Best Beretta 92 modifications

[@Grooove_e]

Apprently the plastic guide rod is considered to be more reliable than the steel rod as it can flex slightly and is also self lubricating to some degree

[@damionchrist]

I use Testors Fluorescent Orange on my front sight and Fluorescent Green on my rear sights of my 92FS. Every inexpensive, very effective!

[@matthaught4707]

I would add a caveat for people with really big hands. I have to use the factory mag catch in lieu of the extended catch on my pistols. I had a couple that came with the extended catch and found that I would generally over-depress it and trap mags, especially on Compact-framed guns. The good news is that it's pretty quick and easy to swap them back to standard.

[@SuburbanGutterRat]

What is a caveat

[@michaelroberts9930]

The Beretta 92 series is by far my favorite sidearm. Hands down I also love the CZ 75B model....

[@VinEllis]

I recommend everybody get a Wilson Combat light trigger return spring. It’s so much easier to install than the factory one and it’s amazing on the trigger pull.

[@roguefive512]

BTW great video please make more on this great firearm.

[@robertelmore3616]

You know what, I go a little farther, but it looks like you and I run a pretty similar gun. I use VZ grips. Wilson Combat 16lb mainspring (D equivalent), Wilson extended checkered mag button (the circular one though), aluminum lanyard plug/msh, Wilson square notch rear sight (black), Beretta factory G conversion, Wilson steel guide rod. I do use the standard plastic coated trigger. I really like it, actually. Also, fun fact. It's steel, but plastic coated. A magnet will stick to it, in my experience. At some point I'm gonna send mine off to WC for checkering, fiber optic rod front sight (green), mag well beveling, and a carry bevel job.

[@derekpierce1894]

I did very similar upgrades to my m9a1. I’m a big fan of the lanyard plug and the polymer coated trigger. I used the Wilson short reach for a little while and wasn’t impressed with the wiggle it had. The polymer trigger just felt better. I dropped my mainspring down to a 12lb hammer spring and even played with an Ernest Langdon polished 11lb hammer spring for a while before it started giving me light strikes.

[@stevekathylane1808]

I have an 92FS I bought in the 1990s that is super broke in so to speak. All I ever did besides changeing recoil spring every few years was VZ grips and 14 pound main spring. I decided last year to retire it and now shoot CZ 75.

[@Victor-xm]

Btw the factory trigger is steel, it just has some sort of coating to it. If you don't believe me check for yourself, it's magnetic.

[@ozzyondirt4003]

I also love tacos

[@AlabamaPilgrim333]

I put the LOK grips in mine, added the D spring, added the extended mag release... and unfortunately had to break down and buy a sight pusher to move the rear sight a few mm from how it was sent from the factory. It may be snake oil, but I also added a Wilson Combat “buffer” plate that I feel like it keeps the slide from beating the frame. Good addition for roughly $8.00. Think I will follow suit and black out the rear sights for the same reasons you discussed. Believe it or not, I CC this one (M9A1) in a JM custom kydex. I love this Beretta. And I did install the G conversion (decocker)

[@DarknessNation]

try sanding down your wilson combat buffer a little.... it will still protect the frame but create less of that rubber feeling at the end of the shot. And yes I had to do the same thing as you did and invested in a sight pusher.

[@youngle647]

Can you please send the links to all these!!

[@mozzberg590]

G-Conversion and D-Spring are my major changes. The grips are a distant third.

[@oso999x]

G conversion is only needed when you carry right? It's my first gun and i like the safety feature. Got it for range and home defense

[@billassande7628]

So Caleb how about a video on the 92 compact? I just came across one and was trying to decide on whether it would make a better choice than a full size LTT 92 for carry and competition

[@deadsoulwalking4296]

I used VZ golfball grips, WC fluted guide rod, WC lo pro safety/decocker, WC .290 rear battle sight, WC deluxe hammer,WC short reach trigger, WC extended mag catch, WC mag guide, 16# recoil spring, 13# hammer spring, Wolff trigger return spring and slide catch spring

[@bowtiediesel]

Keep the beretta videos coming...

[@roguefive512]

My Beretta is all metal to begin with except the plastic grips. The rear sight had a 3/4 single dot. Guide rod and trigger are metal. How do you measure the recoil springs strength? When did Beretta start using plastic? Sucks that users have to end up having to swap out this and that.

[@roguefive512]

Is the slide stop for the 92 Brigadier the same as the 92FS slide stop?

[@johncontreras2327]

So far I replaced the spring and spring rod, added a grip that’s adds a rail, flashlight and a new trigger but I want to get a new mag button and a compensator

[@Rooster-gp3ec]

I have a 92s. Can I swap out the slide and barrel with a inox?

[@IdeaSpyTwoPointFive]

Did you have to file your VZ grips to get the extended mag release to function? I had to file down my factory grips for it.

[@MrRevolver]

Nope

[@sharper9009]

Buy a Langdon Beretta 92 Elite LTT; no upgrades needed

[@MrRevolver]

The Langdon and the M9A3 are the most “out of the box” ready Berettas ever.

[@relsidebr4785]

I would rather buy 450-500 beretta fs and buy about 100 upgrade instead of waisting 1000 but thats just me

[@InstyleParty]

I have the Beretta 92 FS and the 92X both full size, where do you get the steel guide rods from? I want to change mine from the plastic ones. Thank you

[@MrRevolver]

Beretta sells them in their web store

[@AllCountiesNY]

That is great stuff just wanted to know how about the 92 skeletonized Hammer did all your upgrades but put the skeletonized hammer in I have never had any light hits. Thought it would work better with the D spring and hammer together for better trigger pull.

[@zenadventurer69]

For my 92FS, I replaced my polymer-coated trigger with all steel, replaced the trigger return spring with a WC replacement, replaced the guide rod with steel, replaced the main/hammer spring with the factory “D” spring, the polymer lanyard/spring cap with steel and the chintzy plastic grips with factory aluminum grips. Nice video on one of the two best semi-automatics on the planet (I carry the other...the CZ 75D PCR, similarly tricked out). Be safe. Make a difference. Vote for Joe Biden in November.

[@dylanstiffler2611]

I have a 92fs, and looking for some upgrades, tack-light/ lazer, holster and i want to beef up my stock sights. Any recommendations?

[@zenadventurer69]

toolman5741 IMHO, I don’t like mounted tack lights. I FBI carry a Surefire Steletto...gives me 360 degree discretionary coverage without giving the bad guy something to aim at. I’ve also replaced my trigger and guide rod with steel, my trigger return spring with a more durable Wilson Combat replacement, my hammer spring with a lower-power factory “D” spring and the chintzy plastic grips with factory aluminum.

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

@@zenadventurer69 what kind of light?

[@flyboy8046]

Why don’t you want to run a light weight main spring for carry?

[@MrRevolver]

Sometimes really super light springs will give you light primer strikes, and that's a bad thing in a shooting.

[@ColdCanuck50]

@@MrRevolver Are the checkered sections of the factory grips impacted with baby powder, I mean...chalk? I would think that continued application of powder would eventually fill the grooves and slowly reduce the ability of the checkering to provide good friction surface. A quick trip through a dish washer does wonders for what ails your grip....not to mention the SO. :-}
