Beretta 92 trigger spring.

Do NOT put the safety on and dry pull the trigger through its full double action pull just to play around with it.
It will break.
I have one and like the gun and used to play with it doing that and broke the trigger spring. TWICE.
I finally got the picture. That safety pin spring is not designed to be flexed that much.
 
Say what??? Since the trigger spring and safety are not connected how could the spring break? I have a 92FS and have never seen this problem......perhaps you could explain further?
 
I don't think I'll ever have that problem with mine.

I have one of the older Italian guns, made in the 1970s....

It has no decocker, and the safety is frame mounted and operates in the same manner as the 1911.

In fact, I think I can carry it cocked and locked.
 
Steve....

I'm talking about the trigger return spring. The little safety pin looking thingie that brings the trigger forward after you pull it.
Nothing to do with the safety.
But....I was PLAYING with the gun. Unloaded....safety ON so the trigger just pulls with no resistance. Shooting bad guys on TV.
But doing that pulls the trigger through its ENTIRE range of motion REPEATEDLY. That spring is designed to last a long time of using it for the first shot and then the movement is minimal when it is fired from the cocked position.
But what I was doing was hundreds and hundreds of FIRST SHOT FULL RANGE pulling of the trigger.
And the spring broke. TWICE.
So I got a new spring. (Actually Beretta sent 2) and now I shoot the guys on TV with my 1911 dry firing.

Excuse me, but I respectfully disagree. I have carried D model Berettas (DAO) for over 10 years, logging many thousands of rounds through them plus substantial dry firing, with every shot going through the entire range of motion. I had a trigger spring break about 9 years ago, but there is no distinction between single action and double action firing as far as trigger spring failure goes, according to the police armorer who fixed mine. (Also note that the spring is compressed during single action firing, so SA firing is not totally stress free.)

It just sounds like a run of bad luck to me.
 
Lavan, but the instruction manual says not to pull the trigger with the safety engaged. Now this may sound rude, but if you knew you weren't supposed to do it, why did you? More to the point, why did you have to break two trigger return springs before you got the point?:confused:
