Beretta xtrema help

I broke a tiny pin in my beretta xtrema 2. Best I can tell by looking at the exploded view its an ejector pin. That little pin holds in another pin I guess. Where could I find one of these pins? Brownells.com is back ordered.

I broke/lost my ejector pin last year... took it to the Gunsmith and He ordered a new one from Beretta, later found the barrel cracked where the pin goes... got a new barrel from Beretta and all is good now...
This gun has had thousands of rounds shot thru it from 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 and it still works great...

Try Cole gunsmithing if Beretta doesn't have one.
I'd be surprised if Beretta does have one, it took about 4 months of backorder for mine to come in. That pin is some sort of double roll pin that I wasn't able to find locally.

They also have a quality issue on that particular part too. Seems there were some soft pins got into guns bout 3 years ago. It really needs to be sent back to Beretta.

I just thought about it, if you haven't ordered the part yet go ahead and get a new ejector too. I'd be surprised if the one in your gun is not deformed.
Neither of these parts cost much, and you can replace them yourself.

It seems to be fixed. There was a metal issue manufactured 3 years ago in which some of the Extrema 2's were effected. Problems incurred such as excess wear on the bolt pin and breakege of the ejector pins. When this happens you usually lose the whole thing, ejector, extractor, pin and spring. The other problem was when the bolt pin wore you would break the firing pin. This pin needs to be rotated 180 degrees everytime the bolt comes out of the gun anyway to help prevent undue wear.
