Beretta 92fs

jeffsfirearms
I have a beretta 92fs and i have problems when it tries to feed a round after shooting a round. The next round james as it comes out of the mag and tries to enter the chamber. It seems to happen when i use the after market mags i have for it. They are promag and usa mag. The factory ones work ok. Just so all the information is out there i am using CCI blazer 115 gr FMJ ammo. Am i the only one who has this problem?I also have a problem with the slid not staying open after the last shot is fired. the gun does it about 1 out of 5 times. It does not seem to matter witch mags i use it will not stay open and then sometimes i dryfire the gun with nothing in the chamber. The beretta is only a few months old and i bought it new i have only put about 1500 rounds into it.

    I recently purchased a 92 and I must say I am very happy with it. I did wonder however, if anyone has any experience adjusting the rear drift sites? No matter what, I shoot to the left consistently but I do not want to damage the sites trying to adjust them since I have not attempted it before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Jeff, I am afraid that drift adjustable means exactly that: You are going to have to tap the rear sight and move it in it's dove-tail mount in order to adjust it. You generally don't have to move it much to change the point of impact and remember that you move the rear sight in the direction that you want to point of impact to change. If you want to move the point of impact to the right then you need to tap the sight to the right. The other solution is to install an adjustable rear sight such as those made by MECGAR or Pachmayer, either of which makes adjustments much easier.

    I have shot a lot of model 92's and have personally never seen one that needed adjustment. So I would be darn sure it is the gun and not the shooter before I messed with it. These are great guns in my opinion,

    you might try a couple different loads too. i would also have a few people try the gun and see if it shoots left for them too.

    I also have a 92fs and although I have not had any problems with the sight adjustment I know of at least one other person who had the same problem you describe he sent his weapon back to have it realigned by the factory

    Did you buy the gun new or used? I've owned five of them. Some were new and one was used. The new ones all shot right on target when using quality ammo. Used cheap ammo a few times and it was like I was shooting a totally different gun. Accuracy was terrible. Switched back to good ammo, gun was right on again. Now as far as a used one, the sights could have been messed with or the barrel might just be worn out. I know this because I put about 8,000 rds. through one of my new ones and the accuracy got terrible. Replaced it with a new barrel and it shot right on the money again. If your gun is used, check the rifling out with a bore light and if the grooves look a little thin, replace your barrel. Or if you have a magnified light, examine the rear sight and see if you can see any small marks or dents where someone might have tapped the sight one way or the other. But, as I mentioned before, if you want superior accuracy, you have to use superior ammo.

    Try shooting with the front sight only and see where the rounds go. I also agree try other brands of ammo. My 2 cents. [8D]

    If you are shooting to the left, try not using so much finger on the trigger. Use the pad of the trigger finger instead of putting your whole finger on it. Also have someone else that you consider a good shooter shoot the firearm first before you go making adjustments. This is the advise I give all my students before they shoot on the range, me or someone else from the range will shoot their weapon. Then when they say it don't shoot right we know if the problem is the weapon or the shooter.

    I found out that the person I knew who shared the shoots to the left issue actually dropped the pistol and tweaked the sight so if it was used its possible this happened

    Order a sight pusher from brownell's. Its a good tool to have.

    the 92's sights are pretty difficult to move inadvertantly. I agree with the try less finger approach. That problem has plagued me for a while. I can see how this may be an issue, espically on the first double action shot. Try another shooter first, not to insult your abilities. But if this weapon system is new to you, you may just be adjusting to the learning curve.
