Beretta 92 Pierced Primers

[Nacho Man]

I wonder if I should buy a factory spring kit and drop it off at gunsmith near work.

Let him buy it; he will make a couple of bucks and you will make a friend.

After enlarging the pierced photo, the center of the primer is still there. Gas came from a tiny pin hole in the primer. Had same in 357, replaced the hammer nose (firing pin) after many years. Not as dangerous , like when the center of the primer is gone. Avoid the problem ammo and keep shooting, while keeping watch on the firing pin tip.

My Magtech experience involved 30 Carbine ammo. Several times in a box of 50, primer fell out of the fired brass. I discovered it when a primer ended up in the left bolt lug recess and prevented it from going into battery. Never happened with any other brand.
Since my Taurus PT92 happens to be next to me as I look at the breech photos, I had to look at the Taurus breech. No concave on mine, and it doubt it helps feeding.

That is exactly what happened to me; m1 carbine. From then on, I don't touch their stuff if they pay me.
