I have a nice Beretta 96 that I recently noticed is all Italian. Not a US mark on the gun anywhere, even the mags say made in Italy. It has an exceptional Double action and Single action trigger pull that I always assumed was due to an aftermarket trigger job. The gun is also magnaported (very nice work by the way) so I assumed it had a trigger job while it was magnaported. Since I bought the gun used over 10 years ago, I was not sure.
So, fast forward to this weekend. I handled several US made used Beretta 92/96's and they all hand rough triggers and seemed spongy in the let offs. The problem is I also handled a few other Italian (used) 92/96's that were just like mine. Crisp and smooth for the SA/DA triggers.
So, is this normal and the Italian guns are just better made or did my gun get the workover some time in its history?
