My 92FS locked up while firing with a can. I got the round ejected and checked for damage. Everything looked good on the pistol but the slide does not lock up flush with the frame. With the factory barrel it is still off but to a lessor degree. The slide is forward of the frame by 1/32 and more on the threaded barrel. I dont see any thing broken or worn badly. Has 5000 rounds through it. Does anyone know of a specific area I should be looking at. The locking block is OK. |

Sounds like maybe the barrel block? Take the barrel completely out & see if you can make the slide go where it's supposed to? Next, put the barrel in but w/o the recoil spring to give it pressure & check it. Note any problems & hopefully you're on the way to diagnosing the problem. Note: just use moderate hand pressure on the above, do NOT attempt to shoot it w/o the recoil spring!

Must be wear on the barrel. without the locking block the slide still is forward of the frame slightly. I've put a lot of rounds through this pistol, but not enough to wear it out yet. The initial lock up was probably ammo, but when I saw the slide not locking up in the right place I got a little worried. The only previous problem with it was the plastic recoil spring guide broke and i put in a metal one. |

Ask your question here...these guys bleed Beretta blue! www.berettaforum.net/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi This is not a good thing, and I would not shoot the pistol in this condition. If all else fails, send it back to Beretta! |

Are you sure this is new? I have an older 92F and the slide sits .020" forward of the frame when in battery, it has since the day I got it. I tried a new locking block and the slide mated up closer so I wrote it off as cosmetic. I still use the original locking block BTW. If you look at the frame where the disassembly latch is look at the backside for any damage or excess wear there, that's where the base of the locking block locks up at and "parks" the slide. Also just to be on the safe side, a Beretta armorer taught me this, hold the slide from your pinky (with no barrel) so it's hanging like a dinner bell then gently tap your metal guide rod against the slide , if it rings you're golden, if it thuds then your slide is cracked. |
