All this talk of Beretta Compacts got me thinking I needed a 92 again. I had a full size, but sold it years ago. I thought I'd try a Centurion. I found this one and it cleaned up nicely. From the serial number, it is a 1994.

I have always liked those. Very classy. Nice grab.


Because son, it is what you are supposed to do.

They are the sweet spot of the 92 Series. I’d never part with mine. Add the Elite II hammer & D spring for full effect if you already haven’t done so..

It has a Wolff replacement hammer spring. No new hammer yet.

I am considering Langdon's trigger kit in a bag.

My favorite handgun of all time, 92 or 96.

It's SOOOOO worth it.

A friend scored a M9A3 for $600 locally and it has a nice trigger from the factory, at least he thought it did until he pulled the trigger on my 92A1 w/TJIAB in it.

All of my 92s have one, it's THAT good.

Rhino, just curious how hard is it to install the TJIAB?

It's a lot easier than I thought. LTT and some others have videos on the process.

The first install took me about an hour to do, but I would watch a part of the video, do it, then watch the next part, etc, etc, going really slow. I also did a G-conversion in that time.

After that it's been about a 15-25 min job for subsequent TJIAB and G-conversions.

The 92 series is actually a lot easier to work on than you'd think by just looking at it. No harder than a SIG P220-229 series, maybe a tad easier?

What a beautiful pistol, thank you for sharing and thank you for posting that link. Approximately how much does that kit cost? I would look it up myself but I’m too scared that when I get to the page I’ll order one! I have convinced myself that I’m saving money for something special although I don’t know exactly what it is yet.

I added a Wilson hammer. It helps let off a bit, and improves reset. I'll add the Wilson trigger bar next and fit it myself. I enjoy a little WECSOG.

The Langdon kit is $165 and up depending on the hammer you want. It is pre-fit. You can get the parts more cheaply separately, but you have to fit the trigger bar. The difference is Langdon's work on the trigger bar.

It's probably been 20 years ago I bought a used 92FS, it's still one of my favorite pistols; crisp trigger and short reset. I don't know what kind of trigger job it has but I'm sure it has one and it's nice ...


If you really want something you'll find a way ...
... if you don't you'll find an excuse.

I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either Wink
