be some drafters or engineers around.

WTF is THAT hanging out where the right-side safety normally is?

My M9 doesn't appear to have THAT...
OR is that just the bar the safety lever sits pinned into?

Yeah, I was surprised and bummed the hammer didn't work as I heard it's a good combo with the lighter D spring. I kept going back and forth installing and un installing the stock and upgraded hammer maybe thinking I was doing something wrong. This is what I wrote in another thread-

"I installed a 92 "match hammer" item #C5L047 on their website and would not work in my 92fs. My gun is a 2019 Italian and have only added the D spring for upgrades. The hammer seemed ok in da/sa with the slide removed and also in da with the slide attached. In SA though with the slide attached the trigger pull would not release the hammer. I'm stumped and am thinking maybe this is a custom part and not meant for drop in."

That's odd...the only reason the trigger wouldn't release the hammer is that the sear/hammer fit was off and that has nothing to do with the slide...what parts did you remove when installing the hammer? I don't see how the hammer being cocked vs. uncocked would affect it's functionality unless the hammer strut wasn't interacting correctly with the hammer, or when installing the hammer you didn't seat it properly into the sear.

I'd have to put my hands on it to figure it out, but what you're describing makes no sense. I also am not familiar with the differences between the US made and Italian made 92's so it's possible that there's a slight difference, but I find that hard to buy without actually seeing it in person, especially for a gun you bought last year.

It doesn't make sense to me either. Im going to shoot it tomorrow to make sure it still functions properly. I expect it will and just sum it up to the match hammer not being compatible with my gun for some reason. If not then I messed up somewhere along the process and will regroup from there.

Interesting indeed...
