Does anyone know of a place that inspects weapons for an annual check or something along those lines. More accurately the Berreta family of handguns. |

Any good gunsmith could check out a Beretta for you....or I'd suggest reading up on function tests and doing it yourself. Unless something is horribly wrong, visibly or trying to manually rack a slide on a Beretta, it should outlast you. I would, without much hesitation, just take mine out and shoot it. |

If we're talking about Beretta 92's or 96's you DO want to have it inspected. If you shoot enough rounds through either one you'll break a locking block. If you're in Central Ohio, I can point you in the right direction. Which model Beretta are you shooting and what's the approximate round count? |
| i had heard they replace the slide at 10.000 rds over at the air base.{ wright patt } you donot want a broken slide in the face. may i suggest buying a glock. i heard dayton pd had a glock with 40.000 rds through it. oh and gunsmiths are getting harder to find here in ohio |

I'm a certified Berretta Armorer. I attended Beretta Armorer's school at the Beretta Factory and spent four full days on Beretta 92's and 96's. There's not really a whole lot to keep an eye on as long as trigger return springs don't break. BUT... keep an eye on the locking block. Make sure the lugs of the locking block are still square with the slide and contact is even, square and full on both sides. Typically, one side will wear heavier than the other making one of the lugs take more stress than the other. If you don't catch it, you WILL break a locking block. I've seen 7 or 8 personally. A new locking block is $125 or so, so you want to try to save the one you have versus breaking it and buying a new one. |
