Beretta 92 Trigger Return Spring ??

[KarlG]

I have a Beretta 92D Centurian. Yesterday, I pulled the trigger back and it didn't reset by itself. Today I did a bit of disassembly and discovered that the spring that resets the trigger was broken. Some internet research revealed that this trigger return spring is a common failure point on the Beretta 92.

I orderd a new spring for $3.50, but also found that Wolff makes this Trigger Conversion Unit (TCU) for the Beretta 92. I can see how this unit would work and would last longer. Has anybody tried the Wolff TCU? What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance

I went ahead and ordered the Wolff mechanism (feeling rich or something). If anybody has experience with it let me know. Otherwise, maybe I will answer my own question in a few days.

Has anybody else had the trigger return spring on a Beretta 92 break on them?

Yes. I couldn't document how many thousands of rounds the gun had on it before I bought it or how it way cared for but I've had one break. Just to get your gun back into action while you are waiting,you can turn that spring around and use it.(depending on if it didn't break on the coiled part.)

berettaman,

The spring broke right at the coil so there is only one leg sticking out. I read somewhere that you could turn the spring around, but the way it broke I cannot visualize how to make it work. Without both legs (one leg to push against the frame and the other to push against the top bar) I cannot see how it would work. I do not have the benefit of having looked at it before it was broken. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

The Wolff trigger conversion unit arrived today. It was very easy to install. It works great. The trigger feels as good or better than it did before. The gun is a DAO that had a very nice trigger and it still does!

On the trigger return spring of the Beretta there is a little hook at the end of the leg. If the hook is what broke off then it can be turned around and re used. This is a modification the military wanted to reduce the need for spare parts. My old 92F has only one hook (original design) and is still going strong. Good luck with the Wolf conversion. I have used their springs in some of my revolvers and have never had a problem.

Sorry it took me so long to report on the spring. Nothing earth shattering to report. The spring installed easily. It would be difficult to install improperly. The directions were clear. When I dry fire the gun, it seems a just as smooth as it did before. I purchased the standard weight spring and could not notice any difference in pull weight from the old spring. Took the gun to the range and shot 300 rounds through it without problem. Feels pretty much like it used to.
