Sidearms & Scatterguns Beretta M9 Question

[tacticalpanda]

Recently picked up a Beretta M9A1. I've had the gun out once and put 100 rounds through it. My question is that when I dry fire the gun in double action the hammer does not always drop 100% of the way. It stops short and I will have to pull the trigger again. This happens about 1 out of every 5 trigger pulls. Is this normal? I need to get the gun out more and run more rounds through it but I did not do it the day I brought it to the range.

Is this happening while trying to pull the trigger repeatedly quickly?

No. Usually I just do it slow (not the trigger pull but pull after pull) to get used to the heavy pull. Sometimes it happens on the first trigger pull. Just did it fast now and the first didn't drop all the way the second did the third didn't and then the next twenty or so were normal.

I know what you're experiencing, it happens more frequently while dry firing then it does while shooting live rounds. sometimes you might even get a dead trigger(no resistance/no hammer movement) on the trigger when you pull it to the rear too quickly between shots. It's something that seems to be quiet common with the trigger reset or at least until you become accustomed to where the trigger resets completely on the M9.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Hasn't happened at the range yet just on dry firing.
