My Baretta 92fs Hates My Wife

[2Slow]

I had a very peculiar trip to the range yesterday with my wife.
Almost every time she shot my Baretta it would jam. I would take the gun clear the jam fire a couple rounds and give it back she would shoot and it would jam again. This happened time and again. I could empty a clip and no jams, she would try a shot and it would jam.
Any thoughts to this peculiar problem?

Limp wrist. Show her a better grip and the problem should be gone.

Yep.. definately sounds like she is limp wristing. Show her how to hold properly and explain she needs to exert a moderate amount of pressure (squeezing the grip) to both accurately & properly operate the firearm.

Yup my old lady has the same issue with mine,its limp wristing.

I agree as well, limp wristing, I've seen guys do it too.

Ive seen a pretty good youtube video of a guy trying his best to limp wrist a beretta but it still kept working with no issues. Dammed if i can find it now.

Here is one of the many limp wrist test videos on youtube.

The Beretta is so pretty.

that is suprising from the glock

JJ guys take it easy.

the beretta is just like any other italian woman- they hate it when you spell the name wrong, and get really "p8ssed' when you're in the arms of another- then the vocabulary comes out a mile a minute

This is interesting - First I've heard of this - the only jams I've experienced from my Beretta 92FS in 15 years of using it, have been because of improperly crimped reloads (my fault).

I've had everyone from petite women to my 5 year old daughter shoot it with no jams. It's one of the reasons I use it for newcomers, because it is reliable.

OP, any idea what the year of manufacture is on yours? Mine's a 1992 vintage, maybe this is a production quality issue?

Ensure that she locks her elbow as well. If its her gun, hotter ammo or lighter spring would solve it as well.

I've never had any jams with my Beretta due to the grip, even when noobs shot it, but I did see a female shooter jam another guys 92 almost every shot like you described. Before that I didn't think it was even possible! If she learns how to hold the gun right there wont be any problems.

Thanks for the replies, that must be what it is. The gun is only 6 months old and was only the 3rd trip to the range with it so i thought maybe I had a lemon but it confused me that it would not jam for me.

I wouldn't recommend the limp wrist test on high power semi auto's...good way to shoot yourself in the head.
