We used two drills to get our initial data points - the FAST drill and LTT’s own 6-in-5 drill. In order to collect some data on this point, we took LTT’s tactical pistol skills class with our bone-stock Beretta 92. But what good is it, actually? We previously mentioned that a customized pistol doesn’t inherently make you a better shooter.īut if you already have a firm grasp of the fundamentals and an effective training plan, these improvements can reduce the number of mechanical variables that must be overcome to make that perfect shot. Gutting an old gun and rebuilding it from the inside out is a pretty cool project. We didn’t go this route, but there’s no extra charge for it. This doesn’t make any noticeable change to function, but we liked the aesthetic.įor those interested, the Mod 5 package includes an additional option to bob the hammer as well as the barrel. Finally, Robar’s smiths cut and re-crowned the barrel so that it sits flush with the slide. We selected desert tan, with a set of matching thin panel grips from VZ Grips. Unlike NP3, PolyT2 is available in an array of colors. Options for both a nose bob, as seen here, and a hammer job, which we skipped. The lever itself is mounted as high on the slide as physically possible, directly flanking the rear sight notch. The original Beretta 92FS comes equipped with one of the most awkward safety systems we’ve had the misfortune of being ordered to carry into combat. The final major internal change that comes with the Mod 5 package is what’s commonly called the “G conversion.” With Robar’s Mod 5 upgrade package, NP3 plating is used on the barrel, trigger, hammer, mag release, slide release, lanyard loop, grip screws, and up to three magazines. Not to mention that our experience shows that NP3-coated parts can usually be wiped clean by a dry rag even after high-round-count training. Metal parts coated in NP3 sliding against each other results in an incredibly smooth, gliding sensation when running the gun. The inclusion of Teflon in the chemical makeup also adds an inherent dry lubricity regardless of how much or what kind of liquid lubricant you use as part of your maintenance plan.
Part of the upgrade process included swapping the safety for a dedicated cocking lever.
