If you're looking for a battle tested and proven 9mm full size handgun, then look no further than the handgun the United States Marine Corps calls upon. You won't find a better proving ground than the sands of Iraq where Beretta M9's have functioned as Marine Corps officer's standard side arm. Since , Beretta U. Armed forces and allies worldwide. Beretta's 92FS is the civilian version of the M9 and like the M9 it operates on a short recoil, delayed blowback system which yields faster cycle times, exceptional accuracy, and great reliability.
The open top slide design virtually eliminates jamming and allows the shooter to chamber individual rounds in the event that magazines were ever lost. Perfect for left-handed shooters, the 92 features an ambidextrous thumb safety which also functions as a de-cocking lever.
Beretta is one of the oldest firearm manufacturers in the world with a reputation for excellence. Their origination dates back to when Mastro Bartolomeo Beretta received payment from the Arsenal of Venice for arquebus barrels.
So I'm not trying to troll or start a flame war about Berettas or how everyone in the military supposedly hates them, I personally find Berettas considerably easier to shoot than my Glock 17 at comparable distances. I've had several over the years. With that out of the way, I'm seeking some input here The Beretta 92F that went through testing for the U. Military proved a MRBF mean rounds before failure of 35, rounds.
Still, more realistically, I have heard at least stories of some people who have put 2 to 3 thousand rounds or more through their Beretta 92s without cleaning and have not experienced stoppages.
Supposing these types of stories are true, I'd imagine these were brand new guns that had gone this long or longer without maintenance, obviously not 20 to 25 year old guns that need recoil springs or locking blocks replaced and all that. I do wonder if these guns were at least lubed liberally in the beginning of their maintenance-free ordeal, or if they were purchased new from the shop and essentially run dry no lube mag after mag after mag from the start.
This assumes the use of quality, clean, reputable ammunition and factory Beretta magazines being utilized in the gun at all times. I don't expect as I said for the average Beretta to last 35, rounds without cleaning before a failure obviously, but realistically how long can one expect to shoot the thing without having to clean it or lube it?
What's the longest you've gone on shooting one without cleaning, and did yours experience any failures? Am I wrong? In May I finished the rd challenge with mine. Pistol is a plain Jane Beretta 92FS I fired a total of rounds starting from mid december up to mid may. The test was pretty uneventful overall. I usually shot rounds per session. I never had any true failures of any sort. Every round went bang, ejected and loaded the next round.
Though there were no problems, I could feel the hammer kinda draggin on the bottom of the slide so I thought it best to add a coat of grease on the hammer surface, smoothed it up. During the last session I noted that the brass wasn't flying very far but they still cleared the chamber.
Other than that, no issues. I'm happy with the pistols performance and it was lots of fun! Quote History. Quoted: In May I finished the rd challenge with mine. Ive gone over a thousand rounds. I didn't mean too, but I shoot it so sporadically I lost track of its maintenance schedule.
I'm not a huge fan, but as long as they are lubed properly they will keep on ticking. They go for a fair amount of rounds with no lube for that matter. I think I hit around rds before I decided to clean it. No failures and no signs of future failures, just was bored one day so I cleaned all my guns.
To this day, I have never had a failure of any type bought In Aug I cleaned my M9 the other day and headed to our work range. We had rounds of M that needed shot. I fired every round from my freshly lubed M9, after rounds I started having failure to return to battery and often the slide failed to lock to the rear.
All the ammo was loaded into Beretta mags by yours truly. It was a let down to be honest, I should have to relube the gun after rounds. Quoted: I cleaned my M9 the other day and headed to our work range. About rds. I never go very long without cleaning issued M9s.
I am currently shooting the Eastern Division Matches and there have been more issues with the M9s than I care to count. I personally have had 1 failure to eject during intramurals a few weeks back. I had cleaned and lubed the pistol just prior to starting the 1st string, so it went 59 rounds before issue.
