I've already received a couple of questions, so here's a good video that shows detail stripping of the Beretta 92:
When installing the new trigger bar, don't forget the little spring under it. It's an important little spring.

That is one great video TCinVA. Thanks for posting it.
That's the first time I'd seen a Beretta detail stripped. Man, there are a lot of little bits. When you tapped some of them out, they were so small, I almost thought it was carbon residue.
I haven't gotten all the way to the end yet, but do you list what size punches you use?
Looks like we may be getting closer to the M9A3 release...17 round PVD sand resistant magazines are available at Beretta.com. I'm somewhat ambivalent about these as the original 17 round Beretta magazines (originally for the 90-Two and standard for the 92A1) are not my favorites, having cracked the floor plate on one and not being able to source a replacement. Curious to see how these stack up against the Mec-Gar 18 round magazines, which remain my top choice.

It's really not too bad. The only bits I've never had out is the part where the two pins are driven out and the lever that lifts the firing pin block out and the ejector come out. The rest I have done. There's a couple parts that are more difficult, namely getting the spring for the single action sear back in, and the trigger return spring back over the trigger bar. Those both require a little patience. Also, F slides are noticeably easier than G slides. I only ever did 1 G slide. It wasn't my pistol, and the extra set of hands provided by the guns owner was very helpful.
Oh, I didn't make that video. That's likely an upload of some armorer video Beretta themselves made in the 90's.
As for punches, a good set of roll-pin punches is a good idea to have if you want to do any wrenching on guns. I bought this set from Amazon:

In the video the armorer was using what is obviously a specialized tool for the sear spring. I've been unable to ever find one, but it's something I would love to have.
