One more off the list of wants.
And god damn, 45 is just as hard and expensive to find as 9mm. I thought it'd be more plentiful.

Hk mags in general are near that. I know because usp.Lol HK 45 mags are always $50+. Welcome to HK.
Thanks.Awesome journey! I just came across this thread and glad to see another member rocking a Beretta 1201FP!

So i got a few new accessories today.
Still dont have the trigger for the Sig
So, i have/had the magpul bad lever.
I was always disappointed with it fue to the slop it had.

So i upgraded to a phase 5 one piece.
Also, i moved on from the fostech trigger,( i still have it.) Maybe itll fond a home in a sbr in the future.
But heres what i upgraded(?) To instead.

Purely because of the no creep and straight to the wall and near no reset.
I imagine, itll be close to the fostech in its own right.

Part of me wishes i opted for the diamond, but i didnt really want to spend the amount of money they go for.
Especially, when i would probably set it to the same 3.5 lb this is set to.
Ill have another addition next week to the "armory".
Im super excited about this one. But most likely everyone else will shrug at it and go meh.
to be clear, the risk isn't so much snagging the lever as slipping off and hitting the trigger when you don't mean to.I know its something that can get in the way, something could snag it.
Its risk is certainly there, but in my eyes its low risk.
For the limited shooting ive done, that lil lever had become a second nature to me already.
I leave the left for the mag reload and immediate grab, while my finger is already off the trigger and ready to hit the lever and go back in.
Not saying im a pro in any reguard. But i see it as a "get back in the fight that much faster piece" h
Like i wrote earlier about the efk fire dragon , its not just a captured spring.The heavier recoil springs for the 92 series are unnecessary and exert more stress on the locking block, which is sort of the structural “weak link” of the 92 design. everyone Wants captured recoil springs until they realize it’s easier to replace uncaptured ones every 4-5k rounds.
congrats on the FDE cx4. I sold my cx4 years ago but it was reliable and fun to shoot. I could never reach the mag release though, due to the stock design.
Like i wrote earlier about the efk fire dragon , its not just a captured spring.
Its a little piston as well.
As for replacement, id just buy anither one as it was a dramatic difference. From the traditional spring and guide rod setup.
Even so much so, that improved upon the almighty 92x performance.
Essentially making it the perfect 92.
Nevermind calming down the 96 as well
Thanks for the congrats on the cx4.
I did notice the reach for that mag release is a bit more than anticipated.
But, i also came up with an idea for that
Less felt recoil especially on the 96please explain how this RSA / piston (whatever that means) improves the 92 action. This is possibly the most heavily refined handgun on earth and I’m eager to hear…
if you want the cx4 storm fixed, send it to Sierra Papa in Portland OR.
Less felt recoil especially on the 96
Faster return to target even faster on the 92x performance due to weight of the gun.
Smoother shooting than a langdon or wilson counterpart.
Perfects the 92x performance.
Ive shot them all back to back
My modded 92 vs langdon vs wilson vs 92x performance.
Only the 92x beat it due to sheer weight.
We also swapped in the piece to each one and each gun got better on target results.
I also did trigger springs and the typical d spring.
The last big difference was the wilson short reach trigger.
Ive had multiple people shoot my 96 and they all return back saying it feels like 9mm
Truth be told it probably does make the recoil /feel/ different but that doesn't mean that the energy levels expressed by the gun or any different because you can't defeat physics....its called placebo effect and it’s powerful
i suggest learning more about the locking block design and the problems with boosting recoil spring strength, as the locking lug will take an unnecessary beating.
all of this clown work on a 92 is fine until one starts running high rounds counts otherwise known as actually shooting the pistol, then the effects of retarded mods take their toll on the mechanics.
—
the solution for the 96 is to sell it and get a 92. For tards who just have to shoot 40 Beretta has kept the 96A1 in production, which has a thicker frame a la 92A1. Again Beretta has already solved whatever problems you may think need solving.
