I've owned a 92A1 for two years. I have about 6700 rounds total through the gun, of which 6000 were Blazer Brass. I've had no failures at all and have found it to be pretty tolerant of a couple of cleaning & lube regimens that I've tried. I've changed the recoil spring once (@ about 5500 rounds) and otherwise, just shot the gun (bullseye and IDPA) and kept it clean. As far as lube, I grease the rails and a couple of other metal to metal contact points that experience high stress.
Most of the military guys (and all the special ops guys) I hear from have nothing good to say about Beretta, but under the relatively light use I give it, it's been my most reliable handgun - go figure! I'd still prefer to trust my life to one of my SIGs, but my Beretta has been good to me.
