My friend with his new to him Beretta 92 is trying to figure out why the hammerr is dropping when the slide goes forward.
He has not taken it out to shoot yet. Used firearm, recently purchased. Just dry firing and practicing manipulations, but noticed this happpening.
At first he thought that it might be happening because he wasn't racking the slide back for enough for the sear to catch. But I had him try locking the slide back and using the release. He says it follows radomly and occassionally. But if he releases and rides the slide forward, the hammer never follows.
Any suggestions or ideas on what to look for?
