Beretta 21a

Would some one be kind enough to provide complete disassembly/re-assembly instructions for the Beretta 21a?

I need to check the sear and reinstall the safety, safety plunger and small spring. Already checked YouTube my couple of NRA books and GB Forums. All I could find were field stripping for cleaning.

I checked the safety by having it on and pulling the trigger on a dummy round. With a fair amount, ok a lot, of pressure it fired!

Thanks,

Jim

    Does anyone have complete disassembly instructions. Ran searches on GB, Google and YouTube for an hour. All I could find was field stripping.

    I took the grips off for cleaning and found a rough area on the trigger bar(?) that I'd like to stone and polish. There didn't appear have any lube anywhere in the gun.

    After watching all of the videos showing FTFs and FTEs I want re-try some ammo and some new ammo. Might polish the ramp a bit too even though it doesn't seem to be the cause of the FTF & FTEs.

    No luck there. However, I took the risk and wiggled the trigger bar out. I'm good now.

    You Tube videos confirm the CCI MiniMags, Stingers and the newer Velocitors plus the Aquila brand. What stumps me is that Beretta recommends using standard velocity rounds but you have to figure out which ones by trial & error.

    Originally I had a rather small quantity of either some CCI MiniMags or Stingers. Not enough for a good test. Haven't been able to find any in stores and at the local show the dealers want 20 to 25 cents each. Ten - 15 cents each for HV Aquilas.

    Recently traded for a box Rem Yellow Jackets. Not as fast as the others but it's worth a try. Any trigger time is better than none, even if what you learn is disappointing and you can eliminate it.

    Mine likes Stingers. Never tried standard velocity in it.

    I traded a AR barrel for mine during the AR-15 panic. I have tons of bulk 22, and it would'nt shoot that. I paid 15.00 for 100 rounds of CCI Mini Mag and sure enough it was completely reliable with it. I paid 14.00 for 100 rds of Aguila Super Extra and again it was reliable. According to a video on Youtube its all about the strength of the case as the pistol has no extractor. I would like to try CCI's bulk ammo (blaser) and see if that works but I still cant find any of that.

    Saturday I got the Dremel tool, a pointed polishing, the appropriate polishing compound and polished the feed ramp. I was surprised at how nice it turned out. Bright and shiny and so easy! I'll be doing others now.

    Intended to shoot it today but it was way too rainy.

    Blasers will be included (I have about 400) and post again for Steve and the rest of GB
