I picked this gun up about a week ago and thought I would share my thoughts and pics.
The 92D Centurion is the little brother of the 92D, which is the double action only version of the 92FS. It's about an inch shorter in overall length than the FS, with the same grip length. The D is a true DAO, with no safety or de-cocker to deal with. The hammer is bobbed and trimmed flush with the back of the slide.
The trigger is excellent! It's the best out of the box DA trigger I've ever tried. I've dry fired it over the last week and IMO if you can't shoot this DA trigger without modifications, you simply can't shoot a DA trigger. It's that good.
I love the finish on this gun. There are dings, scratches, and holster wear, just the way a gun should be. It's perfect.
This one came with Trijicon night sights. 1995 vintage. They still have a faint glow, which is impressive after 20 years.
The stubby D hammer at full arc.
Hammer down. No safety or decocker to mess with...
It doesn't appear to have been shot much....I'll fix that.
Trigger at reset.
Reset on my Elite II.
Size compared to my Elite II.
This one has a captive recoil spring assembly. There is a pin in the guide rod which holds the recoil spring onto the rod. Also, the recoil spring seems very light. Much lighter than my other Centurion. I replaced it with a brand new Centurion recoil spring. The old one was quite compressed, and the slide now takes much more force to manipulate. I really like the captive spring pin on the guide rod. It take a little bit of pressure to remove the old spring and pop the new one back on, but I think it's a good little feature that probably saved a lot of springs from being launched into orbit.
I'll be putting this pistol through the 2000 round challenge and will report back in this thread with my results.
