Using a hook or something, pull out the factory mainspring. Cock the hammer and remove the backstrap plug. Drive out the silver pin under the backstrap. Take the slide off the gun – not actually necessary, but it makes everything a wee bit safer. I once shot a guide rod out of a 92FS hard enough to break a plate, and if you’ve seen my Ruger GP100 Trigger Job video you know that I don’t always get along well with springs.Īctually changing the spring on the Storm is fairly easy. Whenever attempting a new procedure on a firearm, I’ve found it’s best to order a few redundant parts just in case I decide to send one flying across the room. After reading reports of other shooters swapping the D springs from Cougars into their Px4 Storms, I decided to give it a try.Īfter discovering that Brownells stocks D springs for Beretta Cougars, I ordered…several. The Cougar guns never really caught on, but importantly for our purposes, they did make a 8000 D series.
However, there’s a possible solution, and that lies in the spiritual predecessor to the Storm: the Beretta 8000 series. It doesn’t matter if you get a G, F, D, or C model – same mainspring in a Storm.
WHAT IS BERETTA D SPRING SERIES
However, what if it was possible to make the Storm’s trigger even better?īeretta afficionados have long known that the quickest way to improve the trigger pull on a Beretta 92/M9 series gun is to pull the factory mainspring and replacing it with one of the springs from the DAO Beretta 92, referred to as “the D spring.” That plan doesn’t work on a Px4 Storm, because all of the models share the same mainspring.
It’s also a very easy gun to shoot, with a pleasant recoil impulse and an excellent DA/SA trigger right out of the box. It is a very nice gun, chambered in 9mm, and I think it just looks great.
