Thinking about picking up a M9 and wondered if the rear sights are adjustable .
Thanks |

Quoted: Doubt it. They are fired from a rest using a scope at Beretta USA and must group well or they are rebuilt. Shoot again. Not my experience. My new M9 92FS was way off target...others who shot it had the same problem (low and right). I almost got rid of gun, but bought an adjustable sight and a site pusher and replaced the fixed sight. Gun shoots great now. |
| I was having the same problem recently, then this past Friday I decided I would give it another try to see if it was the operator not the firearm and it turns out, I was the problem. I rested my left arm on the rear tire hanging on the back of my SUV and rest my right hand with pistol in it, and was able to shoot a small grouping in to a jug of water about 15-20 yards out |

Quoted: I didn't sand bag my fixed site before replacing it, so I can't rule out operator error. However, I own LOTS of pistols of different types/calibers and have never had this problem. I'm not some expert shot, but I'm a good shot and I couldn't hit sh*t with the M9. My friends who shot it had the same problem...way low and to the right.I was having the same problem recently, then this past Friday I decided I would give it another try to see if it was the operator not the firearm and it turns out, I was the problem.

I'm going to keep testing it with my adj. sight (BTW, if anyone wants to buy my M9 rear site pusher let me know) and post back later. I bench shot it zeroed at 25 yds and it performed pretty well (10" groups). |

Who told you this?  Yeah...I was asking myself the same thing, so I figured I would explore this. Called Beretta Technical Support, got ahold of a fella named Boo @ 205-822-3155 and he kind of laughed this off. They strap it in a shooting vise and pull the trigger, no scope that he has ever heard of. They line of the dots and shoot like the consumer would. If it hits like they test it, throw it back in the box and tell you to keep practicing. |

Quoted: Thanks for the above posts.And to add, what in the world would a scope help? If you using the factory rear sites, the only thing your doing is sighting in the scope, not the Beretta sights lmao. What would be considered acceptable accuracy for the 92FS shooting from a sandbagged bench at 25yds with 115g. FMJ target ammo? |

Who told you this? I have been there. 1989 for a course. After pistols are proof fired and then xrayed for inspection they are then carried to the shoot room. In the shoot room each is put in a rest and a scope that has a mount that fits over the iron sights is put on the pistol so that a better sight picture is gained. Scope is then removed and the pistol shot for group. If group is fine the pistol is put back in the rack, it not fine it is sent to a "armorer" so that he can fix the issue. If military the pistols are only shot using .mil supplied ball. If civilian pistols they are shot using a mix of ball and HP. |

My 92's hit a bit high with 115gr, so I lean towards the 124gr FMJ loads myself. But to answer your question, with decent ammo one should be able to sandbag a group of 2"~ @ 25 yards, IMO. It would not surprise me one whit that one gets much smaller groups from time to time. The 92 series are some amazingly accurate guns. |

I have had this problem since the day I bought the gun. I have always compensated and figured if anyone took it off me, they wouldn't be shoot me with, thereby giving me time to get away or wrestle it back.

Do you have a link to the adjustable sight you bought? |

VTJosh, Nice, I was joking but obviously your inbred sense of humour didn't register it as such but thanks for weighing in. Humor you mean? Too bad us hick country boys who marry our cousins can spell better than you sophisticated westerns. Hur hur hur. Sell you're Beretta, it would be a good idea. At least the next buyer might have a chance of knowing how to operate it. Or take other peoples advice, and try SCOPING it in. |

While the term troll and its associated action trolling are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with trolling being used to describe intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context. For example, recent media accounts have used the term troll to describe "a person who defaces internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families. 2) Never suggested to scope one though I am sure it could be done in some way if you wanted. Till you have driven your happy ass to MD and walked in the doors of BUSA do not pretend to know what goes on in that building. Why the idea of putting a pistol in a rest then placing a scope over the sights so that the shooter can better see the target in the tunnel then removing the scope prior (that means before) to shooting is so hard for someone to grasp is beyond me. Whole process takes just moments but helps to ensure the point the shooter had the pistol aimed at. Believe it or not.....I don't care. 3) If you are old enough, buy a membership here so that you can at least get one of your "full of shit" shirts as you really need one. 4) Press the "Ignore" tab under my post just like I have now done to yours. You offer nothing positive. |

Welcome to a technical forum where such name calling rates a lock out or a banning.
Gents grow up less you wake up with more than a stern warning from a staff member in your in box. This rates among the most childish arguments in this forum ever. Really. Address the posts, not the posters. Thank you, I think the post is done so I'll lock it before locking a few accounts. |
