I have a dan Wesson specialist 45acp that I absolutely love. I also own a beretta 92A1 9mm, and its completely stock. i'm surgically precise with both, and I really hold them both as my favorites. im thinkin of sending out my beretta to Wilson combat when I ETS out of the military.
If you are "surgically precise" why on earth would you have someone work on it? The only firearm I ever owned that was really accurate out of the box was a Ruger 6in 22mag revolver. It was so accurate I would never have even considered letting someone work on it. It loved 1 particular manufacturers ammo and I never changed.
there are some things that would make the beretta better. i'd like to have a lighter trigger, a metal fluted spring rod, a match grade barrel, and a better protective coating. new grips would be nice too simply for aesthetics. Wilson combat does amazing work, although I hate their sights. at the very least, I think it could lose a couple pounds off the trigger and be great

Just as a personal thought I would leave the barrel alone because it sounds like you have a gem. Trigger pull and stocks are, however, almost mandatory on a Beretta.

I wouldn't really consider any work on it to be mandatory. she's just a little sensitive to mistakes in the fundamentals of marksmanship. that being said, the beretta makes for outstanding practice in honing your skills. if you pull the trigger just a little bit wrong, she'll let ya know. maybe im just used to it
I reload and shoot quite a bit not much as I used to but on average we put a lot of rounds downrange. When I reload for a new gun. I start out in the middle of the length recommendations and work my way around until I find the length that gun wants or likes. Then its just a matter of powder and round size. There is a faster way. Google around and you will find it. Store bought rounds are all over for length and powder that's why so many people always say my guns like this brand or that.Makes it harder to stay accurate. Think about investing in some reloading equipment instead of gun work. Check how much accuracy improves. I am a fan of trigger work.
Favorite is this .32 Colt, fits my hand and is low profile for carrying. Kinda hefty for a smaller frame and the sights are small but she pulls and shoots great. It was my grandfathers, he paid $20.50 for it back in the 20's and didn't use it. Came across it a few years ago, been shooting it for a while and really like it. Got a Ruger SR9 and a single six .22 revolver so the wife can play too but this is my favorite. Maybe it's sentimental, lol.

That is a great looking little pocket pistol, especially for being 90 years old.

Appraisals were 90-95%, excellent condition. Looking at the price list of replacement parts in the box it came in it was a pretty good investment too, lol.
