I just noticed this on my Beretta. A small piece of metal on the rear of the slide where the hammer hits has apparently broken off.

Perfectly Normal!
All M9/92 pistols have that relief cut by the firing pin channel. Again, nothin is wrong with your pistol as this is part of the design.
But if you don't trust me, I'll dispose of it for you. ;)
Thanks! This is my first Beretta pistol and it didn't look like it was supposed to be there.
I charge a disposal fee for highly sought out guns. ;)
So my 92 looks the same as yours from the back. I noticed it when it stopped running altogether. When I removed the slide I saw that the crack went forward along the squared off firing pin housing for it's entire length. ~ 2"+ as I recall. The slide is completely failing in a huge way. No +Ps or hand loads. NIB old gun I got along with some Smiths, Sigs, Colts, and other high end guns from a collector. He had never fired any of them. This happened within the first box of commercial target rounds. (maybe two) Your picture is the first mention of this issue that I've seen and I've looked around the web a bit. I only hope Beretta will sell me a slide. If anyone knows how to get them to return an email, that would be great. kQuote:

I'll pull it out when I get home in the morning and try to take some good pix. kQuote:

It is normal.
