I’d venture to say that Berettas are one of the easier pistols out there to work on. However, watching Ernie’s YouTube installation video and one or two others made installation a breeze. I was a little… anxious, you might say about taking the Beretta all the way apart. I’ll be honest, before the kit showed up, the extend of my gunsmithing skills had been installing Apex Tactical trigger kits into M&Ps and the occasional deep Glock cleaning. (The trigger bar, hammer, hammer strut, and sear come pre-polished and stoned.) (12, 13, & 14 pound are the standards options listed – I went with the 12 pound spring.) Wilson Combat Reduced Power Mainspring of your choosing.Langdon Tactical’s Beretta 92 Kit Includes: For $165, it was almost a no-brainer decision. When it comes to gunsmithing, Ernie is to Berettas what Bruce Gray is to SIGs. Touted as equivalent to 90 percent of his custom gunsmith work, it had my attention. And while I was at it, might as well bling it up with some Wilson Combat grips, steel guide rod.Ībout this time Ernest “Ernie” Langdon with Langdon Tactical Technologies came out with his Trigger Job In A Bag. While I was at it, I figured I’d drop in the seemingly-mandatory “D” spring as the factory trigger pull, well… stunk.
It was completely stock and I intended to leave it that way.Īfter a while the thumb safety started bugging me, so I order the “G” conversion kit. When my father passed away, I inherited his M9A1. For those of your not familiar, on “G” models the safety lever acts only as a decocker. Anyone will tell you, once you go “G”, you never go back. It wasn’t until relatively recently that I finally picked up one. Martin Riggs and John McClane did for Berettas what “Dirty Harry” Callahan did for S&W Model 29s. As a child growing up during the 80s, it’s no surprise my first “gun crush” (and likely MANY others like myself) was a Beretta 92.
