Silencerco Beretta 92FS Barrel Fitment
It's a shame I had to return this barrel. A factory new Beretta Locking Block would not fit properly. Had to almost force the block into position in the barrel then the block would not move/pivot as it should. This should be a drop in fit and I will not do any fitting to make it work.
Bad experience, possible lemon
My well-used locking block would NOT fit into this Silencerco threaded barrel without modification - modification I wasn't willing to do. I initially thought the locking block was catching at the rear of the barrel, but it's also possible that the groove in the front was machined too narrowly, making the locking block unable to pivot all the way down. It would take a good amount of sanding for the locking block to slide freely like it does in my OEM Beretta barrel. IMO, this is unacceptable for a part that's A) supposedly "drop-in", and B) made for one of the most common supressor-hosts on the market. I should note this could have just been a lemon, or part of a bad batch (9/2017). Machining quality wasn't great, either, as there were machining lines around the chamber area, and the thread protector was not as well finished as my Silencerco Glock 34 barrel's, which I am COMPLETELY satisfied with. This 92 barrel, though, will be going back to Brownells as my first-ever return.
