This is my first post on this forum, I would like to thank all of you for taking your time to help out other people on sites like this one. I enjoy a professional response and look forward to gaining some knowledge from you all.
I am looking for someone to give me advice who has owned, worked on, or otherwise has credible experience with working in triggers of the Berretta 92F or Taurus PT 92 AF pistols.
I am in posession of a Taurus PT 92 AF 9mm Para. Serial no. L 074XX.
The handgun is completely stock. I was loaned this pistol to enjoy at the range and try to get some smithing done on it. Since my girlfriend and I enjoy shooting together and have bought a nice collection of guns, her father asked if I could use this one and get the trigger pull lightened for him, at his expense.
I would like to do something nice for him, and I thought maybe I could do above and beyond for this small favor, and just give it back to him around the holiday season and tell him it was on me.
Primarily I want to get the trigger pull lightened. This is the only thing he requested, besides me to burn up some 9mm with it. Specifically lightening the single action. Double action is heavy but feels safe and OK. The single action is reasonably smooth and short, but feels heavy. I don't have a scale on it and am just going by feel comparing it to other guns with known trigger pull weight, and it feels like it is between 4-7lbs. I would like it to feel about half that, around 2.5-3lbs. I already field stripped and removed the grips, then blew some gun scrubber through the trigger mechanisms, after that I lightly oiled them. That didn't seem to help, it was clean to start with. I wonder if I can buy some replacement Beretta 92F springs with lighter tension to achieve what I want? Or do I need to get it to a competant smith to go polishing on it or something? OR- am I stuck with what I have?
I thought it would be nice to replace these pretty but useless smooth wood grips with some houge or pachmayer ones. Any suggestions as to one over the other with this particular model handgun? I own both but on 1911 and sig, they both seem fine in my grip.
I see that there is a recoil buffer for the Beretta 92F, would this fit in the Taurus? Is it worth it, is there any noticable difference? Since it's not broken I am not inclined to fix it, however I am open to hear what you all think.
Last I thought if I was feeling really generous, getting him somehow set up on this thing with adjustable tritium sights. The rear looks like it could be drifted out, however it would have to somehow attach to the front sight. I may not do this because it could be cost prohibative (ie: more then pistol cost ) and I don't think it would be good to do anything that was not reversible. Just because it is not mine.
I hope you are not sensative to misspelling. Thanks for helping out.
