How do I get a trigger job?

[xxxleafybugxxx]

I was able to shoot my Beretta Nano yesterday for the first time. I love the gun. It's accurate,and mild with recoil with the right ammo. My only issue is the long and heavy trigger. What can be done to change this?

If I recall correctly the nano has no external safety so that long trigger was intentionally, purposefully designed to serve as a safety. My advice is to leave it alone for a few hundred rounds and let it get through the break-in period then see what you have.

What WestKentucky said. Also, small guns have usually shorter levers involved in the trigger, and a smaller hammer. That generally means that they must have a heavier trigger in order to function reliably.

Since this gun is brand new, you'd be wasting money right now if you did anything with the trigger. Try shooting it for another 250-500 rounds, and it likely that, as the trigger breaks in, it will become much smoother.

As others have mentioned, you do not want to reduce the length or weight of the trigger pull, as, in the absence of a manual safety on such a small pistol, that pull is serving as the safety.

Sounds like a DAO trigger, it is what it is.

The geometry of the moving parts in many popular compact guns cannot really be worked over like guns such as a 1911 or S&W revolver. It is what it is. You'll either learn to deal with it or trade up to something with more potential.

Grab a box of snap caps for your pistol and spend time watching TV & playing snap cap tap...
after a week, you should have a MUCH better trigger

If it still need more work, take a little Flitz and apply it to the important areas, then repeat snap cap tap...

When it starts feeling good, clean off the internals, oil sparingly (as in ONE drop applied with a fingertip all over the action)
let air dry before re-assembly, and enjoy the heck out of it
