When I served in the USMC I carried an M9. At first, it the size of grip was weird. I personally had zero issues and I shot a lot. As an MSG, I never experienced any malfunctions. My ccw is LCP 2, Max or Beretta APX centurion in FDE. My next firearm will either be the new APX A1 Tactical or M9a4. I’m leaning M9A4 for nostalgia and accuracy. Great vid!
It could be the magazine body just needs to be tweeked a little. I had one that was closed too much and would not let the follower go to the top of the mag. Yours seems like the mag body is open to much and letting the follower go too high. I would mark that mag with a piece of tape, then disassemble it and other good mag a measure with both with calipers. You can use a rubber mallet or a vice to close the mag body. If it is the follower then, Midwest Gun Works or Numrich Gun Parts should have them in stock.
Part of the problem is too the actual widths of the magazines are just a little different so screw length is definitely something to look out for. But not too bad considering all the different grips that are used on this gun.
I have a brand new APX-A1 Compact. Had this issue with one of the two mags that came with it. Bought 4 more Beretta 15-rd mags, while loading them at least 2 required me to fiddle with the follower to get it to go back into the metal mag part. The issue seems to be it rides up too high and gets stuck. Haven't shot these yet, hoping they'll settle in. Getting the 15th round in was much more difficult than other 9mm mags I've loaded, even with a speedloader. Might resort to making them 14rd mags, it's just a range gun for now.
I have one issue with the pro mag. I don't recommend them but I have found out that I will order more at gun zone deals and the price is very good for Italian made MEC-GAR 18 round for 22 dollars if you order more than 100 dollars free shipping. I'm ordering magazines for my PX4 storm soon.
@@miguelvelez8516 CDNN sports has 15 round count for 20 bucks and they have in stock and they will ship them in a few days. I bought a PPQ there. In fact I'm gonna order some for myself. Beretta told me that you can use any 92 magazine in any 92 series themselves. I'm sorry I can't do that share that link.
interesting, i wonder if you were to disassemble the mags and put a micrometer to some of the parts if may be you could pin point the issue. good point on testing your kit.
I had 2 92x rdo centurion , both of them ruined my ammo with both the magazines it came with when I left them fully loaded and even with out loading the magazine full . I owned a 92 fs before and the beretta and mecgar magazines did the same thing to my bullets it left them all dented so I sold them. Maybe it was just me with that bad luck but none of my glocks or smith and wessons do it and I love beretta :( and I use hornady self defense rounds so they aren’t the cheapest

Thanks for watching the video, of course I will recommend the M9A4.

I may need to check them out, that’s a good deal. Good info, thanks
@@Duty2Domicile I would do that soon because they raise the price.
Can you send the link for the MEC-GAR magazines? Just bought a 92 XI and is stiff as hell

I've heard that MEC-GAR actually manufactures Beretta's magazines, so the quality has a good chance of being the same.

I’m sure a micrometer would definitely be better then eyeballing it, but I don’t have one, which I may need to get down the road.
what brand?
Mekgar seems reliable mags / thx 🙏
Is this fit to 3rd gen smith and wesson 59 series?
I have no idea, have not tried it out
Brand new 92x RDO. FTF constantly. Pretty sure its the OEM 10rd mags. Im considering trading this for a Glock, and I absolutely hate Glocks

Oh is it pro mag? That’s why garbage bro
It’s a beretta branded magazine.
