Any idea if all 92 production moved to plant 7 now? #5 was where a lot of older ones were made while my 2009 was at #7, and suprised to see #5 at this late date and after 2000 retool and 2009 CBC buying Rossi/Braztech and Taurus in 2015.

yes, that I knew, but was suprised to see you talking about the date query with a 2014 DOM for plant 5 when I have a 2009 gun made at plant 7 meaning they had several plants making same gun, and that year 2000 retool to CNC machines must have been mighty expensive for two or more plants, and also begs the question of just how many plants do they have making 92s anyhow? I would have thought one plant would have been sufficient for demand...

Thanks, Erick, for the insight on the complexity of the transfer.
Would you happen to know if the R92 switching to poorly angled hollow-backed MIM cartridge guides happened in the 2000 retool? The main culprit of feed problems in the R92 seems to be too steep ramping of rim slots in the cartridge guides binding the rims as bolt pushes forward, binding magnified by too-strong ejector spring. The spring can be swapped, but only so much can be done about rounding forward corners of rim slots or reducing their angles without risk of too much thinning of hollow-backed guide rim slots. If older ones were solid, even if cast, those could be reshaped to feed slick as anything ever made.
