Not really, Rob.
Just convinced my wife I already had a short-range weasel gun, and that now I needed a long-range weasel gun!

I don't care how you explained it, you still got a new 9mm SS Beretta! I'm shaking my fist at you right now!

Range report on my little 64, Dang straight shooter, had a few misfires though, Think its the light hammer spring I put in her though, anyone have any problems with Silver Bear ammo doing that,? I think if I got some name brand usa made stuff she would do just fine.. 10 yards hit the mark every time.. Sweet. :)

What weight spring did you go with? I put the lowest 17# spring in 4 of mine and they all worked fine. Didn't use Silver Bear but Wolf and WPA which should be pretty close as far as hardness of primers. No problems.

Then 2 weeks ago one gun developed intermittent FTFire with dented primers. Rounds generally fired second time in different gun but I decided to go up to the 18# hammer spring which most here say corrects the light-strike issue. While I was at it I changed the hammer springs in the other 3 guns to 18# also to head-off problems down the road. I figured I'd do it now instead of having possible light-strike issues develop later.

I used the lightest hammer spring wolf put out, I got the next one up, May just drop it in, Got a firing pin spring also.. Dunno if that would make any difference,Recoil spring just got put in, & Am looking at grips, Those on my list of to do on it..
Kinda wish to use as a carry gun, But want consistent performance .. For sure do not want a problem while in need.

Went with aim, got a flawless example. Put in wolf spring and carry it with a shtf brand hybrid leather/kydex holster I found on amazon. And load it with Hornady Critical Defense hp it's been doing real well for me, flat and confortable
