Gripe: @#$@# Beretta 92FS Slide!

[BerettaNut92]

Why oh why doesn't Beretta have a dovetailed front sight for the 92FS?!?! The Brigadier and Vertecs have them. Beretta shouldn't be worried about Brigadiers not moving even if they dovetail the 92FS slide, because some folks might or might not want a beefy slide; but if we want a 92FS with a dovetailed frontsight we're forced to go with the Brigadier. While I can still have Trijicon drill and insert a nightsight for me on a 92FS, I'm SOL if I want a Heinie serrated frontsight, or whatever...

How hard would it be for them just to fit the 92FS' with the slide that the Vertecs have now?!?!

:banghead:

How hard would it be to machine (or weld and machine) the FS slide to accept a Vertec sight?

Alternately, how about a screw on (Glock replacement) or staked (1911) sight on your prepared slide?


I have a pistol with a non-removable rear sight, but it's a nice sight and it hasn't bothered me; no need to replace it.

 

[WonderNine]

It would be nice to have the option on a regular slide, but I can't sympathize with you too much because I don't like the brig slide OR dovetail sight

 

[Sven]

Just get a damn 1911, Skunk.

 

[WonderNine]

Screw that, get a BHP.

 

[George Hill]

I am sure there are gunsmiths out there that can cut the front sight and fit any sight system you want on there for you.

Personally, I'd love a set of Ashleys on mine. Maybe someday I'll have that done.

Sven,

Just get a damn 1911, Skunk.

But but...I LIKE my pizzagun

 

[cool45auto]

Skunk, buddy, what is this, like the fourth or fifth time I've told you to go ahead and get the Vertec? I can't believe you haven't gotten one because it has the oh so tactical rail on it!

 

[faustulus]

I know maybe Beretta could make one with the dovetails and a frame mounted safety then NOT IMPORT IT TO AMERICA!

 

[Andrew Wyatt]

I can probably do the milling operations necessary to make it accept normal sights. and i'd like to shoot a P7.

 

[Tamara]

I'm not sure there's enough meat on the front of a standard 92FS slide to accept a dovetail. That's why they sell those doofy little "hats" for the front sight.

 

[BerettaNut92]

Tamara, out of curiosity, does your D model have a standard or Brigadier slide? Is it dovetailed?

 

[Tamara]

Standard slide, no dovetail.

Don't get me started on that one....

What hats? As for not enough meat, I think the FS' should be fitted with Vertec slides...me thinks they'll fit the same holsters.

Could be worst. Someone from Florida could have a Beretta Billenium F/S

Sorry Skunk I couldnt resist!!!!

 

[BerettaNut92]

Watch that mouth of yers, a 147gr Ranger SXT produces the same results from my 92G as one of them thar Billenia

 

[45R]

Ouch.....my feelings are hurt. Shouldnt you have given the 147gr line to the sucker who was peeing near you CRV.


Seriously Skunk I hope you find that Beretta in CA

Good luck

The sight Tamara is refering to is a slip over plastic thingie with a tritium insert that fits over the factory dovetail free Beretta sight

 

[Island Beretta]

4Truck,

Howdy!! Where can I get the front sight 'hat' to purchase??
