Any Beretta gurus that can help?
Howdy,
Well I finally got some time to take my Beretta out back and run some rounds threw it..
My problem being or maybe its just me, I'm so used to the S&W 3rd gen platform of the DA/SA the Beretta feels off to me...
Its a Wilson Combat 92g centurion tactical... what I noticed is the first DA pull is Smoot no hang-up great DA pull.... BANG! First shot goes off I hold trigger to rear and proceed forward for the SA reset, only I feel nothing no click no reset no nothing, I let the trigger travel all the way foward and assume it has reset.... so I pull the trigger back an BOOM gun goes off...
This happened for all the 90 or so SA shots..
Is it me? The gun? Is the "sear" screwed up whats wrong? Send it back to Wilson? It has the duty action job and I experienced 2 light primer strikes out of the 100 I ran(standard CCI Spp).
Don't know enough to take the gun apart and look at internals, tho I'm sure I could...
Any help would be great or advice....
Thanks Erik

I would check w these guys:
Beretta Forum - Powered by vBulletin
Beretta forum is very similar to this one, its very active , a wide variety of frequent contributors and some really knowledgeable folks... good people
pursuant to your experience, something appears to be off. Specifically since you have a WC 92.....(that's the Cadillac)
I own a 92FS and have prob 10k+ rounds thru it , and it has run like a champ.

Can't be certain without the pistol in hand, but odds are it's your technique.
From your description, you're riding the reset, which isn't what you want to do in single action; you should be letting off the trigger (as in not being in tactile contact with it) just a touch more than is necessary for reset, then proceeding to the next pull. Not a slap, per se, but with short, light single-action resets you don't want to ride the trigger.
Making sure the weapon is cleared and safe, how does single-action reset behave in dry-fire? Can you feel or hear any indication of reset? Haven't been on a tuned 92 this year but if memory serves there's a (very) little tactile feedback at reset, but you can hear it happen.

I just got out my Beretta 92FS. It's about 25 years old and the only modification to the trigger was a Wolff trigger conversion unit, standard power (i.e., their "Border Patrol" trigger return spring module).
Dry-firing, I noticed that the SA reset doesn't "click" until the trigger is nearly fully released, then there's some take-up before hitting "the wall." Is this similar to what you experience?
Personally, I don't "ride the reset" on any gun as I wouldn't trust it under stress. Letting the trigger go fully forward, while maintaining contact, ensures it resets for follow-up shots.

I understand riding the reset yes, I was merely using that as an exercise to find the reset to which I cannot feel..
Gun has about 400 rounds since new.

You have a gun that doesn't have a tactile reset. It happens with some designs. Better that than a fake reset.

Trigger is very different on the Berettas, long d/a so the reset is something you get used to. That's a top-o-the-line item, very nice. I like the Centurion.

I'm not a Beretta expert by any means, as my working guns have always been Sigs, Glocks or 1911's. That said, I have a Wilson Brigadier and I can feel and hear (during dry fire) the reset just as you expect and don't seem to be getting. I'm not sure what that means. I'll be following this thread for sure, to see the result. Is it unique to some Beretta's or indicative of an issue with the sear/etc.? ...

Every 92 I have I can feel and hear the reset. I find the reset on the 92 and a classic P series DA/SA Sig to pretty much be the same.
