I still carry a 229 as a duty gun and 239 as an admin/off duty gun (both DAK...don't laugh). I replace the recoil springs at about 3000 rounds. I still have and still shoot the .40 229 that preceded the 9. My kid's duty gun was 229 until just recently; his agency said no more, so he got an M&P.
The P226 DAK I was issued was fine, besides it being in .357 SIG. A DAK is much preferred by me vs a LEM.
It’s understandable why people might not like it, but a P220 or P226 9mm DAK would be just fine by me.
I don't think I saw this thread yesterday, but this morning I rather impulsively bought a 92DXR off Gunbroker. Some people sleep walk. Maybe I read PF in my sleep. The gun shipped this afternoon. I should have it by Thursday. The only other DAO guns I have currently are a S&W 432PD and Model 64-5 (I think). I haven't shot the 64-5 much, as I didn't have a good stash of ammo for it before the shortage. I'm really looking forward to getting the 92DXR though.
I bet you’re going to like it. If you don’t end up liking it, you shouldn’t have any problem selling it on the forum.

"I bet I won't have any problem selling it on the forum if I don't like it," was literally the thought going through my mind when I clicked "buy now." I need to re-read that 92DXR thread now that I have one coming. My 92 Vertec has a Wilson trigger bar in it, and I can't remember what weight springs. If I could clone that DA pull into this DXR, I'll be quite happy. Every time I dry fire that pistol, I feel guilty for not shooting it more.
The general wisdom seems to be that on a 92D you can go with a hammer spring one pound lower than you can on a 92FS and maintain the same reliability. I think it’s because of the D’s one-piece firing pin. I have a Wilson trigger bar and one of their 12# chrome silicon springs in my 92DXR and the trigger pull might actually be nicer than my LTT with NP3 trigger job in a bag. The Wilson trigger bar increases the hammer arc in double action which adds to the reliability with the lighter springs. Mine hasn’t had issues touching off American primers. Next time I take it out I’m going to run a box of S&B through it to see how it does with tougher European primers.

The DXR is really nice. But I found the older 92Ds I have acquired even nicer in the trigger dept.
Read the thread before it gets here.
I was excited enough to be the OP for that thread, but I sent mine back to Bud's due to an angled front sight.
Still kinda thinking about picking up a D kit or two from EveryGunPart.

Not another dime.
Sounds easy enough to implement. I can't find a record of what I did to my Vertec anywhere except in the Beretta Picture thread! Looks like I went with the Wilson short reach trigger, but I left the stock trigger bar in the pistol. At least I wrote it down somewhere. I need to add that info to my pistol log...
That is quite a commitment to the 92D! An old 96D is the only Beretta DAO I've ever handled and that was for only a minute or so. The trigger on that pistol was absolutely amazing. I'll be shocked if the 92DXR is that good, but it could be a lot worse and still be pretty great.The DXR is really nice. But I found the older 92Ds I have acquired even nicer in the trigger dept.
Yep. That's my big concern. I know it's a gamble, but I think I'd regret it later if I passed it up.
