Beretta 9mm jamming

[Bug88]

Im no gun nut but I do own a few. I ve had my 9mm in the closet w/ a full clip for about 5 years. i took it out to shoot it today and it jammed on every shot. I dont remember it doing that befor. Did the full clip compress the spring too much or greese needed.....your thoughts...

If you are going to store the weapon for any period of time you might consider removing bullets from the magazine to take pressure off the spring. Also, did you strip it down and regrease the weapon before firing?

had the same problem with mine...how is yours jamming ? the round just doesnt chamber and gets stuck at a angle or round chambers but the slide stops 1/2inch from forward position ?

Spot on! bet the magazine spring is weak.

Sounds like a fatigued magazine spring.

[Rodney Bledsoe]

Or too weak of a load.

I greased it and put in the other magazine....works like a charm now...BUT, what do i do w the bad magazine...just stretch the spring?

ps The jam was at an angle

Probably be better to just replace the spring.

I'd tear it down...clean it and lube it. It could be the spring but if it's jamming all the time regardless of how many rounds are in the mag I'd say it's just running too dry.

[bgibson53]

You don't have a spare magazine around to see if it just the single magazine that is causing the malfunction and not the weapon itself?

[NASCAR]

It is the spring, a beretta will not jam for any other reason, I shot mine though the entire police academy and never cleaned it just to prove a point and I was shooting cheap reloads like black powder :lpowder and that gun never skipped

[Bryanmc57]

I think he already narrowed it down to the mag...
