Problem with Beretta M190

tvnutz

Hey,got a beretta M190 a few months ago off ehobby and it has been working grand until now. was firing it last night,no problems,put it away,put the safety on, didn't drop it or anything like that.

then today I go to fire it and the trigger won't work. I took the safety off but when I pull the trigger it is as if the safety is still on. any ideas what might be wrong?

thanks.

sounds like possibly the trigger bar which connects the trigger to the hammer release has came out of place, or the spring which sits in it may have moved. there's a nice disassembly guide on asi here

basically what your looking for is under the right hand grip, if you cant see anything wrong post up a pic and ill compare to mine to see if anything looks out of place


Edit: also, if you manually pull the hammer back and pull the trigger, does anything happen? i had a problem with mine where if i pulled the trigger really slowly, it would go all the way back without actually firing, how fast do you squeeze the trigger?

Edit again: try taking the slide off and have a look underneath where the safety is, turn the safety on/off and you should see a little metal piece move in and out of the slide, make sure it is actually moving, could be jammed on safe? how often do you oil the gun?
