This is an older 92fs surplus. It looked in good shape carried more than shot. I just can’t shoot it. I can clover leaf my 357 but I’m 3” low or worse with this. Any help would be appreciated. This is what I’m working with. Should I just get a gun smith to install new sights and what ones?

Impossible to say without seeing you shoot... or shooting it myself.

3" low at what distance? Are you holding on? Or 6-o-clock?

Are you experienced as an automatic pistol shooter? Or primarily revolvers?

Normally low impact is caused by anticipation, or poor trigger manipulation, and I assume the tripper pull is significantly heavier on the beretta than it is on your .357.
 
I’m about 25’ . I tried a six o’clock hold, poa on target and then just shutting my eyes and praying�� with similar results. I can shoot my 1911 just fine and the other autos just not this one. I gave the 92 a WC spring kit that made it much better and LOK ultra thin grips which made my grip much better.
 
I just bought a Girsan Regard (Beretta 92 clone) and also had trouble shooting it. Read up on it later and apparently the Beretta 92's are set up for a combat sight, not 6 o'clock like I'm used to, which would explain why I couldn't hit the target until I felt like I was aiming high (well, that and the fact that I'm bad)
 
If they give you a dot, odds are they want you to "drive the dot". Centre the dot, also the single action pull does require a shift in finger position on the trigger from the double action pull.

Not sure all this talk about combat hold. Pardon my ignorance but when would you ever not aim for the centre of the target you want to hit.

My question is does the phrase = equal light (left and right) equal height (across the front and rear sight) still apply?

Perhaps the centre of the white dot on the front needs to be inline with the top of the rear sight?

+1 for needing to get together and shoot it. POI shouldnt change much from one shooter to the next but most combat pistols have interchangeable blade heights for a reason.
 
I have a Grand Power X-Caliber with adjustable sights that hits centre bull with a 6 o-clock hold. Both my Walther P1 and Inglis with fixed sights shoot low. You just have to adjust your hold unless you want to file down the front sight.

Click to expand...

Equal light and equal height still applies. The difference is instead of putting your intended POI on top of the front sight blade, you put your POA under the dot, which would bring your shot up.

Edit:^^^ Dietz has it.
 
The sights won't be the problem. Use 124 gr bullets and use Center Mass Hold as illustrated above. That is the hold I use with my Berettas and a Girsan. If the bullet goes anywhere but in the center of the bull the fault lies with me or the bullet just decided to go where it wanted to...come on it could happen. The fault usually (always) lies with me. LOL When I am off it almost always me dipping.
