Beretta 92FS, finally....

Old_Me said:
i never had an issue with a plastic guide rod, or a MSH break either

but when i spend good money, (like about $1,400 or up on a 1911) on a gun that is supposed to be/should be all metal, that's what i paid for, an all metal gun..polymer guns to me, are perfectly acceptable, as sold as polymer, and most of those guns cost me well under $800...Beretta prices paid

(i still replace plastic guide rods on polymer guns however)

however, i had seen a "few" pics or videos of field strip, or full disassembly, where "plastic parts" failed after a short round count..

i know that "some" gun makers recommend new recoil/trigger springs after about 5,000 rounds(??) as a matter of general maintenance, and reliability.

like you say, "if the owner prefers", which for the most part, i do.

i'd be "happier" however, if the gun makers just installed the parts the guns were originally made with, before "cost cutting" became the bean counters mantra.

i cannot recall the price i paid for the Beretta hammer "D" spring, trigger spring, and steel guide rod, but it could not have been more that $50(?), when we all know all gun makers buy thier parts in bulk, which (maybe) at thier pricing, would have cost Beretta all of $20 to have installed on the factory assembly line, then just add the nominal cost to the gun. as it takes no more time or effort to install the REAL metal parts, as it did to instal plastic.

same can be said for any MSH on a 1911, built on the assembly line.

Great catch on the Beretta. My old college room mate was on the Columbia PD after college and was in on the eval team for the switch over from revolvers. Which meant by extension meant I was on the team. :) First time I got to shoot a high capacity 9 or a double action semi auto. The Beretta was my favorite. I really liked it, to the point of buying one. It was hard to hide, but easy to shoot. Everyone should have one!
 
I'm about to get on the 92 band as I've been perusing the 92 variants, but after checking aftermarket parts I have NO clue on what fits with what! Some parts say "gen3" and I have 0 idea what gen is what as Beretta doesn't state gens. After finding a 96 (40s&w) then doing a search for a 357sig conversion i found it possible 🥳. What else I'm trying to figure out is wth are there minimal differences in barrel lengths.......4.7, 4.9 and 5.1" iirc? The 5.1 seems to be a threaded version, but are the 4.7 and 4.9 using the same slide lengths? It appears so ad I'm searching for aftermarket barrels. What else I've noticed is the 92-11 model as it's supposed to have a 1911 grip angle or just the grip panels to make it so? I definitely don't want those! 2 models that appear to be the same, but has about a $600 difference. Might be because the skeleton hammer and trigger variance? Who knows about "the Tony system " and what makes it supposed to be an improvement? Asking for a friend ;)
