Is the factory barrel long enough to allow sufficient number of threads for a suppressor, or do I need a longer barrel?

Very nice! Are the factory sights still useable with the suppressor?

No they are not.

I've had the chance of shooting someone else's suppressed 92FS with stock sights and I didn't have a problem hitting 5/5 at steel plate (about 5" by 10") from about 10 yards. I just shot both eyes open and superimposed the sights where I would normally put them.

You could get yourself a Vertec or Brigadier slide which have the front sight dovetailed and then install taller sights.

I have no trouble with the factory sights due mostly to the fact that I shoot with both eyes open effectively "shooting through the can" as they say. It works well for me but, "as they say", YMMV.

Sorry to threadjack, but whats the average cost savings between paying to thread a barrel vs. buying a pre-threaded one?

I charge $75 to thread a barrel, most quality pre-threaded ones will run in the $150-200 range.

I had Tornado Tech thread my factory barrel and add an extension for the 13.5mm threads. Works great

The pistols work fine both with and without the suppressor?
Is there any modifications made to the pistols to run with the suppressors?

The only problems I've had were ammo related. In that I got a bad batch of Wolf/Tula and they were a wee bit under powered. I would either get stove pipes or failures to extract.

And other than a threaded barrel you don't need to do a thing.

Because the Beretta's barrel does not tilt during cycling like a 1911/Glock/etc. need to, adding a suppressor (if the threading is well done) will not affect general reliability.
