malfunctioning berretta
I borrowed a Berretta 92 that is short stroking the slide on almost every round. Before I started shooting it, it was working fine. It began malfunctioning by simply not chambering, and I thought it must have been a mag spring, but I tried all of the mags I had (also borrowed) and I'm pretty sure none of them has been kept loaded long enough for any fatigue on the springs. After I stretched one of the magazine springs out it started cycling so slow that it didn't even eject. I've stripped the pistol numerous times and can't figure it out, because there's barely any fouling and no dust or dirt in it whatsoever. I put about 200 rounds through it on a warm day, and the day I had the constant stoppages it was in the 30-40 degree fahrenheit range. I'm totally at a loss. I've looked the locking block over very carefully, and can't see any cracks, and it's a pretty new gun. It has had a trigger job, but I don't see how that could be causing this issue. Anyone who has ever had this problem, I'd really appreciate some help, because the way it looks is that I broke this guy's gun.
