Hey Guys,
I got my first Handgun for Christmas...yay!...actually a little before Christmas but close enough...lol. It is a Girsan Yavuz 16 basically a Turkish Beretta, I have been google searching for replacement parts such as Springs,Guide Rod and the smaller parts that may wear or break down the road...I always oil and grease my Firearms well and keep them clean but still things can break and from what I have read the Beretta parts are completely compatible with the Girsan....just wondering if you guys know Canadian dealers that sell these replacement parts as most of my searching has turned up only US sites.
Thanks
 
Now, if your Girsan is like my Girsan, you probably won't be buying too many parts. I have the INOX with rail 4.9. My trigger pulls are pretty smooth and about 8.5 DA and 4 SA. So I don't know if the D spring will make it even less or if it would stay the same, but from what I understand, all of the Beretta parts can be used. As you may know, the Beretta replaced the 1911 as the "service" pistol so there are lots of parts available in the USA. Just like you, I haven't heard of any places that stock Beretta parts in Canada, but I really have not been looking to hard, except for a barrel bushing.

For parts less than $100 Brownell's is a good source for gun parts. Beretta USA may also be good for exporting. The problems happen when US shops do not have an export permit; most do not. Barrels may be a PITA, but it shouldn't be a show-stopper for a company that is familiar with the paper-work. There is a special exemption for up to $500 in parts for Canadians, but it requires more paperwork. Of course you can always use a US FFL (exporter) for nearly any part or cost, but expect to pay through the nose for the service. Some charge $100-$200 for the first line on the document, then lesser amounts for the next line item. A few others will charge substantially less, depending on the work involved and documentation. There have been a few horror stories of done-in-good-will exported parts requiring $2500 export permits and $250 permit fees when stopped by US Customs outbound.

Just like the Beretta 92, you will find it will be very accurate, then at times not so accurate, then accurate again. This can be due to the breech/barrel lock-up and the fact there is nothing holding the muzzle of the barrel in the slide. There are a few fixes for this, but you would really need to decide on whether you want it as a fun gun or a target driver. There are conical barrel bushings available, but that would require a new barrel or having your barrel machined to accept the modification. You pretty much can not send your barrel to the USA and expect it to be returned without great amounts of paperwork and cash. You could also modify the slide with a SS bushing for about $15. Depending on the slide and bushing, you may need some machining to make this fit as well, but it is much less than doing the barrel style as the gunsmith still has to modify the slide to accept the conical barrel bushing of the other type. Of course I will say there is no need for most people to even consider this type of modification.

Whatever you do, do not get the Pro-mags. Use only Beretta or Mec-Gar. The first time I put a ProMag in the slide lock got jammed under the release notch! There is too much side to side play with the bullet rest in the magazines and it can cause the slide release to get caught. It will be a PITA to free it with potential damage to the gun or mag.

Thank You twoicebergs,
Very valuable Information and very helpful, most of the parts I would be looking for would be under $100.00 like springs or the small pins at least I know where to go in the event of a breakage or to replace a worn out part...I am new to the Handgun World so I am not sure how often parts break or wear. I am still waiting for my LTATT and Registration Certificate to come in the mail before I can take it to the Range...really looking forward to some Range time with it....here is a pic of my new addition.

There is no need for barrel bushings or anything else on the 92 unless you want to ring match grade accuracy out of your gun. I have no idea where you got the idea that:

"Just like the Beretta 92, you will find it will be very accurate, then at times not so accurate, then accurate again.

It's simply not true. Each gun will perform within it's specific performance envelope. It doesn't magically get accurate and then not. More often than not that's an excuse the operator uses to hide his own lack of consistency.
 
you won't need to replace the guide rod. The Turkish guide rod is steel, whereas the Italian is plastic(as is its trigger).

The D model hammer spring is a good upgrade for the double action trigger pull.

I put on nice Beretta wood grips as those plastic ones that it came with are not all that great looking in my opinion. Beretta hex head grip screws finish it off nicely.
 
NP ordering from Brownell's i have done it many time. The first item to put in your shopping cart will be the "D" spring, will decrease your DA and SA pull considerably.

Enjoy the Girsan and congrats!
 
i changed the grip to the beretta walnut grip... almost a perfect fit... had to dremel 1/32 off one hole
looks very nice...ill post pics of it on the girsan later
broke my disassembly lever after 200 rounds !! so i have to replace this...
ill make a 99$ order at brownells while at it

those are the grips

It has been quite accurate and better than the design spec most of the time. The first time I shot it I had 6 within an 1 1/2" at 10m. I thought it was me as well, until I put it of the gun rest. Maybe it was the new ammo I used for 2 mags, but I still get the odd flier that is not a flinch or pull. It still is very accurate, but not consistently as accurate as my CZ clone. I've been doing this for 40 years even though I am a newb here and I am very aware of when I am the cause. Other shooters have experienced the same as me and there is a reason for the barrel to rail enhancements. I would love it to be just me!

If you or anyone else with a Girsan can measure the trigger pulls that would give a good cross-section of what we have before and after any mods.

Same goes for the recoil spring. Will the 13 lb be looser or tighter? I haven't fired an original Beretta 92FS in many years, so I can't comment on what I remember however, compared to the CZ clone, the Girsan racks very easily. My wife can easily rack this one but she can't do it on the other.
 
Wow..Those Beretta grips look sweet! Hammer Spring D and Recoil Spring is now on my order list...Brownells has a lot of parts for the Beretta and I noticed on their site about parts over 100.00 require documents...thanks Guys for all the info, I will give a range report on my Girsan in the New Year once I can take it to the Range.
 
Brownells, Numrich in the US...all Beretta parts can be purchased, with paperwork being required for barrels and such.

Wolverine Supplies in Canada. E-mail them a list with part numbers, and they'll get you what you're looking for.

Brignoli Armi in Italy. They ship to Canada no problem.
 
I recently ordered my parts from Brownells. Lost of things are out of stock, always, also, even if in stock - could disappear before they ship. Happen to me on a short reach trigger replacement, on back order now.
 
brownells is great for shipping parts under 100 as said before. also i do reccommend the d spring on it. Makes a bit of a difference in the trigger pull. I personally put beretta grips on mine too cause of the looks.

Thanks Strider007,
I have just bookmarked all those websites.

No problem, brother...

I bought my first Beretta about 10 years ago, and went on the same "parts hunt." Racked myself right out trying to source out dealers/vendors that would ship to Canada. Other than our own Wolverine Supplies, those other three internationals always had everything that I was looking for...and then some. Enjoy, man...if you need any other Beretta info, just shoot me a PM.
