I had a desire to upgrade my Beretta M96FS in .40. It's too fat with my current prissy grips and the trigger reach is a little much for me. So I ordered a Wilson short reach trigger and some G10 ultra thin grips.

Doug said he'd like to see how the trigger swap went. Typically that is a cynical statement. It really means "I have looked into that and it looks difficult, you first". LOL Well I was a bit taken aback by all the little springs, the Beretta has many, many, hair-springs in it. One dude was using flat dental floss to help position one as the trigger bar is re-installed. However I watched another video with a Beretta Tech. having no trouble. I figure I will not discount any info until I get it done myself! But I see that I can likely pull it off easily.

BTW I did fix a headspace issue lately on a AKM 5.54. It did NOT end up going the way I had intended but I got it done. The only AKM with match grade fitted headspace around. lol I'll just never tell my technique in mixed company, ever!

are you using rolled up condoms as buffers again?

Are recoil buffers a good thing? Thinking mini-14 & 1911.

I have heard of slides cracking on this platform and later models seem to be reinforced in a critical area. However I’m shooting hundreds of rounds, not tens of thousands. My cast bullets are also easy on parts. It’s a big easy shooting pig.

Just plug and play stuff...

like the lightweight Colt Commander and the Star PD. Probably not a bad idea either for guns that are used in the combat games where you have to use top end loads. I use them in my AMT Longslide as I only shoot the hottest 45 ACP 230 grain ball ammo in it. In the several years I shot in the combat games I shot well over 70,000 rounds thru it (probably more as Kase used it for a couple of years shooting combat loads too). The gun is ported so the buffers might not be necessary but I use them anyway. The porting on a 1911 type frame just wasn't done back in '77 and '78 so my gunsmith at the time, Gary Case, did the porting on our milling machine.
