Beretta 92 action job

[jeep45238]

I see too darn many 'trigger jobs' involving just a spring change for these guns. I had done a little cleaning up, but this week I did my best to duplicate the work Wilson Combat does to Beretta pistols.



So, copied over from another site:

I went through my 92G last night and finally got the guts to go deeper besides polishing the hammer strut and deburring the trigger bar.

Oh - my - gawd.

I used this link for reference on where exactly to do the work, since it's what Wilson does. I also took the liberty of polishing the bottom of the 'ramp' of the slide that picks up a round (since it will drag on the top round in the mag under recoil), the sides of the sear that rub against the frame, flats of the hammer that rub against the frame, and the trigger bar where it rubs against the frame, grip, and stock. Tools used were Spyderco ceramic rods, and flat knife sharpening hones.

The biggest thing is don't go crazy, just go until it's smooth. Do your best to avoid changing angles, which can be done by placing the hone on the flat part and moving it until you feel it 'settle', and keep that orientation - checking often.
Try to keep your hones square to the surface, and don't use pressure to do the work. Let the hone do the work, your job is to keep things square.
For the rounded parts like the round portion of the hammer, drag it radially - keep the SA hooks from contacting, and stop before the hammer halts on the legs on the backside.
I dodn't mess with SA hooks on the sear or hammer, because I frankly don't think they need to be messed with. If you do mess with these, know that changing angles and depths can result in an unsafe firearm if done improperly.
It's okay if you don't have a mirror finish, test your work often and see how things are improving. Stop when you're happy.
Buy a spare parts kit from CDNN for $30 - it'll have duplicates of everything you could mess up and is cheap insurance. If you don't mess up now you have spares for when things wear out.

Since the protective coating will be removed after doing this work, it's imperitive to keep things lubricated to prevent rust.


All in all I thought my 92 had a great trigger pull after breaking the edges on the wilson trigger bar, polishing the hammer strut, and dropping the hammer spring to 14 pounds. I had no idea how smooth these guns could be with less than an hour's worth of work, and it's pretty simple overall.
