Sloppy tolerances, not drop-in like beretta says - Beretta 90 Series Extended Threaded Pistol Barrel

On Beretta's web site they claim that this barrel is "a true drop-in replacement" for the 92 series pistols. Then the fine print says effectively, "In rare cases minor gunsmithing may be required." Well, it is not rare, and it is not minor! This is a complete misrepresentation. The problem is in the location of the locking block, which is too far back from the breech for the locking block lugs to fit in the slide properly. You can drop it into the slide, but then the slide will not go onto the frame again because the locking block cannot fully seat. It is the result of sloppy manufacturing tolerances, typical of Beretta parts in the past few years. AVOID!! There are better choices for 92FS threaded barrels right here on OP.
