another gun

[diver682]

well shot grimsthorpe today  steady round to be honest   gun went fine  smooth to shoot  no trigger issues  , I shot 1/4 1/2   with eley superb 8s   , met a young chap shooting a 692  he was singing its praises     so far so good  ,    88/100   my mate gary top gun on our squad 90/100  ,    time will tell  !!

Glad you had a good day , 88-100 first time out is an excellent score . Good to hear that your happy with the gun and there was no issues with the trigger !

Meeting someone else who has the same gun must of given you confidence , especially as they highly rated it 

Stick with it and if you do have  a bad day remember its not the guns fault

Triggers do vary, it’s the nature of the beast. I was loaned a Blaser by EJC for a few weeks before buying mine and hated the heavy trigger. Much to my relief, the gun I purchased was WAY lighter. Supposed to all be the same I suspect. 

I've noticed the exact same thing with Blasers. Shot a virtually new F3 recently and couldn't believe how heavy the triggers were.

I did read the first post................

Well obviously not because he specifically asked: " love em   hate em  , anything I should watch out for etc ?"

And I guess you didn't read my post either where I specifically said: "and are thus subject to greater variation with things like the trigger pull. Maybe they don't all have heavy triggers but the 3 that I tried did"

The 692 handles well and shoots fine once you adjust to a heavy trigger pull. It's just that no one can explain why Beretta released a product with known issues with a feature that no one wanted anyway.

I'm not dissing the 692 as such and I'm sure they have their fans but the Gold E is a different animal. For a start they were built by trained gunsmiths in the custom shop alongside the DT10 (and the original 686E) and both the Gold E and the 686E had hand regulated triggers. The 692s however, are built in the main factory by assembly workers and are thus subject to greater variation with things like the trigger pull. Maybe they don't all have heavy triggers but the 3 that I tried did and it's a totally unnecessary characteristic which some find hard to get used to.

There must be some reason why people don't keep them very long and accept the hit on trade in.

1st quote , once you adjust to a heavy trigger pull ( your words ) ...........................from that you are implying all 692s have heavy trigger pulls 

2nd  quote , Maybe they don't all have heavy triggers ( your words )............................. and then all off a sudden your not sure
