Same problem but a different number of rounds were fired. So it was torn apart and cleaned on the range and mags were downloaded and cleaned. Reloaded everything and went to shoot again. I had the same problem as before. I figured I must be limp wristing it and changed grip. This didn’t solve the problem and another shooter fired the weapon and had the same problem. Does this type of failure sound familiar at all?
I ended up trading the handgun away as part of a deal for an M1-A National Match, but this problem still bothers me.

How many rounds had been thrown through the weapon ?
Did you change out the recoil spring and guide rod ? ( I prefer a steel guide rod to the plastic)
Steel guide rods can be found here :

I change out the recoil spring every 4,000 rounds. I have yet, in civillian conditions and some harsh conditions to have any failures with my 92fs. I have fired every imaginable 9mm Luger ammunition through mine and I have only had possibly 3 or 4 failures to feed in 10 years. That was a bone dry weapon and only took a couple of drops of CLP to cure it at that particular shoot.
A weak recoil spring is likely the culprit along with bad mag springs. Were these "stovepipes" or other type failures ?
