The Little Known Secrets To Beretta Pistols

The Beretta does not have an over-travel adjustment as a stock option. Having an over-travel stop is a big deal for performance. Therefore, you will need to purchase a steel trigger to replace the plastic one (costs about $15). Drill a hole within the trigger as high up as possible, tap it out for 6 x 32 tpi and install a set screw so that you have an adjustable over-travel stop.

The M9 Beretta 92 Series is one of the most well know pistols on earth, entering United States of America military service in the mid 80s. Due to its quality craftsmanship and high durability, it has the capability to fire under extreme heat and cold as well as after being buried in mud, sand, snow and salt water. Add in a high capacity magazine along with a low recoil, it is easy to find out why the M9 quickly became the standard sidearm for military personnel.

To be accurate for bullseye pistol shooting, the barrel must be match grade. Bar-Sto and KKM Precision both make good barrels for the Beretta, and you'll get excellent results from just using a drop-in barrel. Contrary to common belief, there is no need to employ a bushing at the front of the barrel to improve lock-up on a Beretta. The barrel locks up at the back against the slide using the locking block that's attached to the barrel, so it is imperative that your locking block is tight as well as in good condition. In the event that you are installing a barrel that requires fitting, you will be removing material from the back of the barrel until the gun will go into battery reliably. Ensure and apply Dykem or any other layout fluid between removing material to view where the contact points are. You want as much contact as is possible between the back of the barrel and also the breech face on the slide. Some barrels (Bar-Sto) have extra material on top of the back of the barrel and several of this must be removed slowly. The point of the extra material on these barrels is to get a tighter lockup with more contact surface, plus center the back of the barrel vertically on the breech face.

The UHC M9 features a spring pistol firing mechanism that allows its users to shoot as fast since they can cock the gun. This is a good pistol if you are just beginning to get into Airsoft or if perhaps you just want to shoot some cans in your basement or backyard. You are going to enjoy hours of fun when you take down your targets with a deadly aim. Conversely, if you're already an avid Airsoft enthusiast, then the UHC M9 is a must have for your collection. In almost any case, this pistol delivers great performance at a really low price.

To improve lockup, some guns have set screws installed running up under the frame rails by the back of the barrel to give extra contact points while everything is locked in battery.

To improve service life, some gun builders modify the frame rails and replace sections of the aluminum rails with pieces of steel, affixed with screws. This is only necessary if you are a top level competitor and need that extra 2% performance that comes with a super tight frame-to-slide fit, plus the durability of steel on steel vs steel on aluminum. You can find no "kits" for doing this type of work, so you shall need to have this kind of work done by a person who knows what they can be doing. This type of improvement of slide-to-frame fit is similar in nature to the "Accu Rail" improvement that used to be done on 1911 style pistols.

Inevitably, sights. If you replace the rear sight with an over-sized adjustable sight, it is common to need to trim down the very best of the firing pin blocker lifter to keep it from hitting the bottom of the sight. You will also have to get a taller front sight. The front sight can be welded on (less common) or you may get one that slips over the stock front sight and pins in place (more common) or you can get the slide milled out with a dovetail (uncommon). Beretta makes an adjustable rear sight that enables you to keep the stock front sight and not have to modify the blocker lifter, but it's more low-profile than most competitive shooters will be going to want.
