Beretta 92A1 failure to eject/load...help please

I don't think it's possible for the spring to be installed backwards. I tried that thinking the same thing you were thinking and if you install the spring the wrong way it just doesn't fit well. I know the spring is installed properly as turning it around just doesn't work properly.

What could in have done inadvertently? You got me scared....


So gun scrubber takes all the lubricant off, then that very well could be the issue.

I don't think I will use gun scrubber again. Could you recommend a good cleaner to use? -- I will grab some rem oil to lubricrate, just need a recommend spray to use to get the gunk off with a tips
 
I'm going to run up to walmart now and get some rem oil.
Let me know what spray cleaner to get and I'll grab that to clean everything except the barral.
Want to get her cleaned up again and lubricated to shoot it tomorrow to see if that cures the problem.

As the comment about me in advertantly messing something up is going to have me worried so I want to test it ASAP.
 
Remoil is one of the worst lubricants out there, its extremely thin. Walmart carries Mpro7 and Hoppes Elite oil, far better options. Personally on my Beretta I use a moly grease, I use it on any of my aluminum framed guns for a specific reason. On aluminum framed guns you are dealing with a much harder steel slide working with a softer aluminum frame, to prevent excess wear on the frame I like to use grease on the rails of the frame. Not entirely necessary to use grease, a quality oil will do the job too, but the grease adds that extra barrier of protection as it stays put and does not run like oil.
 
Thanks for the advice.

I grabbed m pro7 to clean the gun and I grabbed hoppes elite gun oil to lubricate it afterwards.

Going to do that now and then shoot tomorrow to see
 
Just a tip, look for the shiny silver spots on the frame rails, these are the spots where there is the most friction and should be well lubricated.

Also, completely unrelated, but a good cheap mod for your Beretta is to drop in a Beretta D hammer spring. This will lighten up the double action pull of the trigger, the difference is night and day and is a huge improvement. The mod is also super easy to do.
 
I strongly second the recommendation of using grease on the frame rails of any aluminum alloy-framed pistol. It doesn't need to be anything fancy. I just buy the plastic syringes of your basic Shooter's Choice synthetic grease (and there are probably ways of getting cheaper generic lubricating greases in large quantities that will do the job equally well). The 92 that I shoot the most has fired close to 37,000 rounds, and the anodizing on the frame rails looks essentially as good as new. Al alloy-framed pistols fired without grease will generally begin to show wear to anodizing within a small fraction of that number of rounds.
