Extractor shake test Beretta 92

[marb4]

I have a Beretta 92FS that has had a couple of failure to extract issues recently. (I've made some other posts regarding this issue. Thanks for bearing with me on this one.) I did the extractor shake test (remove slide, place live round under extractor, rotate and shake to see if it stays in place).

I can get the round to come off but it takes some significant shaking to do so. With the round under the extractor, its not held exactly rock solid against the bolt face. There's a little wiggle but again it takes a pretty good shake to get it to fall off.

How tightly should the round be held against the bolt face?

If it holds in place with gentle to moderate shaking is this sufficent?

This is not exactly scientific but how much shaking should be required to get the round to come off?

Never heard of the 'shake test', but I had a guy at the range a coupla weeks ago with an Inox 96? (40cal). Two failures to extract in a row. I looked at the gun and the 'hook' was broken off smooth!

I've answered your various threads across multiple forums concerning the Beretta. But, instead of peppering 3 or more forums with the exact same thread - you should just post the questions at one and wait for some answers.

The Beretta Forum is the best place to go - as you already know... Since that is one of the places you post at.

I've answered some of your threads at the Handgun Forum, but then get no reply response from you on your own threads there, but then you multipost the next question again, and then the next.

I'd just ask at the Beretta Forum. If you don't get a satisfactory answer, then start looking at other forums. Just my 2 cents...

I don't mean a pain in the butt, but it's a little irritating to people who take the time to answer your questions in detail.

I genuinely appreciate your answers and the time you have taken to respond to my posts. It is possible however that there are others with knowledge that could be helpful that may not visit multiple forums such as you and I do. I posted my threads in three different forums at the same time in order to get a broader range of responses. I have no intention to irritate you and again am thankful for the time you have taken with your responses.

p.s. I did respond to your answer on the Beretta forum site.

It sounds like you are applying a 1911 test, which is applied to an internal extractor, to a Beretta 92's external extractor. Two small problems when you apply the same test across platforms and expect the same results.

1. The test was developed to determine if the tensioned extractor of the 1911 needed to be removed and re-bent...the extractor of the Beretta has a separtae coil spring and is self adjusting.

2. Tolerances of the extractor groove of a .45ACP (original chambering for the 1911) are pretty tightly controlled. Those for the 9x19mm are much less so, due to the larger number of manufacturers producing the product
