My dealer just received two brand-new U.S.-made Beretta 92FS pistols. They were made at the same time. In fact, they have consecutive serial numbers. They also share the same problem. On both pistols, the slide stop consistently fails to engage the slide when the slide is pulled all the way back on an empty mag. The stop either stays fully lowered, or it rises only very slightly.
The dealer and I could find no grease or crud around the stops that would cause the problem. Also, the problem is evidently not caused by the mags. When we tried the mags in a different Beretta 92, the stop of that pistol functioned perfectly.
Now my question: does this slide stop problem sound like something the factory service department can easily fix? Ordinarily I wouldn't buy a gun that has a problem right out of the box. But this pair of 92s is from a limited production run, and this is probably my only chance to get one like them.
Thanks.
