Finally Got a Beretta Inox!

[Oh Shoot]

OS, I have two Inox 92FS. One of them was built circa Y2K, made in USA, all stainless/silvery, no black parts.. (etc)

 

 

Thanks for all that Lester. I've heard you compare your different 92 iterations before, but didn't pay a lot of attention, so glad you chimed in.

 

OTOH, the black safety, hammer and trigger makes a nice cosmetic contrast as well.

 

Yeah, it's not a dog or anything...

 

It looks like CDNN has stainless parts available.  http://www.cdnninvestments.com/be92magrebuw.html

 

Much appreciated, Mav ... not overly expensive either. Hmmm, will have to decide. And also decide if I have the brains to install the various parts if I want to.

 

 

Meanwhile, yeah, methinks the stainless wanted the wood grips.  Have Evil Black One and Purty Blonde One. :)

OS, check Brownell's for stainless inox parts. Brownell's is Beretta's official parts distributor & has the parts you're looking for. Most of the parts on CDNN are NP3 coated & not true inox, but they're a very close match. In fact, Beretta used NP3 coated parts on many of their inox pistols. Be sure to pick up a "D" model hammer spring. All full size 92/96 pistols use the same spring. It takes a few minutes to install & lowers the trigger weight by about 3-4 lbs. Factory DA trigger with standard spring is around 11 lbs. DA trigger pull with D spring is around 7 lbs. Best $5 you could spend on a pistol. I have a D spring in all my Berettas.

 

Mine was made in the USA, but I would have preferred the Italian model (no difference in quality. I just like the "pasta" models). If you're interested, here's a link showing pics of all my current Berettas... http://rugerforum.net/gun-gallery/63073-new-beretta-family-photos.html

Wow, you ARE da Beretta man. I have the two 92's now (blued one is Italian)  and also a couple of NEOS, so I'm just a piker. :)

 

Muchly appreciate all the info above. I guess I would have gotten around to looking there as I did buy a few NEOS backup parts from Brownell's. Among other things, I lost and found the damn little slide lock lever spring twice, and was thinking of maybe getting the carbine kit sometime, and that comes into play every time you take the base of the pistol off.

 

One thing though, wouldn't have thought the hammer spring would make much of a diff on trigger pull, but I guess thinking about it would it its tension must be overcome by the sear. Thing is, in single action mode, they're already pretty darn nice, but maybe would ease the double action pull also.

The D spring only drops the SA pull by about 1/2 lb because of the hammer/sear design. The DA pull is where the D spring makes the most difference. I have a Beretta 90-Two in .40 with a D spring, SRT (short reach trigger), & a full trigger/hammer job. It has a glass smooth trigger pull that's 6.5 lb DA & 3.5 lb SA. They're all great shooters IMHO though.

Here's an updated pic with some recently aquired "Ghost" grips & old school Inox magazines. It almost looks like a different pistol.

Nice... do you want to sell it?  Just kidding but it  you do.....

Thanks. I don't think I'm ready to let go of this one. I'm reluctantly listing on my treasured Berettas right now.

That is one beautiful Beretta.  Love the Stainless Steel.

 

Also, some really clear pictures.  Great job!
