As an illustration to how absurd the story about Beretta 92 slides breaking got... In 1991, I was in a state law enforcement academy. Our class was the first for the agency to be trained on the 92FS. The joke at the time was the FS was the "new model" with an air bag. The department armorer told us that it was all on the SEALs as they, in an effort to get more performance out of the 9MM, were using C4..... yes the explosive, instead of powder, as the propellant. That story "came direct from "Beretta". People embellish crap all the time. I hate people.
Chris Bartocci has a great video about what happened:

Not that I ever heard. I do know that the first batches of M882 ammo that the Army procured was basically all proof loads. Beretta got some of the sample ammo and the pressure as off the chart. The Army later admitted this and all the slides that cracked used this overpressure ammo. There was a fairly large settlement paid out to Beretta after the lawsuit.

B92 slide deficiency issue rumors should have died out before some here were born. The internet raises them from the dead. I don't deny that some slides did break early in the game. Between Beretta and the military, I think that the 92FS model is the most systematically studied handgun in the world. They work.
