The behavior of the takedown lever is normal for a 92A1. The cratered look of the primer is totally normal for a 92. Everyone I have does that, but the pierced primer is something else. You might try a new recoil spring if you haven't all ready. The gun looks like it may have some timing issues. Perhaps a new firing pin spring too.

We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
Ran the replacement gun today with all the aforementioned mag types and ammo. No issues. This one’s going under the tree.
Pro- this gun seems to have better extractor tension. Con- the trigger out of the box isn’t as nice as the first one but I have a spare D spring and TJIAB makes a nice birthday present.
Thanks for all the replies.

Sounds like you've got it sorted out. My only suggestion, since it was not mentioned before, would be to remove the extractor and clean out underneath it. I learned that from someone on this site, and my son's used 92F had a lot of gunk in there.

As noted, the gun was lightly lubed when I got it. The photos were after cleaning and before re-lubing to best show the wear pattern.
Regardless, lube doesn’t account for the pierced primers.
If the gun was for me I might have messed around with it longer. The replacement 92A1 is running fine with the same mags and ammunition types.
I chose this gun over the other used 92a1 because the trigger pull was nicer but a TJIAB will make a nice birthday present.
