I have been trying to get to a gunsmith to do this hammer exchange ever since I bought the Skeletonized Hammer almost 6 months ago;he said it would cost about $50 and would take around 4 days.....MAN !!! AM I GLAD I CAME BACK HERE !!! It took me literally 6 MINUTES to do this swap !!! You Guys ROCK !!!
My Italian made 92FS that I bought new around 2012 had a roll pin holding in the main spring cap. If you have a roll pin you need to hammer it out with a punch it won't fall out and you can't push it out. I got hung up on that step for quite a while thinking I was just too week to compress the spring properly. It would have saved me a lot of effort to see that mentioned somewhere. Otherwise, great video my 92 is now sporting a D spring and an Elite II hammer and other than that one step these were great instructions, cheers!
As a L/E Firearms Trainer and Armorer I have always found the P Beretta Family and their sales rep's and service people to be very friendly and attentive. Wish I could say the same about Sig Sauer!
wish my agency could say the samething about beretta. We switched to s&w when beretta le reps ignored our phone calls. Then failed to service our weapons after numerous problems.
+Jamal Mckenzie Never cared for polymer Pistols and I was sad to see that they discontinued Italian production of Cougar pistols. I do like the Glock and own a few. But the Px4 Storm is something I don't care for. 9mm is my caliber choice and most police dept's who use 40 cal pistols are reconsidering the use of 40.SW. 40 cal pistols (Steel,Alloy and Polymer) are breaking down due to the increase in operating pressure! I retired a few years ago and have not talked to the Beretta people (with the exception of a small circle.) so I can't vouch for your Dept's The NYPD has tested the S&W M&P line and the results are not good, Hope your job has luck with them!
Great instructional video. I had a little trouble removing my main spring pin. Even with main spring removed it was impossible to re insert by any means of finger pressure. Will take to local gun smith later to get it looked at.
Excellent video. I just received my skeletonized hammer in the mail last week. I appreciate you taking the time to tell the viewers WHY some thing needs to be done a certain way and WHY not to do certain things. (ex. Dry firing with the slide removed) Seeing you struggle with the main spring cap helps me understand what I can expect when I do install my new hammer. What size punch did you use? Even better, what size punch(es) should I get for working on my Beretta handguns? Is that hammer spring the one that some people choose to replace with a 'D spring' for a lighter DA trigger pull?
Will this hammer work on the 92X? I heard of some installing the LTT OPTB where it had to be fitted or left alone. The left alone was because da/sa worked fine with the slide on but without the slide trigger was dead.
I have a question I bought a 92fs inox it has the black controls on it are they made of plastic I am mostly concerned about the hammer a polymer hammer won't last long I couldn't image beretta would put a polymer hammer it won't last long
I can't seem to get the main spring pin out. Brand new gun (300 rounds). What am I doing wrong? Tried various amounts of pressure on spring. Could it be stuck or bent?
I have a Beretta 92S Italian version bought back in 1980ish. I tried to rep[lace my grips but the hammer pin seems to be sticking out just a bit and the new grips wont seat. Is this a known issue or does the pin always stick out a bit? my guess is about 1/8th of an inch.
do you need a new spring??? I saw another video with someone talking about a double action spring vs single action??? no clue... I just took apart my 92fs to see if I could do it and its pretty easy. just need a screwdriver flat head, and elbow grease to get it out.
So I changed the hammer and kept the old spring in there, but now the trigger is much harder to pull in double action and the hammer drops with more force. Everything was replaced the way it should so i'm concerned. Any suggestions or is that normal?
Did you make sure that the trigger spring was placed back on the top of trigger bar guide when you inserted trigger bar back through the trigger. . When the trigger bar is removed, the trigger spring drops and needs to be replace back on top when trigger bar is put back in place.. Using a minni flat head screw driver lift the trigger spring, insert the trigger bar rod thru the trigger. the spring will rest on top of rod, also when pushing bar in doing this you might hear a snap, no problem that just means your back in business If the spring is not set on top of trigger bar rod the trigger is very, very hard to pull in double action and might damage the pistol if your shooting with out trigger spring not set properly.
Improper clearing procedure. Only other criticism is the video would be far more instructive it you guys at Beretta would use macro photography. Presenter otherwise, as usual, did a good job.

+Darik Datta Yea, wish they wouldn't use the Roll Pin in the Italian made 92's they are a Pain In The Ass to remove!
Thank you so much. You saved me a lot of frustration man
In the italian roll pin versions that require hammering, do you still need to compress while hammering? This is so confusing to me.

+Jamal Mckenzie Jamel can you tell me which Beretta pistol model's your Dept used and what specific issues you guys experienced?
+GV889 Sorry for misspelling your name JAMAL!
we used px4 .40 we experienced slide lock, dead triggers and rusting issues.

Wow this was so much easier then I had anticipated. Great video.
Great instructional video. I had a little trouble removing my main spring pin. Even with main spring removed it was impossible to re insert by any means of finger pressure. Will take to local gun smith later to get it looked at.
Thanks Ben, I followed you instructions and installed the skeleton hammer on my 92A1. Very easy install just as you showed.
Just put one on my M9A1 using this vid. 5 min job. Great tutorial!
You have to ask Taurus.
LOL It was as if he knew I would make a smart ass comment about the removal of the grips! Well played sir, well played.
That's exactly what I needed. Thanks.

What is the size of the roll pin punch you where using. thanks
When check if the weapon is clear, always remove the magazine first, not rock the slide first, otherwise you could load a round into the chamber.
Well thank goodness you werent shot through your phone.
The hammer is always made of metal, regardless of its color.
Not close enough. Doesn't your camera have a zoom? Fill the frame, elbows touching the right and left frames. Can't see much as it is.
When dealing with novices the instruction "remove the slide and slide assembly" should probably include an explanation on how to do that step!
Will this hammer work on the 92X? I heard of some installing the LTT OPTB where it had to be fitted or left alone. The left alone was because da/sa worked fine with the slide on but without the slide trigger was dead.
I have a question I bought a 92fs inox it has the black controls on it are they made of plastic I am mostly concerned about the hammer a polymer hammer won't last long I couldn't image beretta would put a polymer hammer it won't last long
Is there a video on how to replace the Hammer Spring for the 92A1?
Is there any way to modify the Baretta 92 to eject to the left?
P.L.E.A.S.E!!! Can I use a beretta Billennium Trigger in a Beretta 92A1?
Looking to update my 96d to sa/da is there a variety of hammers that fit? Not sure, don’t know much about the options. Thanks
I can't seem to get the main spring pin out. Brand new gun (300 rounds). What am I doing wrong? Tried various amounts of pressure on spring. Could it be stuck or bent?
The pin you drove out at 2:00, is that a regular pin or roll pin? Thanks.

Diablowuff you don't need a new spring but people replace the spring with a d.spring
Thanks , Now a video on px4 storm removing trigger mechansim
Does changing hammers void the warranty?
So I changed the hammer and kept the old spring in there, but now the trigger is much harder to pull in double action and the hammer drops with more force.
Everything was replaced the way it should so i'm concerned.
Any suggestions or is that normal?

When the trigger bar is removed, the trigger spring drops and needs to be replace back on top when trigger bar is put back in place..
Using a minni flat head screw driver lift the trigger spring, insert the trigger bar rod thru the trigger. the spring will rest on top of rod, also when pushing bar in doing this you might hear a snap, no problem that just means your back in business
If the spring is not set on top of trigger bar rod the trigger is very, very hard to pull in double action and might damage the pistol if your shooting with out trigger spring not set properly.
thank you...
How do you take a hammerless 96 and put a hammer on it? Is it even possible? Please help as i hate this single action.
Is it okay to put a inox stainless steel hammer onto a black framed beretta 92fs?
Yeah you're good
I am not mechanical at all followed this and installed my hammer no problems
Does anyone know if this works with airsoft guns as well?
my 92fs c pin will not budge no matter how much pressure...lanyard loop wont budge either.
MadavTV it's most likely an Italian made 92fs with a roll pin. You'll have to hammer the pin out.
Does not show me a thing
Um, nice safety check at the beginning. I left after that. Derp.
bye Karen
