Beretta Px4 spring/guiding rod replacement program

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Sorry if this has already been mentioned here -- I couldn't find any prior coverage. Beretta is providing a free recoil spring + guiding rod replacement for Px4 Compact that are affected by the feeding/extraction problems. Below is the link:

 

Beretta Customer Support

 

Beretta has identified a feeding problem that can occur with some Px4 Compact pistols when fired with some low and mid-pressure ammunition. The issue arises only in the Px4 Compact and does not affect the standard size Px4 pistol, nor the Px4 Subcompact. This feeding problem typically stops occurring after the pistol has been broken-in through repeated firing.

Beretta has developed a polished guide rod and recoil spring that corrects the ammunition situation and is available for any customer experiencing feeding problems. Not all Beretta Px4 Compact pistols are affected by this condition; most pistols currently incorporate this enhanced feature.

 

I have been dismayed at sporadic FTFs with most 115gr in my 9mm Compact, and my gunsmith suggested to replace the spring. Running a quick Google search turned up that link above.

You may already have the new spring. I wish I could show you what it looked like, but I'm at work right now and the Beretta site is blocked.

 

I went through the same things as you did, and it took about 800 rounds before the pistol functioned flawlessly. I also stored it with the slide locked to the rear, and for about a week, I spent an hour every day racking the slide while I watched TV. Now the pistol runs like a dream.

That's interesting. Certainly involving than I would expect from the breaking-in procedure! I should have thought of the storing with the slide locked trick... But as far as rounds go, I am actually up to 750 rounds now, but the FTFs continue to happen now and them.

 

What ammunition do you typically fire from yours?

 

I definitely do NOT have the new spring, since Beretta's website ask for you gun's serial # to confirm that you need it, and it accepted mine.

After three weeks since receiving the spring, I actually got to try it. Now the PX4 functions flawlessly, cycling without any problems even with the most questionable of ammunition I could obtain for the test -- Herter's aluminum cased (I still feel guilty about putting it into my gun).

      Looking to sell my Beretta 1301 Tac. Black, standard stock, extended factory 7 round magazine, WITH replaceable chokes. Gun is like new, with all original packaging, paperwork, and accessories. Has been fired less than 250 rounds, and is in perfect shape. 7+1 round model, made NJ compliant with a 2 round limiter. I bought this gun brand new less than a month ago. I’ll include a Beretta hard plastic, foam lined gun case. I have a 1301 comp incoming, and while I would love to keep the tac, it’s just not practical, so I am letting it go.

      Located in 08724, will travel to a ffl for transfer within a reasonable distance. Would prefer not to deal with shipping. 
      Please, serious buyers only. Ask any questions and I’ll answer them asap!

      Hi guys,
      I am new to the forum. I just purchased a Beretta 1301 Tactical and I would like to extend the capacity to the maximum allowed, and that would require getting a +1 extension, but i can’t find that anywhere. All that is offered is +2 or more. 
      There is only one solution that i have found, but i can’t find dealers that offer it. It’s an Italian company that has it (Toni Systems) and what’s great about it is that it’s a +2 extension size, so the extension will be flush with the barrel, which will be optically very pleasing and useful, while it provides a +1 extension making it legal in NJ. But, i can’t get it. Has anyone already found a solution?
      Thanks!

      My first pistol was a used 92fs inox in very good shape.  I love it.  I don't know how old it was when I got it, but i've had it well over 10 years.  On my last two range outings, I've experienced the oddest FTF pattern i've ever seen.  It FTF on the 4th round every time.  I thought maybe its the ammo, and tried three different brands, with 115gr and 124gr.  I used two different magazines.  I even stripped and cleaned between outings.  I fire three rounds and FTF on the fourth.  Clear the jam, 3 and FTF on the fourth.  Ive even tried using the rounds that FTF and put them in the first three with no issues, until the fourth round.  
      Something mechanical must be going wrong.  Ive looked around and seen a few possible issues to try and solve this short of going to a gunsmith.  
      Anyone have any ideas?
       
      Thanks,
      Jason
