Cleaning my Beretta 92x

GaryED50 · November 5, 2021, 03:47 PM

Just got back from a range visit and while cleaning my 92X I found this on the Barrel chanmber

What does the 5 mean?

I think it is like the slip of paper with the number 5 you find in the pocket of a new suit.

TunnelRat · November 5, 2021, 04:05 PM

“Red 5 standing by”
“Number 5 is alive”
“Five by five”

Could be any number of things. I think to get the best answer it’s worth calling and asking Beretta if you’re interested.

I doubt its the last digit of your serial number. is it a 5" barrel?

It's a legit question and I hope you get an answer but I must admit I'm enjoying the responses so far. This is a great site.

Rating the accuracy of the barrel?

I would be on the lookout for at least an 8, 9 or 10 better. But, very difficult to come by.

That's the lock block, no? 92 famous lock block versioning?

You guys are funny!

Jagrbomb · November 7, 2021, 08:08 PM

If you bought another one, you'd have 55

Groundhog34 · November 8, 2021, 06:55 PM

Probably the line on which it was manufactured

wild cat mccane · November 8, 2021, 09:41 PM

oops. That "5" isn't the lock block, it's the retaining part of the barrel for the lock block.
