I do work on Glocks a lot! My adventures in disassembling HK pistols has been interesting. ? I used to carry a 1911, a stainless Ed Brown Kobra Carry. No matter what I did, I couldn’t shoot it for shit.

You always have something of quality to share, this time a nice diversion into the finer points of the Beretta pistols. Anytime you want to expand on M1 Garands, Smith and Wesson revolvers or Custom 1911s, along with SIG/ Sauer, HK, and Glock Pistols, please feel free. Thanks SD!

Agreed. I’ve worked on a lot of Beretta 9x pistols. Used to carry a 92G Elite II on duty. Lot of work with Ernest Langdon back at the beginning of LTT. The factory trigger springs were always crap and Wolff made a solid replacement that improved the trigger. The hammer springs were usually swapped out with the D model spring.

I'm fairly certain it's gonna get better with time as it breaks in more. Just a minor annoyance right now. Guess I'm just not one of the lucky guys that got the runs right out the box guns. But t least it's black and not blue ?

The issue with light main springs is they might not have the energy to reliably chamber a round. The carrier can hang up with a round on the elevator and it might not have the energy to force the round into the chamber. As you get close to the edge of function, things like improper stance can cause it to fail. The user then usually has to slap the bolt handle forward to get it into battery.

I think some people just get unlucky. My M4 ran light loads without any issue from day 1, but I've read about a lot of people experiencing what you are. Because mine runs fine, I never tried a lighter spring. My only small suggestion would be to also make certain you have a good shooting stance. A weak shooting stance might throw you back just enough to not give the light loads enough recoil. Your stance might be perfect, I'm not assuming anything. But just wanted to put it out there just in case. Hopefully someone else here will be able to speak on lighter springs.

We been seeing a lot of Benelli m4 clones coming out. I was able to get my hands on the adjustable stock clone. It was about $120 or so. With that in mind you are getting a lot, a complete recoil tube with everything in it, pistol grip and the adjustable stock. Of course for $120 it will be nowhere near the quality of a real benelli. Here’s what I found out when comparing it to my Benelli made adjustable stock . The recoil tube appears to be aluminum whereas the m4 is I believe steel. The clone tube looks to be a bit longer , I’m didn’t test it but I think the clone tube would fit the m4 , I think that because the locking nut from the clone fits the m4 tube.The clone is almost entirely made out of plastic where as the benelli is mostly metal. The clone pistol grip is almost an exact copy however it will not fit securely on a m4 as it has a gap from the grip to the trigger housing. The adjustment latch is all plastic and has two arms that push a metal bar up to adjust the length, I’ve noticed this is a weak design and when I took out the bar I can see the plastic is already deforming (see pic) I wouldn’t trust it to last a long time . If you’re planning to put this on your Benelli m4, don’t . You would be better of with whatever Benelli stock you have on now. This clone stock belongs on a clone.

looks like a $120 or so down the drain that could have gone towards a real one..
