I shot at a club years ago without my guns. Their rental was a beretta o/u that was tight when closed but so loose and wobbly when open I thought it would fall apart. Whether through mishandling, I assume guys let it fall open hard and slam closed, or just use the trunnions had become worn and not replaced. I don't think, at least in the Beretta design, one thing affects the other, in other words it can be loose when open and still lock up tight when closed.

My Beretta opens easy and locks tight.

It's the ridiculous inference you were making about gunsmiths getting rich that a few of us objected to. Not whether the OP has a real problem or an easily fixed problem. Have you ever met a wealthy gunsmith who earns his living by fixing guns?
