The test gun I had belonged to Beretta, not to me. I’m used to heavy triggers, generally specifying around 4.5 pounds single-action in my pistols, so that didn’t bother me. My test Model 87 Target’s trigger was also quite smooth out of the box. It was the backlash I wanted to fix, and I wasn’t about to drill a hole through the frame of a pistol that belonged to Beretta, to install a set screw to act as a trigger stop. I joked with my buddy Jon Strayer, “I oughta take a piece of pencil eraser and duct tape it to the inside back of the trigger guard.”

The conversion unit, in place, duplicates all functions of the M9 barrel/slide assembly it has just replaced.

The rear sight of the Beretta .22 conversion unit appears to be the Italian LPA. It works extremely well.

Jon said, “I can do better. Be right back.” A short time later he returned with the test gun. He had taken a small piece of floor protector – the heavy fiber pads that adhere to the bottoms of things like table legs to keep them from scarring the floors they stand on – and applied it to the inside rear of the trigger guard.
