It is very easy to make an fs into a D functionally. Just remove the sear, sear pin, and sear spring. But you still have the fs levers on the slide and I don't think you can go to the one piece firing pin.

Not not really. W/ a skeleton hammer a 12# hammer spring will ignite most ammo. Apparently w/ the D one piece firing pin you can get away w/ an 11# hammer spring.
This may or may not apply to the 92, but I found that to reliably ignite hard-primer ammo like Winchester NATO-spec stuff, I needed the next heavier weight spring in my PX4 D.
Agreed. In my IDPA 92 I run an NP3 TJIB, a skeleton hammer, and a 12# spring and I shoot either Federal or CCI Independence aluminum ammo only. In our defense 92s w/ skeleton hammer I run 13#. The old Centurian, which still has the stock solid hammer to maintain it's old school look, gets a 14# spring. I have a a PX4c that I put a D spring in and it's fine but that is all I have tried. Ernest says you can run an 11#, I think because the geometry is a little different from a 92 but you need to be careful w/ ammo. He did his 50,000 rnd test w/ a 12# IRRC.

It would depend on what you wanted for a slide. The first D model guns that Beretta made were DS basically. They had normal 92FS safety levers but a spurless hammer and no sear. Making a 92FS into a double action only gun is as simple as taking the sear out, but.... it would not be a true D model without the slick/no safety slide, spurless hammer, 16# hammer spring, and the bushing that replaces the decocking lever in the frame.
If you wanted to make a gun Double Action only without changing the slide, I would recommend at least getting a D model spurless hammer. Then it is just a matter of taking the sear out and replacing the frame decoking lever with some kind of spacer. The decocking lever just kind of flops around in there when no sear is in place.

Some Show and Tell......my 92D Centurion. I sent this to EL for trigger work, he called about something after he had it on his bench and I asked him how it turned out....Ernest " just like a well tuned K frame". What a sweet shooting DA.
Nice grips too !

Hey, can I play, too? 92D Centurion w/ TJIAB, a 20-shot K-frame is not too shabby. My most recent ex kept it close when I wasn’t around, and I think it’ll end up as a Christmas present for my sister.
Those Langdon parts are fan-tastic in this blaster. Nothing else dry-fires like this piece.

Per the PF Code of Conduct, I have a commercial interest in the StreakTM product as sold by Ammo, Inc.
LTT posted that this was NOT going to be a thing. One off. Hugely disappointed. Business is business though. Suppose the demand is not there.
Oh yeah, I understand his point, and Beretta's point. They have to make money, and I am glad they are both making a good product.
I'll survive.
Though I am happy to know a 92 DAO can be created from current production guns.
