I ****ed up. Tried to use 9x18 Makarov rounds in a Beretta 92FS. Never
actually fired the gun with that bullet, since it got stuck.

Both the 9x18 and 9x19 headspace on the neck, so your case is probably
1mm too far forward.

It jammed solid. The slide is perfectly stuck. Does not go forward or
backward. Releasing the slide release or magazine release does
nothing.


It's a diameter issue Dave. 9 Para are .356 and 9 Mak is .364 on
bullet diameter. Similar case differences too, although you're
correct that the Mak is 1mm shorter.

Careful tapping of a dowel rod might open it up. If you can't get it,
drive it over to your favorite gunsmith.
