Beretta 92fs gold plated parts?

[Balzer94]

I wanted to add some contrast to my beretta while trying to keep it factory parts. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy pieces such as the hammer and trigger parts gold plated, or if they knew anyone who does that type of work.

Also I'm looking into trying to lighten the trigger a bit. Any good tips on that?

Thanks in advance

I think this is a nice look.

This is an awesome look except that looks like the taurus 92fs. I just want the external "gadgets" gold. Aka the hammer trigger, trigger bar(?), mag release, takedown lever, safety, etc

Thanks, but of course the hammer would be out of stock

Gold finish is not gold plated. If you are going to go pimp you want the goods.

Why dont you just fill the existing engraving (e.g., Beretta), I have been thinking of trying this on one of Uberti's photo engraved guns.

ehh the np3 looks better and has a more durable finish anyway...ya think about contrast with that? Could always ship some things off to get the ol' exo treatment too...

A lot of Beretta owners like to replace the factory 92FS mainspring with a "D" spring, i.e. a mainspring made for the Beretta 92D. Gives you a lighter double-action trigger pull.

Jim bob that's a good Idea but idk if id trust myself with trying to do inlays.

And the np3 is hard to see on my iPhone, is that like a chrome finish?

Go big or go home:

Or go INOX, that's hot too.

Fine I'll go home

I'm trying to keep this fairly cheap while maintaining the reliability of the 92fs. I'm sure that golden gun is reliable but it's not cheap at all

It looks like it should be available in 38 Super.

Don't plate anything unless you don't intend to shoot it. Many plated finishes are fragile, and will not look very good after a few hundred rounds or even a good amount of handling. Oils, solvents and even the oils in your skin can affect the plating.

Just letting you know. If they're available, TiN-coated parts would be the best IMO. Many industrial cutters such as mill and lathe bits are coated with TiN, which has very good wear resistance. TiN is a yellowish gold color too.

If you go this route, I've used this kit before and can vouch for some great results. There's a reason that the Bonanza kit has been unchanged since the 70's... it works and looks good. It's is also much more durable than real gold inlay.
