Gutting an old gun and rebuilding it from the inside out is a pretty cool project. We didn’t go this route, but there’s no extra charge for it.
#BERETTA M9 UPGRADES MOD#
This doesn’t make any noticeable change to function, but we liked the aesthetic.įor those interested, the Mod 5 package includes an additional option to bob the hammer as well as the barrel. Finally, Robar’s smiths cut and re-crowned the barrel so that it sits flush with the slide. We selected desert tan, with a set of matching thin panel grips from VZ Grips. Unlike NP3, PolyT2 is available in an array of colors. Options for both a nose bob, as seen here, and a hammer job, which we skipped. We chose the latter - an epoxy-based finish that’s also impregnated with Teflon. But the Mod 5 package includes a complete exterior refinish as well.Ĭustomers have the option of getting the frame and slide finished in NP3, Roguard, or PolyT2. We already discussed Robar’s NP3 coating and the functional benefits it offers when applied to the right parts.

While internal parts are what make the gun function exactly how you want, the outside is what the shooter actually interacts with.
#BERETTA M9 UPGRADES MANUAL#
This conversion, paired with the LTT trigger job, gives you a silky double action that not only runs more quickly than the stock trigger but also leaves the manual of arms greatly simplified. When you need to go to work, draw and press through the now-buttery-smooth double-action first stroke. Chamber a round, drop the hammer, holster. In the author’s opinion, there’s absolutely nothing whatsoever even remotely redeemable about this safety configuration.īy comparison, the Beretta 92 G is equipped with simple spring-loaded de-cocking levers. Putting the pistol on safe automatically de-cocks it. The plastic guide rod and trigger shoe were also replaced with steel counterparts.Īlso, the pistol cannot be run cocked-and-locked in single-action mode. That is to say that the lever must be flipped upward to be in the “fire” position and flipped down to be in the “safe” position. Mechanically, the safety’s function is inverted from what most folks would consider “normal”’ function. The lever itself is mounted as high on the slide as physically possible, directly flanking the rear sight notch. The original Beretta 92FS comes equipped with one of the most awkward safety systems we’ve had the misfortune of being ordered to carry into combat. The final major internal change that comes with the Mod 5 package is what’s commonly called the “G conversion.”
#BERETTA M9 UPGRADES UPGRADE#
With Robar’s Mod 5 upgrade package, NP3 plating is used on the barrel, trigger, hammer, mag release, slide release, lanyard loop, grip screws, and up to three magazines.

Not to mention that our experience shows that NP3-coated parts can usually be wiped clean by a dry rag even after high-round-count training.

Metal parts coated in NP3 sliding against each other results in an incredibly smooth, gliding sensation when running the gun. The inclusion of Teflon in the chemical makeup also adds an inherent dry lubricity regardless of how much or what kind of liquid lubricant you use as part of your maintenance plan. Part of the upgrade process included swapping the safety for a dedicated cocking lever.
