Hi all,
Rented a 9mm Beretta at a range today.
Fired three shots through it with the following effect:
Gun was so dirty, the slide did not go completely back, the empty case just made it out of the chamber. After removing the magazine, it turned out the slide stayed back WITHOUT using the slide-stop... It required a normal effort to pull the slide back, so I don't think it was a weak spring.
Also, all three rounds ended near the bottom edge of the target (at 10 yards). Normally, I shoot a 3 inch group at that distance. Usually a bit low and to the left (still working on that).
Could this bullet placement (or lack thereof) be related to the malfunctioning of the gun?
Thoughts, anyone?
