Wheel weight alloy ok?I've had a couple of them, both shot very well with 92/6/2 alloy sized @ .357" and lubed with Alox 50/50. I ran the Lee 122 grain T/C to 1250 FPS with accuracy like that of Speer Lawman Gold Dot 124 +P.
I concur. The 92 utilizes a tilting block to handle the barrel to slide locking; a system Beretta essentially stole from Walther. That system, combined with the open top slide, is remarkably reliable and remarkably tolerant of cartridge profiles.The feed angle of the Berreta 92 series is very “flat” because of the dropping block locking system so it feeds all bullet profiles well. They seem to be accurate with cast bullets too. They are remarkably non sensitive to ammunition and function well with low powered ammunition. .........
Now I just have to wait for the nix check and then the Maryland mandated 7 day pistol purchase hostage crisisView attachment 20261 92FS barrel, note the generous feed ramp and conventional rifling.
View attachment 20262Note the enlarged head of the hammer pin, it is the semi-circular piece seen above the grip.
View attachment 20263 and the corresponding slot in the slide rail (upper rail in photo). Note that slot ends just rear of the breach face. That slot aligns with the enlarged hammer pin and serves to capture the rear of the slide if the slide were to break forward of that point.
View attachment 20264 Note the cuts in the slide for the locking block to engage.
