I bought an M9A3 Black a few years ago. It's HUGE, but I absolutely love it. It's crazy accurate and so soft shooting. I did add the Wilson Combat recoil spring guide rod and flat wire recoil spring. Aside from that, it's stock. The Beretta sand-resistant mags that come with it are impeccable.

If you really want to feel an improvement that's very cheap, buy one of the lighter hammer springs. A 14# will make a big difference that will still pop any primer you could find (except some of the rusted out Russian crap).

DanH, I did end up changing the spring and you are correct, it makes a world of difference. The stock D spring is good but I went with this one instead.
Wilson Combat Beretta 92/96 Hammer Spring, Chrome Silicon 12lb. I will be testing to make sure I get a good strike on the primers. But DA pull now is 6lbs. 12 ounces. Very smooth trigger action.

Took the M9A3 out today to test the new hammer spring. Happy to report no malfunctions. Trigger is very smooth and reminds me of a good revolver trigger. Love it.

The M9A3 was one of the nicest suppressor hosts I had. I regret letting go of the one I had. It and a standard 92fs are on my list of guns to own again. The 92 is an outstanding platform. I say this as someone who carries primarily striker fired polymer framed pistols: I have a lot of love for the 92 series, the Sig P series guns, and the 1911 platform. They are all very accurate and a pleasure to shoot.

If you get the chance to try out or handle a Langdon Tactical Technology Beretta 92, please do so. It will change your opinion of the platform for the better. LTT Elite Rules!
