I have a 930 SPX and I love it, runs like a top on all ammo. The bolt handle has started falling out, anyone else had this happen and will the after market ones available solve the problem? Google turned up little.

What holds the handle in, is there a detent pin or ball and spring in the bolt or slide? Since the handle is notched the culprit would likely be whatever the detent engages in the bolt or slide.

Which bolt handle do you have now?  Mine came with gg&g from the factory

Ok, apparently there is a plunger inside the slide that is what the handle engages. If there's gunk in it or the plunger spring is worn out it won't hold the bolt handle in. You need to see that the plunger is free and functioning I'd  clean it out with some brake cleaner or gunk out first then take a small flat tip screwdriver and make sure its working by pressing it down and seeing if it pops back up or if it's sticking.

Thanks, will look into this, sounds like the culprit.
