Upgrading Stock Beretta Parts???

[DArBad]

I just bought an Italian Beretta 92fs. The following parts are plastic: trigger, recoil spring guide.

I've been reading some internet advise to: A) Change to "D" spring. B) Change to metal trigger and recoil spring guide. C) Change the trigger spring.
D) Change the hollow pin mainspring cap to "solid".

Question: Will changing these parts make the gun a " better " performer??? Or are these nothing but personal preferences??? The gun, as it comes brand new from the factory should be good as is, right????

Changing from the factory spring to the D-spring is supposed to improve the trigger pull substantially. I haven't had the chance to shoot one without the factory spring but will once I get a chance to visit the range.

I've read some different perspectives for changing the Inox Plastic guide rod to metal. One reason is the more solid weight of the guide rod helps in recoil and improves follow-up shots. Some people change it to metal because they don't like the look of it and prefer the older metal inox metal rods. For me, my new Made In Italy Inox is all metal except for the rod. I plan on changing it out to a stainless steel rod from Steve Bedair and have it bead blasted by a member on the BerettaForums once I get it to match the Inox frame. (Steve Bedair Guide Rods: http://guiderod.com/Checker.html)

For the trigger, I haven't read anything about plastic to metal triggers so I really can't comment on it.

Changing the trigger spring from factory to a different spring also helps improve the trigger pull. I have in my first Inox (Made in US), a Wolff INS Trigger. (Found here, http://www.gunsprings.com/Semi-Auto%...D%20CENTURION/) Once I get a change to shoot a Beretta without the trigger upgrade, I will see the difference.

As for point D, haven't heard that, so I'm not sure.

Thanks B16! That was very helpful and insighthful!

I guess I will have to pony up some money so I can buy and install the upgraded parts to make my Beretta perform better. The steel strigger from Dave Olhasso is pricey at over $50.00. so that would be set for later.
