The Modernized Pasta Information aka Beretta

[matemike]

I've inherited a 92fs which is now a "G" version, it also has a new wilson rear sight, 14# trigger spring and 14# recoil spring with fluted guide rod. It's my favorite 9mm.

I find the full size oem grips to be a little cumbersome for my medium sized hands. So grips will be next. I want Wilson grips. Has anyone used both the standard G10 grips and the ultra thin grips who can comment on their preference?

I have the Wilson Ultra Thin grips on several Model 92s, including a compact 92. They make all the difference to me, and I don't even think of the gun as having fat grips when these G10 versions are installed. I recommend them.

I'm looking at jumping into the 92 series with both feet. A few years ago I got the opportunity to shoot a Langdon tactical 92 with the complete works done to it. Every since I have been holding out for the 92 LTT RDO Version, or even the standard 92LTT with the upgraded trigger. However recently I got to handle the M9A3. I really liked that as well.

Beretta experts on here, should I keep holding out, or settle on the M9a3?

At some point you will regret “settling for” WW.

Get the 92 LTT RDO Version.

I do agree with this...get a LTT RDO when you can

But in today's market, if you see something in person, you like it, you want it, you can afford it, = you buy it. Don't pass.
Plus, now you can tinker with it (I'm a tinkerer) and set up like you like. That's all part of the fun and really making it YOURS. ymmv

BTW I got a set of the WC ultra thin grips from a member on here (Hot Sauce) and they are great.

Being that I'm "all in" with spare parts, holsters etc. I'm eyeing a 92 Inox as soon as funds allow it.

what does the maintenance look like on these when actually used?

I live in a tropical environment so rust is what concerns me the most and most of that is rust on magazines. Gotta keep 'em cleaned and wiped down. In my experience the 92 shoots clean since the slide is open allowing soot to eject to the open air. I had to replace an extractor once in an older 92F. Never had a locking block or trigger spring fail.

Outside of .mil experiences, has anyone had a locking block fail? I see it all the time at .mil training events.

Not too many people shoot berettas around my area, so I can’t say as I’ve seen any locking block issues. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

I’ve read conflicting info on locking block change intervals. Some say the current locking block is good for 20K rounds, while some say to change them at 5K or even 10K rounds. Can anyone weigh in on that?

[Renegade04]

I have had an affinity for Berettas for several years. Over the past few years, I have picked up a few nice ones. I am in the process of getting a new M9A4 on order of which I will do tomorrow. Here are my Berettas.

[HighDesert]

Very nice. Look forward to picking those up as well when Ernest can get some back in to work his magic.

Are the A4s Italian made? Or a mix?

I'd like to pick one eventually, but like my A3 would prefer Italian with a black finish.
