Would have been nice if Beretta included that in their manual ! Thanks for the tip...as I had the same problem !

[@DrDeckenstein]

Been stuck enough to know I'm not the only one who's had a particular problem, and someone on KZbin always comes through with a solution. Thanks bunches!

[@papajoeknows8355]

You bet, glad it helped. 👍🏻

[@barney214]

Thanks for the video! I bought mine last year. Shot it, cleaned it and haven't touched it in several months. Did not remember the pushing the barrel part of reassembly.

[@Pro2ANurse]

Thank you for the video. I was having the exact same issue with reassembly and thought I might have a defective pistol... wish I would have watched your video first.

[@papajoeknows8355]

You bet. 👍🏻

[@pabloconqueso]

Thank you! I felt like I was doing something wrong. You are the best.

[@mr.businessman9790]

Haha... wow ... I could not get that figured out so it is much appreciated that you show how to do. Thanks for posting!!

[@papajoeknows8355]

You bet. 👍🏻

[@Lucky_MiTo.]

I actually figured out that barrel issue pretty quickly but I searched for this video because I was having trouble clicking the spring in

[@bongdudugenio9947]

I'm so glad to see your page! I just left my kitty at home unassembled because for the reason I can not assemble it back that lever doesn't set back! Glad to see this video but I want to know every time you assemble it you're doing this. There should be a cause and the right way to engage it without doing what you are doing here. But excellent remedies but still not the right solution.

[@papajoeknows8355]

It’s the only way I’m aware of.

[@ryanmacklyn6106]

Ahh thank you sir! I was so confused! I have a 92a1 and was excited thinking it disassembled and assembled the same way but this little trick saved me!

[@papajoeknows8355]

Glad I could help

[@chuckrich6015]

Thanks. Add me to the list of the people with the same problem. Once again, thank you.

[@007OOGSleazzE]

Thanks Papa Joe 🫡

[@papajoeknows8355]

You bet. 👍🏻

[@seadog686]

Not only is this reassembly procedure not in the owner's manual, there is not owner's manual included in the box with the gun! You have to go online to download it from the internet. Hardly what I would consider a "premium" feature of this firearm!

[@steveclancy6474]

only 20 took me till I checked YT - thx

[@Jdcakamatsu9]

Thank you for this video!!!

[@gabeslaymaker708]

At the gun store I work at I saw an 80x and I was like "oh mini m9 sick!!!" So ofc I took it apart the $1000 gun. Looked inside got done then tried to put it back together and I was terrified that it wouldn't go back in an M9 way thought I was just out $1000 😭

[@papajoeknows8355]

@@gabeslaymaker708 yeah, it’s a real head scratcher for sure.

[@Silentskip001]

Thank you.

[@RobinVerhulstZ]

question, would it not be possible to lock the slide back using the slide stop and then push the lever to the locked position? works for my 92XP (yes, different gun, but the system doesn't look all that dissimilar)

[@papajoeknows8355]

Great question… I just tried that, but it didn’t work. For some strange reason, it just wants pressure on the barrel to release the lever.

[@MashariqKhan]

Thank You!

[@papajoeknows8355]

You bet 👍🏻

[@allenpence6426]

Thanks just bought mine from bass pro no instruction in box.

[@papajoeknows8355]

Mine didn’t have either.

[@MichaelBurke-f2p]

Not sure that's the way Berretta had intended to do it mine works just like my PX4 if you put the slide on the rails and quickly shove it to the rear everything snaps into place.

[@papajoeknows8355]

Wish mine did… it does occasionally, but it’s very rare.

[@JAMARTELLO]

Quirky little p.o.s. isn't it. I'm not impressed with mine. Not gonna be a primary anyway so it is what it is.

[@GeoffreySage]

Thank you very much… I managed to turn mine into a paperweight for solid hour until I looked up online and found this video. Thank you very much!!

[@jackbratton5952]

Sat there for 10 minutes messing with that lever until I looked it up. Thanks for such a fast and easy video

[@papajoeknows8355]

You bet, glad it helped. 👍🏻

[@kennethschlegel870]

thank you, this was the first problem i ran into right after getting my berretta. Great video, straight to the point.

[@papajoeknows8355]

Glad it helped. 👍🏻

[@GB-4253-]

I tried for about 5min and thought I bet someone made a video. Thank you

[@viking7558]

Most of the model 92 derivatives are the same way. They all require just a little back pressure to slip the pin back into place.

[@dereklewis4321]

God bless. Iv owned several Taurus and Beretta 92s so I was absolutely scratching my head on why this one was working the same way xD

[@gene2049]

Thanks for posting. I experienced the exact problem first time cleaning the 80x. The barrel problem too. Slide would not go back to reassemble.Pushing on the barrel on the table snaps the takedown lever back in to place. Thank you.

[@Incomudro1963]

Thanks for the video! I'm doing the same thing as you, brought home my 80X and I'm familiarizing myself with it. I haven't gone to the range with it yet. Just took it down tonight, and got stuck with that lever bit. It snapped right into place with a push on the barrel from my finger. Thanks again!

[@papajoeknows8355]

You bet. And yes, it’s something of a head scratcher for sure. Also, I’ve run a couple hundred rounds now, and I really enjoy it. Hope you do as well.

[@HenryL161947]

thank you sir for the video ,,,think I might have been up all night otherwise

[@mlangfordcamper]

I have fire arms as well but afraid to make a video on the subject for fear of YT shutting my channel. Have you ever had issues with YT about that before

[@papajoeknows8355]

I wondered the same thing, but I know that others have entire channels devoted to the subject, so I figured I’d try it.

[@benv7922]

Thank You. Quick Explanation

[@jetman1979]

Thank you very much good to know👍🇺🇸

[@Catgat37]

Beretta 81 I had years ago was the same exact way.

[@danyell4401]

Thank you for the video. It took me about 30 minutes trying to reassemble this beauty till I thought hey, I bet someone has a how to video on this 80X. You made it possible for me to it back together. Thanks for the valuable tip.

[@papajoeknows8355]

You bet, glad it helped. 👍🏻

[@raysmith5542]

Thanks Joe, Good to know as I may be buying one, but I have one concern. It seems some people are having a dead trigger issue. A guy on Reddit and I think somewhere else I seen it. I'm hoping Beretta will address it soon. Have you heard anything about this ?

[@papajoeknows8355]

Yes, I did see someone have that problem in a video. I’ve not experienced it, but I’ve only run about 100 rounds. Something to be aware of if you’re thinking of getting one… there is NO cocked & locked with this gun, and I’ve seen some reviewers with big channels saying that there is. Here’s a quick vid I did about it just so you’re aware: Safety Alert Beretta 80X Cheetah kzbin.info/www/bejne/in7VmHuYps-nsM0

[@mattkarres3321]

Thank you.

[@gabork.8715]

Its strange that there is not a manual with the gun, explaining the difference in reassembly from earlier models. Had a 81BB next to this 80X and was not able to turn back the assembly lever as it would not move at all. Finally had to check if somebody else had this problem and solved it. Actually like the 81BB reassebly method better, so wonder why they did this change: pressing the barrel on a board to turn the assembly lever!

[@papajoeknows8355]

Yes, very peculiar. And I thought it was just me that didn’t get a manual.

[@whowantsachannel1983]

Thanks! I forget from one cleaning to the next (months apart). Getting old sucks.

Searched for re-assembly instructions for my 80X as I ran into the same problem you did, and found your video. Worked! Thank you sir. P.s. "snapping" the barrel in place helped immensely, as well as pushing the barrel back w/ the rest of the assembly.

[@papajoeknows8355]

Glad it helped!

[@Bend-Oregon]

@@papajoeknows8355 I just mounted a Holosun Red Dot on this 80X w/ blue thread locker, and now I have a dead firing pin. The pin appears to be flush where the hammer would strike the back of the firing pin. Did thread locker seep in where this red dot is mounted and lock up the firing pin? I was VERY careful about not having any drips to the side of the frame, but I can not see what took place underneath the red dot. Any ideas as to what might have happened?

[@ronvalley1973]

Hi Joe, a friend brought that same pistol over to my farmhouse to shoot and man, I'd never own one of those, as the dang thing made my hand bleed when that humpty part on top came flying back and clipped my hand, and I was watching for it too as I've fired tons of pistols, and, too many parts to it also I noticed. I want a clint eastwood 44 magnum.😅 2:47

[@papajoeknows8355]

That “humpty part” is called the slide lol, and yes, it will definitely bite you if you’re not holding it right… your friend should have showed you how. But yes, I love those revolvers too! 👍🏻
