Hitzy, from the sounds of that, they need to fit the bushing to the barrel, then fit the barrel to the frame, so from Canada, nearly impossible.
I hope I am missing something and its easier than that??

ahh, cool. too bad I just placed an order to them last night...
A bushing can be fit to the barrel by a smith very easily. Brownell's sells one for $20.
i CAN'TFIND THAT ON THE BROWNELL'S WEBSITE. nOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THAT. i FIND IT AWKWARD. PART #?

So it looks like the barrel gets turned down, bushing slips on, then a lock nut of sorts is threaded to the end....let us know if you go that route.

There was a company, I think it was Millet that offered a set of sights for the 92 where the front sight had a couple screws that acted as pressure points to keep the barrel aligned.don't know if they still make it or not.
Another option is to look up the guns the USMC pistol team uses and what they do to their Berettas.

The Millet front sight requires a hole to be drilled in the factory front sight so that it can be attached via roll pin to it. It then has small, replaceable nylon feet that put pressure on the barrel. Whether or not they work is debatable. As is the typical bushings you can get fitted. I have a nice cracked slide in my gun room from a 96 I had done many years back. The gun was wildly inaccurate in my hands and I had the bushing fitted by a local smith. After about 250 rounds the slide cracked. Stoeger actually replaced the slide at no cost as the smith provided me with a letter stating how horrible it was prior to the bushing being fitted. I'm still amazed by that. The new slide did work much better and the gun ended up firing over 150,000 rounds through it with that slide. It has now has a 92G Elite II slide on it. My previous 92FS has the Millet sight attached to it, and I think it was as much my practice back in the early 90s as it was the new sights (had an adjustable rear fitted to it too) that made me shoot better.
The bushing in the pics above looks to be the one from the Beretta Stock pistol, not one you'd have fitted. Or at least very similar.

Normal any 92 that actually gets shot has wear on the barrel where it locks up aganst the slide when pulled back.
