    The D spring will significantly lighten the feel of the gun in DA mode.

    I have not had the opportunity to try out a competition spring, although I have heard rumors (so take it with a grain of salt) that they can result in light-strikes when used in conjunction with certain ammo manufacturers.

    It will lighten it. I have one that was used for less than 200 rounds. I don't like it, even though the trigger is lighter. PM me if you want it, can meet at AGC.

    The 92FS has a 20# hammer spring and about a 12#DA /6#SA pull weight. The D model is DAO, usually no decocker/safety on the slide and a bobbed hammer, it uses a 16# hammer spring for around a 9# pull. It is probably the lightest spring that will keep the pistol reliable, although it still doesn't hit as hard as factory, and the lock time is slower, remedied if that is a concern with a lighter hammer. With the D-spring pull ends up about 9#DA / 5# SA, which is about ideal for a working gun, the trigger has a slight takeup to deactivate the internal safeties, but is smooth with a crisp break with little overtravel, really easy to shoot well. Lighter springs may drop weight further, but start to lose reliability quick, and even a D-spring has less margin of reliability as it wears over time. I put a D-spring in my M9 early in it's long life, and have never had a misfire over thousands of rounds, nice deep pin marks on all of them, so I trust it, but others may not be as lucky, so definitely test it if it is any more than a range gun. Grips definitely can improve the feel too, but other than that it's a solid, reliable pistol that is really easy and fun to shoot, despite being overlooked in favor of newer designs.
