Beretta 92FS question

[Steve1968LS2]

Getting to know my new purchase and I have one question though.

It's been awhile since I had a 92FS.. shouldn't it be double and single action DA/SA? On this one the trigger doesn't move the hammer back, it only releases it forward. ?? What am I missing here? Did they made a 92FS SAO? the part number on the box is J92F300 and there's no notation of it being single action.

Make sense?

I've since found that if the hammer is in half-cock then the trigger will move the hammer back and fire. But if the hammer is at full rest then pulling the trigger doesn't do anything.

So I'm wondering if there's a problem since it's not good good to typically carry in half-cock

Thoughts?

Does not sound right. Slide mounted safety?

[G-forceJunkie]

Is the saftey off?

im no beretta 92fs expert but its suppose to be DA/SA

Safety off.. pull trigger and no joy..

cock the hammer back, pull the trigger and the hammer falls.

cock the hammer back, pull the trigger and let the hammer down with your thumb to half cock and the trigger pull will move the hammer back until it fires.

If hammer is at rest then trigger doesn't do a thing except make the LCI go up. lol

I know they make like 50 varients of this gun, but I don't think this is right, especially given the info on the factory box.

Sounds like its been tinkered with or broken.

I doubt tinkered with.. doesn't look like was ever touched, much less broken down.

It's late.. I'm going to fully strip it down tomorrow and check out the internals.. it's a "new" gun so maybe something is just mis-aligned and not catching right.

Is there a magazine in it?

[guns4life]

safety on -

• pulling trigger full stroke raises LCI - nothing else
• manually pulling hammer - will not set short or full and trigger will start to follow midstroke
• pull slide to the rear and release - hammer will travel full, and follow to the decocked position as slide goes forward

safety off- hammer decocked

• short trigger pull - half cock - hammer sets short [half cocked for DA]
• full trigger pull - fully sets hammer and releases at the end of stroke [DA from decock]
• pull slide to the rear and release - hammer will cock full and stay cocked as slide goes forward [cocked for SA]
• hammer can be manully pulled to half cock and hammer will set short - trigger pull will set hammer full and release hammer [DA from half cock]
• hammer can be manually pulled to full cocked position - trigger pull will release hammer [cocked for SA]

with safety off, engaging the safety/decock will decock the hammer from either half-cock or full-cock

magazine not required

and btw, that's the most I have ever used the word cock at one time..

I've spent all of 30 seconds with mine since I got it out of jail Saturday...thanks for posting that.

Thats....very odd.


overzealous disconnector polishing/tinkering?

Who did you buy the gun from? Did they mention any thing special about the gun? Did you notice this before you purchased the gun? Didn't you dry fire the gun prior to the sale?

[Steve1968LS2]

So, I tore it all down and "futzed" with it.. looked like one of parts was hanging up a bit so that with the safety off the trigger acted like the safety was partially on. Filed off a tiny burr, oiled it up and they reassembled. Problem solved. I'm NOT a gunsmith so that's the best I can do on the explanation.

Guess I will chalk it up to a new gun that's sat for 12 years on a shelf.. working good now and I'm going to go hit the range in a couple of hours.

I did find that ALL the parts of this gun are metal and this is prior to Berreta moving to poly parts.

Now that it's working I can really see the benefit of the "D" Sping when comparing this to my 92D Centurian.

Thanks for the advise, happy I didn't have to send it off for repair.

I don't think the seller ever took it out of the box. No harm, no foul

Sounds like the trigger bar spring has either came out of its spot or maybe broken.
Take the right side grip off and follow the bar thats running along the frame.
On the bottom should be a spring, its easy to take out and put in.
It should ride in a spot along the bottom of the trigger bar.
Good luck hope this helps.

I think it was out of place.. and what you suggested is what I did without really knowing what I was doing. lol

In any event, it's back to good and I'm off to the range.
