Sending pistol back to Beretta question.

Hi guys,
Well after almost 10 months of fighting with my M9 beretta for firing low, I am sending it back to beretta for evaluation and repairs. My question is this, I called Beretta to get a RA # to send the pistol back. The guy on the phone said that they do not issue RA's and to just send the pistol back with a note of what is wrong, my name and address & phone #. And a copy of my purchase reciept. Does this sound right?, When ever I have had to return anything I always had to have a RA number. Any advice would be appreciated.

If that's what he told you, then it's probably the way it is....just make sure to get delivery conf..........as far as firing low, I have found, that with Beretta's, you must cover the bullseye with your sight picture..not above, not below, to get center shots.......unless you are shooting 50 yards or longer......

Only the last resort would i send my 92 back to Beretta. I can pretty much change all the parts that need changing and I can drift my own sights. For example i'd bench rest the pistol first before sending it back and I'd replace the rear sight with a trijicon to see if that would bring the shot group up. In my experience my 92 was shooting low right off the bench, so I knew i had to drift the rear sight left which I did. Brought the shot group dead on target and up, at least that was my observation. Shoots bullet hole in bullet hole now. A copy of your purchase receipt? You would think they would have that info if you sent in your warranty?

You need to use sight picture 3 below (for a Beretta 92)



Don't waste the money for shipping ($50-$60 to ship a handgun) without shooting the gun from a rest. Years ago, I had a Hk USPc 9mm. i SWORE it shot low, until I put it on a sandbag rest - dead on.

Does it shoot low for everyone? Did you use sight picture 3?

Shipwreck and all,
Thanks for all the feed back, I should have explained what I have done a little better. This is what I have done:
1- Have tried different commercial ammo, also tried my reloaded bullets.
2- Have tried it on a gun rest, still shot low
3- Have let 2 range masters,( one shoots a 92FS) and they shoot low
4- Shipwreck-- I have tried all three positions of the site positions you show. Mainly staying with Image 3, The only way to hit center target is to shoot 6 to 8 inches above the center.

At first I thought it was me, even thou I have shot automatics before I figured I needed to get use to the Beretta. As time went on and things did not improve, I started to investigate why? I looked for advice in this forum and also from people I trust on the range, but got no joy. I am not claiming to be an expert shooter, but I shoot well with other pistols ( 9mm, 40, 45).

I do most of my shooting at 25 yards, as I figure if I can shoot well at that distance, I can shoot well at a closer encounter. Thanks for all help.
