Beretta CX4 mag issue

[Riven]

Two issues really. Out of the blue one of my original Beretta mags wants to fall free with almost every shot. Sister mag runs fine. Could it just be the mag release needs a cleaning or possibly something else?

Second my new Mecgar will not feed 2 rounds without jamming. The feed lips are tight and i have bent them out as close to factory mag specs as possible but its still not enough. Is it time to break out the file or take it to a pro?

This is my go to gun so not having to work is a major bummer.

Mec gars are crud imo.

Beretta mags are not much better sadly.

So what do i use then??? Promag is pos.

I have had 0 issues with Mecgar or factory Beretta mags. Strange that they are giving the OP such problems.

Likewise. Seeing that there are issues with more than one mag, might be something internal that needs to be looked at.

I agree Promag is a POS. My Kel tec Sub 2000 came with in the Beretta 92 clip confirguration with a Promag clip. Gun would jam stove pipe, would not run at all. Stuck in a Beretta 92 mag, gun instantly runs 100% with any ammo. Night and day difference. Took me awhile to figure it out, assumed it was ammo related at first.

Dunno. Most of my beretta mags were/are older px4 mags (garbage, feed lips spread, would crack along the rear spine if left loaded.) The more recent ones seem better.

Had some beretta 92 mags that were solid, but they and the gun are gone. Promag certainly are the bottom of the barrel as mentioned.

Looking to purchase a CX4. I'm a bit worried about what I hear.

There are a ton of CX4's kicking around and very few stories about having issues.

Other than the promag falling free with every round i have never had an issue. It does not like 180gr. But i blame that on the nr barrel job. I just load 155/165 with no issues.

I tore it down tonight and totally flushed the internals and re oiled everything. Was not that dirty but it cant hurt.
The bad mag seams to seat fine now but i wont know until i get to shoot it again.

Dont be afraid of getting a CX4. Great gun all things considered.

No issues with factory mags in mine. I also have a MecGar for a Beretta 96 that feeds 90% of the time. If it were me, I'd take it to a smith.

Buy with confidence! They are reliable, accurate and fun as hell to shoot.
