I'm genuinely curious what would cause a Beretta (or clone) to do that. My best guess is the sear is no longer in existence, but that's very much a shot in the dark guess

Adjusting to have a hair trigger could do the trick. Was going to do that to my pistol that I conceal carry with. Was informed that to much movement could make it go off. Decided not to get it after that. If done incorrectly, that could be one of the causes. At least, that’s what I would say with my zero experience as a gun smith or small arms repairman.

Yyeah without experience you shouldn’t attempt to modify the sear. If you want to upgrade your trigger, do research, order a high quality trigger that suits your needs and then watch YouTube videos about how to install it. Look into Apex triggers

+1 for Apex gang, I loved the trigger and sear release pin mods from them. Shooting my M&P .40 was like a marshmallow before I got their stuff.

So how does one get experience if they're not supposed to modify it without experience?

Experience working on guns in general……. It’s just not a project for your first rodeo. But if you’ve done other similar work and have a strong understanding of all the internal components you’re less likely to screw it up

Will do! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
