This nose piece produces 30 to 50 percent tighter groups in most pistols of the Beretta and Taurus 92. Works to provide a solid accurizing bushing for the barrel; Gun Tests conducted their own test of before and after installation. |

I wonder if Mr. Joe Average can drill those holes for the supplied screws. Sounds like a trip to a gunsmith or some other sort of professional would be required?
Good idea, though. Notice he even has springs inserted to supply constant tenson. I guess that's gonna mar the underside of the barrel, but who cares if you gain accuracy.
If I had a Beretta or Taurus, I'd get one.

Since he will do the installation for you for $39 plus shipping, I think I'd rather have him do it. Don't forget that not only do you have to drill it, but you have to tap it as well. Don't know about you, but I don't have a good way for clamping the slide to my drill press to drill on the end of it. I think if I had one, I'd let him do it.
(I do have the steel version, but so far the barrel has remained tight. I don't shoot it much because it isn't one of my favorites).
Do you think Jack Weigand could come up with something to improve the accuracy of my Jennings?
Incidentally, this 92 sloppy barrel issue has been a complaint of mine for a long time when I've picked these guns up and found out theat even when they were in battery, I could move the end of the barrel all around.

TMan; Jack Weigand has developed many innovative improvements and tools for the handgun industry; He also teaches gunsmithing courses. I'm not sure if his schedule allows for him to do much gunsmithing work at this time, but considering the excellent work he performs for his price, I would give him a call.
Installing this part would be a very simple procedure for most gun smiths, especially one more familiar with the Beretta 92; I would look locally for a Smith to save on the shipping charges of the gun. |

Am I missing something? I thought the nosepiece would come with the holes already drilled and countersunk. All you would have to do is drill and tap the slide.
I don't think I'm going to do this. I have the steel version, and I don't know how it would look, and I'm more or less satisfied with the accuracy. I don't expect the gun to be as accurate as the P210, X-Five, or S&W 952.

That's basically it. This is from the Gun Tests article: He charges $59.95 for the nosepiece, and $39 for installing it. Weigand performs the work in a day, and even during the UPS strike, we were able to ship the gun to him, get the mod done, and have the gun back for retesting in 10 days. |

Patrick Sweeny has a chapter in one of his books dedicated to tweaking the Baretta, he makes mention of the nosepiece as well. Also some new grips, barrel, trigger, are shown, and a .22 conversion for them. A
The book also has a chapter on Glocks, and 2 for the 1911. Some pretty decent info on revolvers...If I currently had one..
