How does the feed ramp look is it smooth and shiny or does it have rough ridges from machining? A little polishing with 600 grit paper may be needed

Beretta 92 has aluminum frame. Aluminum is soft and anodization makes its surface hard. Polishing the frame feed ramp is not recommended. With the hard anodization removed, the real problem will follow and there will be no fix. Polishing the barrel feed ramp is ok.
If the cartridge is taking a nose dive on the feed ramp, it is a magazine problem. The follower fails to keep the cartridge in nose-up attitude. There must be a reason for that. Disassembling the magazine to inspect and clean may be needed.

OP, here’s another idea; you were gifted with that 92 INOX, so you are already $ ahead the value of the gun. I’d get on the phone with Wilson Combat’s Beretta custom shop & explain the problem you’re having, and I’m sure they can help you get that gun sorted out. If you had to spend a little on an action tune with a spring refresh, you’re still way ahead. Compare a Wilson Combat Brig-Tac to the stock version and you’ll know what I mean. Good Luck!

All three of the 92's I've had ran great out of the box. The first two were new, the third one was a LEO trade in. It's the only one I cleaned before shooting it. I just oiled up the new ones after looking them over and off I went.
A trip to Wilson would probably be a good thing, if i wasn't obvious what the problem is. If it was my gun, I would replace the recoil spring with a new or known good one and see what happens. My trade in 92's spring was pretty weak, but it shot 100% out of the box.

Wilson Combat makes flat wire recoil spring kits for the Berettas. I have a Wilson flatwire recoil spring, guiderod & plug in my 9mm STI Trojan 1911, and I wholeheartedly recommend this upgrade to anyone with a 1911, and, although I have no direct proof of how well this would work on a 92FS, I have to imagine that such a setup would work on a Beretta as well.

My 92A1 has ran wonderfully since day one.
I would recommend you contact Beretta USA and have them remedy the problem. Beretta has re-engineered there springs in recent years for increased durability.
The WILSON COMBAT products can fill a niche but I think most of their "upgrades" for the 92 series are either not needed in this point in the 92s life cycle or are just redundant as Beretta offers many of the same things such as skeletonized hammers, triggers, mag releases, etc. etc.
Throwing a bunch of WILSON COMBAT parts at the gun will not necessarily make it a better product nor one that will fit you better.
My 92A1 is kitted out with all metal parts, D-spring, extended magazine release, skeletonized hammer, and a G-series decocker kit. All of this is 100% factory Beretta and I always like to go OEM before I go aftermarket.

Beretta 92 FS INOX update:
I came back from the range today and gladly report I had 0 malfunctions with the Beretta, I was using the same ammunition that previously caused malfunctions. I am 100% convinced that the problem was that this particular gun needed a break in period.
