jpm2953 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Shot my LTT in a match yesterday. Almost every reload. I had to grab the mag and pull it out. Could get them to drop free. they drop free if it’s an empty mag or completely full but if I’ve shot half a mag, it won’t. my theory is the top bullet is sliding forward and not allowing the mag to drop free. would extra power mag springs help? Mecgar 18 round mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stony Lane Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Are your grip screws possibly too long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it would hang up regardless if that was the case. This is only after I’ve shot a couple rounds and go to do a reload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konkapot Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Check the sides of the mags for rub marks; either from grip screws or debris. Remove the mag release and confirm that the mags drop free. Confirm that ALL mags do it, not just one of the mags. The top bullet sliding forward used to happen to me with singlestack mags; new spring fixed the problem. Never had it happen with Beretta mags, but seems possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigS Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 If there is clearance everywhere try it dry fire but slowly. This way you can be absolutely sure that you are pushing the release button in all the way. I like this replacement button best. Beretta 92/96 Oversize Steel Magazine Release Button I also cut 2.5 coils off of the internal spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpm2953 Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 So, follow up. Turns out it was the mag release. It was pushing too far in and catching the mag. A couple minutes with a file had solved the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stony Lane Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 On one Beretta, I placed a small piece of nylon rod inside the mag release spring to prevent the catch from over extending. (too long and you can't reassemble the release, too short and it won't work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
