Beretta 92 aftermarket sights

[SA85M1]

I have developed an affinity for Beretta 92's and seem to shoot more accurately with them,then any other semi auto pistol.My aging eyes,however find the sights a bit too small for my liking....any suggestions on sight replacements that may help ?...leaning towards Trijicon I think..?


Cheers...R...

I have a laser that mounts right on the dust cover on both the 92fs and the 92a1-eliminates the need for the sights

I had Barry at Bits of Pieces in Delta machine my slide and install XS Big Dot sights. Can't miss 'em!

I thought about a dot type holographic sight,not really a laser..but that could be an option.XS Big Dot sights,are these night sights as well..?...When I change 'em out..may as well have tritium in there...

I have XS sights on most of my pistols and a few rifles/shotguns and they all glow. Not sure if that's standard, but all my models do.

What's a reasonable price range for something like that?

The XS have tritium. They would be my first choice also.

OP, what type of 92 do you have? The FS and older ones all require gunsmithing to mill in the front sight which can end up being an expensive and time consuming proposition.

Do you mean the gunsmithing cost? Seems to me it was $100 or so, very reasonable in my opinion.

Like SA mentioned, the older models will require machining for the front sight so that gets a bit tricky. You'd need to consult with your gunsmith/machinist first as to what they can do up front in order to see what you can get for a rear sight.

Millet used to make an adjustable rear but it required the most hideous front sight to pair up with. Pachmayer had a drop in adjustable rear that was low profile enough that it could use the factory front in most cases.

Brownells doesn't list many options anymore but check Wilson and Novak. Aristocrat used to make a very nice high profile competition sight and Jarvis also. You might be able to find a clean used one on ebay.

Iirc Bomar made a sight rib a long time ago for PPC shooters. Wasn't to much gunsmithing involved and the sights were gorgeous.

Thanks gents...it may be Meprolight for the rear and a tritium tube added up front...maybe...
