I have Mec Gar sights on my 92 and they do not have enough adjustment. Anyone have adjustable sights? Any recommendations? I have found sights by Beretta and Precision Sights International (PSI). |

Thanks for the welcome. Here are the Beretta adjustable sights Here are the PSI sights I read on another forum that they are the same. I don't know if that is a fact or not. They both look just like the Mec Gar. The Mec Gar would work fine if there was more travel. I probably will get one of these. Hope someone chimes in with personal experience. |
What kind of problem do you have that you don't have enough travel? TXL and welcome to arfcom |
They might be the same, Beretta often does this such as using Hogue grips. Like TxLewis said, what are you trying to overcome with the adjustable sights? Do you need more windage or more elevation? And is the slide Vertec, Brigadier or regular? If it is a Vertec or Brigadier slide with the dovetailed front sight and you need more elevation then you may be better served with a different front post that is taller or shorter. Also, if it has the dovetail front sight and you need windage then you could try drifting the sight as needed. The main thing though is that before you do any of the above, are you sure it's the sights? Changing the sights is the wrong solution for a grip problem. |

Sights do not have enough vertical travel. It is close to hammer but there is enough room for the travel I need. Have a regular 92F, no dovetailed front. I don't see how grips get into this. I was shooting from a rest. I will probably try the PSI or Beretta sights. If I do I will report what I find. Seems Flamethrower is having the same problem I have. |
Grip has a huge impact if your trigger finger isn't pulling straight back or is dragging on the frame, either of which can push the pistol to the side as you fire. I'm not familiar with the sight you're using, but could it be mounted out of center? Is it in a dovetail mount so you could drift it to one side to give you the adjustment you need? |

People learning to shoot Beretta 92 series handguns often fire 4-6 inches low due tio the grip they use being accepted by the pistol differently from other handguns. SIG,Glock,and 1911 shooters who are experienced shots will sometimes experience this. It is not the gun or sights. It isn't even flinching. You literally need to shoot the gun a lot more. Your group location will improve with regular (weekly) pracrice. I know because I have been through/going through this. Leave the sights alone, slow down and squeeze the trigger. SHoot more ammo more frequenly |
