When I went to the range today I took my 92X Compact along. This was my fourth time shooting it. It’s my first Beretta with an optic and I have been “hammering” it to prove its reliability. ( It’s been perfect).
But, on the second mag, about half way through, it bit me in the fleshy lower part of my strong hand. I got pinched between the bottom of the grip and the mag base plate. Ouch! Blood blister. This has never happened to me before with any pistol. I went through a few more magazines without a hitch. Strange. I thought maybe I didn’t have the mag fully seated and maybe it “latched in” and caught me, but it was firing perfectly. I couldn’t replicate it at the range or at home when I seated all of the mags (looking for one that maybe had a gap). Nothing. Slamming mags home. Nothing. Weird. I’ve put many rounds through my other Betettas without issue. My 92 FS M9A1 Compact never treated me like this. Possibly something with the straight Vertec compact grip. IDK.
It woke me up.
All I can think is that maybe, just maybe, with the compact with the pinky extension on the mag it wasn’t solidly latched and my grip was holding it in place enough to fire repeatedly until it latched and bit me. HMMM.
