Thats the pistol I originally wanted... Figured since the rest of my Berettas were in FS configuration, I'd build my own version of it. Great looking gun!Quote:

It was indeed slick as kitten.Quote:

As a cop, I could get standard-capacity mags......I just couldn't kittening afford them! And, it wasn't worth the hassle for only one round.

Full size frame with a 92D Centurion slide being converted to Single Action Only using Billennium frame safety components. Machinist sent me this picture today. Hopefully by tomorrow evening the project will be ready to head home :cool:
Anyone reversed a mag catch on these and are there tricks to make it more user friendly that way?
I'd like to keep a manual of arms similar to one of P30, but I admit I find dropping the mag with trigger finger on a Beretta ain't easy, that spring is stiff.
I remove the assembly and clip half a coil at a time, reassemble and test. Alternately you could go to an oversized mag release which isn't so oversized when you compare it to a Sig Sauer release.Quote:

Makes sense, thanks for the tip.
Yes that part of my reason as well.Quote:

Now I would like to go back to 9mm because of the good bullets like HST etc! Plus less recoil.
So would I......but agency I'm with now only authorizes Glock 22/23/27. Any move to 9mm would be strictly training or HD, until policy changes or retirement. :)Quote:

"David B." posted a lot of nice pictures of Josh's conversions on http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.p...92G-conversion
I figured "what the hell, may as well": I bought a 92FS Compact to have it converted to 92G by Josh at Allegheny Gun Works (AGW) - this was my first time dealing with him.
Josh did some not-too-crazy-but-pretty-cool trick stuff to the pistol: Trigger job with speed bump and DAO contoured hammer. (I'll post some pictures on the above link...)
I ran ~hundred rounds at when I first got it back, while trying to get the right height Novak sight, then ran another ~100 through it after I resprung with a lighter recoil spring. Noting to report yet... Shoots like all the other Berettas I've got: well.

I've been practicing from AIWB using the Blade-Tech Nano - the draw is getting there, but I think I'm going to have to remove a bit of the sweat guard since it hangs up my thumb sometimes. Running ~1.4s to the first shot on the FAST drill.

I like it... I'm used to these guns now and I'd like to continue to use 'em. Compact isn't much wider than the glock I used to AIWB on occasion (Chicago and all that...)
