SHE IS FINALLY HOME!!!!!! Came in the mail today, grabbed her and my range bag and sped off for the local range. Ok 1st let start with what I had done.
1) LVL II trigger job (speed bump)
2) Trit Novaks (had to send slide to get drilled
3) Elite II Hammer (looks WAY cool)

I got the range and wanted to shoot some Win Ranger SXT through it also as that is my self defense load. I bought a box of 147 gr and a box of +P+ and headed for my lane. Giddy as a school person (gotta be PC here)I pulled my 92 outta the bag and loaded up 4 mags of Winchester whiteys. I hung one of those little round targets and sent it out to 3 yards. I compete in IDPA (not very well I might add) so I was really interested in the DA shot. Loaded her up decocked and sighted. 1st thing I noticed was the front sight!!!! It gleamed like a beacon in a storm darkened sky!!!! Was pretty cool actually gotta figure out if that is normal or if it was the lighting in the range. I pondered that for a second then I squeeeeeezed. It's amazing how smooth that trigger is. Honestly I was dumbfounded. Now I had been having problems with POI till I came here and all the knowledgable people told me about drive the dot or what ever. So I did that and BAM!!! Close enough to dead center for me!!!! I repeated the process through the 4 mags and was delighted at my baby's preformance. I shot 100 rounds different ranges and targets and she preformed flawlessly (I do have one bad mag that was giving me grief). So I decided to load up the Ranger. Like the ammo shot great didnt really notice the difference from 147 to the +P+. That is till I decided to shoot the +P+ through my 9000S. That wasnt much fun. Think I am gonna have to go to the range again tomorrow just because. Ernest told me it would take 5 weeks round trip. Today was 5 weeks to the day!!!!!! Anyway thanks for listening to me (reading what ever) ramble about my pistol. ERNEST YOU ROCK!!!!!!

Dude I told you you wouldn't regret it.

Ernest is the man. If Chow Yun Fat sent his Berettas to Ernest Langdon, Hong Kong would be a wasteland.

Seriously, I am so glad you got your Beretta back. Looking forward to shooting with you soon. Don't forget, gun cleaning at my house tomorrow!:D

Did you get the black trigger or did you go twotone? Do you have the slotted or hex grip screws?

Black (tactical) and slot screws. I am not a 2 tone kinda guy. I was gonna go hit Home Depot and get some OD spray paint and make it look like a Wilson this weekend.

He has got to be kidding...
Right?

Dude, you have a Beretta, blessed by the hands of Saint Ernest.
PUT THE SPRAY CAN DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM THE GUN!
This isn't a High Point you have here!

Congratulations. I can't wait to send mine off for the trigger job and maybe some sights. I already ordered the SS guide rod, D hammer spring and Elite II trigger and put them in myself.

Hopefully you guys will be reading about my results before too long.
