Re: Beretta Bobcat Dimples?
Check to see if there was ever any recall on those. Might indicate it was fixed…
Re: Beretta Bobcat Dimples?
🤔 possibly balance or shaving off on weight how's the function flawless any stove pipes failure to eject ?
Re: Beretta Bobcat Dimples?
I have a blued one. No dimples.
Definately cannot dry fire that one without snap caps. It will cease to eject

Re: Beretta Bobcat Dimples?
Those dimples are from the hardness testing that is done during manufacturing after heat treat. Pretty typical and nothing to worry about.
Not all slides have the dimples since not all slides are tested. They sample a certain number of slides from each production batch to test.

No. Those are too deep for hardness testing on any hardness scale that I'm familiar with. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

Bad JIG at time of machining ? Just a guess .
Re: Beretta Bobcat Dimples?
Is it purchased new by you, so it's something the factory did, or used and something a previous owner did.
It does not look drilled...the domes are too rounded.
I just checked our Tomcat (.32, same configuration as the Bobcat) and there are no dimples in the slide. Will check our Bobcat for them when wife tells me where she put it.
No marks on the Bobcat either.
