Anyone try this yet? Does it work? http://www.gunsprings.com/Semi-Auto%20Pistols/BERETTA/92,%2096,%20AND%20CENTURION/cID1/mID2/dID36

I was told to get a trigger return spring as a spare. Is that the same as the trigger spring???

Cool! Thank you!

Thank you very much!!:D While I have your attention, what are your thoughts on the recoil reducing guide rod/recoil spring? Worth the money $80? Seems kinda high to me, but, I know little about the large Berettas.

Thank you! I ordered the same one from Midwest Gun Parts. It says they will work on a 96. Would that include a 96D? I suppose so, but thought I should ask. The DA-only should have nothing to do with the locking block?

Thank you for your reply. I don't have it in hand yet. I asked the seller to send a couple pics. Any of these any more help?

Could anyone tell me if this is one of the newer locking blocks that were made in the early 90's to replace the original 90 degree ones that were breaking? The link provided that shows the difference won't open for me. So, I just took a shot of my LB and thought I would post it. Thanks, Dave

Thanks fellas, you're very kind! In a way, I guess it is a crap shoot buying one of these older designs especially if hotter loads could cause catastrophic failure AND, I have no way of knowing if any or how many hot rounds would have been fired. Geez, I still like the gun though. JTQ...

Merry Christmas, Fellas! My LGS had one of the Indiana (?) state police Beretta 96D's in the MP3 finish. It looked pretty cool but was sold before I could finish my research on it. Clerk said they might be getting another one in, so I am continuing my work. I have read where the 96D is...

Thank you. Yes, I read he was sick last winter and that's why orders were running late. And, even though I had heard it's just been one excuse after another since the old man passed, I figured JR had gotten things straightened out so I went ahead and sent in my money and order. Then, the...

Anyone else order anything from Tylers? I ordered a T-Grip for my S&W 65 3" two months ago and he cashed my check. Three weeks ago he posted on his website all orders were being shipped. So far, no T-Grip and no response on numerous inquiries. Anybody else have problems? I know he has a...

Thanks so much guys! I did hold a Glock 23 but didn't like the fat and smooth grip. An M&P is a possibility at some point but have read where a few presented some problems. I did go ahead and sent payment for the H&K, so I'm hoping for a good one! And with practice, I hope to master the LEM...

Thanks, fellas. I really appreciate your thoughts. I do love my 225 yet, as I age, I'm finding it more difficult to think fast. I'm wondering if it's time to look into a DAO semi or the LEM trigger on the USP40c. The H&K I'm looking at is a PD trade-in in VG condition and does have the LEM...

Never had an H&K but might have a chance to get one at a decent price. If so, I'd have to sell a stainless Charter .44spl. carry gun and probably a Swiss P225 as well to finance it. Anyone have an H&K or had one at one time? Are they the cadillac of polymer guns as some say? Thank you...

Hey fellas....did anyone here purchase one of the surplus Swiss police P225's awhile ago that came with a holster? I just bought one of the current import Swiss Montage Suisse P225's and am looking for one of the holsters from Switzerland to complete the rig. It seems the surplus holsters did...
