Finally got my hands on an LTT at Buds in Sevierville. Very nicely done. Why do Berettas seem slightly under sized for a "duty" gun to me? The full size grip seems slightly shorter than I expect every time I handle one.
I had to listen to the clerk packing a G17 tell me compact Berettas weren't worth the weight saved when I asked to compair the LTT to a compact with the rail. Also I was told about the down side of carrying an all metal gun.

I also just picked up a new 92G LTT and noticed some machining marks where the barrel locks up in the slide. This is my first Beretta so I'm not sure what to make of it. A lot of you guys own these already so I figured you all would be able to tell me if this is normal.

I recently experienced several failure to eject malfunctions (FTEs) on my LTT Elite. After approximately 2,000 rounds, I had two FTEs during a class in San Antonio. I was really surprise given that the pistol had run absolutely perfectly up to that point. I cleaned and lubed the gun and took it out for a 200 round range session a week later. Boom! - two more FTEs.
After inspecting everything carefully and finding nothing wrong, I decided to remove and inspect the ejector. With the help of a couple YouTube videos posted by MosinVirus, I was able to knock out the extractor pin, remove the extractor and extractor spring and have a look inside. I was amazed at the amount of burnt crud that was caked up under the extractor. I could literally scoop it out with the end of my nylon pick! Looking at how dirty the firing pin was, I decided to remove it as well and clean the firing pin and firing pin channel while I was at it. I'm glad I did. After running a pipe cleaner through the firing pin channel, cleaning all of the parts and chasing the left hand safety spring and plunger across the room a time or two, I finally got it all reassembled and ready for the range.
I happy to report that after running 200 rounds through the gun yesterday, everything functioned perfectly.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has had a similar experience with their Beretta 92 and whether Beretta recommends removing the extractor and firing pin for cleaning at regular intervals.
