Your sight alignment might improve if you didn't roll your eyes so much.
Seriously, to suggest that the gun is somehow bending? No, couldn't possibly be a problem with your trigger control.
Man I ####ing hate that eye roll emoticon.

Who said anything about bending? Do mean the gun bending? ... your not serious!?
Some pistols do have a miniscule movement as a result of internal parts releasing, springing? etc...
AS for getting upset about my use of the :roll: , relax........ I'm not looking for an argument. :|

Beretta's use a milspec chormed barrel - the barrel will likely last longer than any other part on that gun!
The weakest link is by far the locking block. It's an easy and cheap fix though. ALOT of Beretta critics cite the early M9 pistols as representative. This is foolhardy as those Beretta's were actually an earlier iteration of the Beretta 92. The modern 92FS (and the newer batch of M9's) have a redesigned breech block assembly that has pretty much corrected the issues on earlier guns - which by the way all had tens of thousands of rounds and probably a rebuild or two on them before they started failing.

All I can say is that if K_B's and unsupported chambers are not a problem in Glocks and they handle reloads so well, then why does a booming cottage industry exist to supply conventionally rifled barrels with supported feed ramps to Glock owners on the aftermarket? Why are so many of said items popping up at IPSC matches all over the place? :roll:
Well don't use reloads in a Glock then. Doesn't Glock state they do not recommend reloads or something along that line. I have fired thousands of rounds through my issued Glock without a malfunction or any problems.
"Why are so many of said items popping up at IPSC matches all over the place?'... Maybe because alot of Ipsic shooters reload. Its not rocket science, if they say they do not recommend reloads, well don't do it.

All new pistols have a caveat warning of not using reloads. My Sig Saur P226, CZ75B, Glock, and XD40 manuals all stated the same.
Its a catch all, not everyone who reloads safetly... how many actually use a magnifying glass to inspect each piece of brass? How many actually weigh every powder charge when reloading pistol ammunition? When was the last time your powder charge was calibrated, or the weigh scale you use was calibrated by a Temmis specialist?
Because of these very questions, the manufacturers put the *reloading caveat in their owners manual. It protects the manufacturer from owner potentional negligence.
The octagonal rifling has a higher tendency to foul than regular rifling. I have used lead in my Glocks without any problems... I clean my firearms after each session so fouling is not a concern with me.
I prefer not to use lead cast bullets, the bullet lubrication smokes too much in rapid firing strings... hard to see the targets
I use Frontier, Montana Gold, or BDX bullets when reloading.

If you can find them in Canada the best bang for the buck is a CZ40B. I paid $249 (US) for mine and they are great! If not look for a BHP 40S&W. Regards, Richard

Richard that CZ looks sweet. I don't thinkI have seen one up this way yet. I put the vote in for the XD-40 Tactical. 8) I have had a para-ord p16-40 limited and felt that was quite nice as well. But for me, the XD is probably the best bang for the buck and is a heck of a quality piece.
