| Which hammer spring for a 92? Wolff or Beretta D? If Wolff, what weight? |
|
I am new to 92s myself but I tried the 16lb Wilson spring (Beretta D spring is 16lbs) and the Wilson 14lb.
So far the 14lb (and 16lb of course) has set off everything I have thrown at it. You will see significant improvement with the 16lb weight over stock, so I guess I would start there. |
| I use D-springs and EII hammers on virtually all of my 92s and have never suffered light strikes. Some people have run into trouble lighting off hard primers with the 14 lb springs according to what I've read on the web. Just for consistency and reliability I've stayed with the Beretta springs. |

Any particular reason for the Beretta as opposed to the Wilson or Wolff springs? Quoted:

Beretta D Any particular reason for the Beretta as opposed to the Wilson or Wolff springs? Reliability. I shoot a lot of nato, tula/wolf, euro brass case stuff and they all have hard primers. Ive never liked using light springs to improve a guns trigger but since the d spring is a factory part for dao guns I dont mind. |
| Is the D spring a 16 or 18lb spring? Right now I am using a Wolff #14 with an Elite II hammer over the weekend I shot almost 1100 rounds shooting a mix of 124gr Winchester NATO, 124gr Blazer brass and 147gr +P HST. Not a single failure of any kind including light strikes. I am still concerned about it though. I plan to purchase 500rnds of Wolf just to make sure. |

The only primers I had an issue with were European NATO ammo. Also, I think the Wilson spring mine came with might have been 13 pound. |
| Were you using a standard hammer or an Elite II hammer? Over on PF a WC rep stated that their WC BTs go out the door with either #13 or #14 springs. I guess depending on how they perform in testing is how they decide which spring to use. The rep also said that while the Elite II is lighter, they claimed that the hammer moves back further than the standard hammer while firing giving it a little more smash.I am sure there are variables to this due to tolerances gun to gun and part to part. Explains why I can shoot 9mm NATO out of my 92A1 with an E2 hammer and #14 spring and others have problems. I still plan to shoot some more Euro ammo out of it to find a failure point. I ordered some of the German made MEN NATO stuff from SG Ammo. |

16 pound Wolff spring and the Beretta Elite II hammer in mine. Eats everything I run through it. http://<a href=http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff503/nomadcity/IMG_20160319_171742.jpg</a>" /> That lower grip screw looks to be standing proud by quite a bit...
