Beretta 92/96 Target Adjustable Rear Sight Reviews

You can get the sight in using the tool, but then cannot get the tool off the slide, as the sight is too wide at the back. You wouldn't know this unless you tried it yourself or found it in the FAQ - or both. It should be spelled out here and now it is.

The addition of this sight to my 92FS, has made a WORLD of difference. Like a new gun! It has taken the gun from an "approximate shooter", to where I can now place my shots anywhere I want them. I might even start using it for bulls-eye. Definitely a worthwhile investment. It is now one of my favorite everyday shooters.

Good upgrade for your pistol. But...it wasn't a drop in part. I had to file it to get it to fit dovetail, and you have to grind a little on left side underneath to keep it from interfering with the safety.

The sight installation tool associated with the Beretta 92/96 Target Adjustable Rear Sight WILL NOT help in mounting it on the slide. You may install the sight but there is no way to separate the tool from the slide afterwards because the sight is too wide. I bought both, informed Beretta of the situation and they said "oh" and that the product association would be corrected; it is now 2014 and obviously they did not follow through. Just be aware.

READING REVIEWS ON DECOCKER HITTING SIGHTS AND THE GRINDING OF SIGHT OR SAFETY/DECOCKER TO MAKE IT WORK, I WAS LEARLY OF THE PURCHASE OF THIS SIGHT. I BOUGHT IT ANYWAY. PUT SLIDE ON 92 COMPACT, USING JAW PROTECTED VICE AND USED ALUMINUM SQUARE PUNCH AND HAMMER. TAP SIGHT OUT RIGHT TO LEFT,,,VERY IMPORTANT AS SIGHT WILL NOT COME OUT THE OTHER WAY. FACTORY REAR SIGHT CAME OUT WITHOUT A HITCH. USING A 60 DEGREE ( DOVE TAIL FILE) I GOT A CUP OF COFFEE AND SLOWLY WORKED ONE SIDE OF SIGHT UNTIL IT WENT INTO SLIDE'S DOVETAIL ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY. THEN CLEANED SIGHT, REBLUED FILED AREA AND USING ALUMINUM SQUARE PUNCH, TAPPED SIGHT INTO DOVETAIL UNTIL CENTERED. WOW, THE DECOCKER CLEARED THE SIGHT BY ABOUT .025... ALL MY WORRY WAS IN VAIN...GREAT SIGHT, INSTALLING WAS FUN. TAKE YOUR TIME AND REMEMBER TO REMOVE FACTORY SIGHT RIGHT TO LEFT LOOKING DOWN SLIDE AS IF YOU WERE SHOOTING. AND REPLACE ADJUSTABLE SIGHT LEFT TO RIGHT. ORDERED FROM BERETTA ON WEBSITE. DELEVERY WAS FAST.

This sight is excellent, improved the accuracy of my 92A1 by 50% when installed. Not only that, but the friendly and courteous Beretta customer service folks provide exceptional customer care. When there was a problem with shipment they went the extra mile to ensure that my sight arrived in a very timely manner. I shop a lot on line, and Beretta's commitment to the customer is at the top of the scale. Thanks!

Agree with other review that it is hard to get the sight adjuster tool off once installed, you have to depress the rear of sight and it still won't clear, also over hangs hammer and makes it hard to thumb pull the hammer back. Would not recommend

I went from low left with my factory sights to dead on with the new sight. I had Williams gun sight install the sight. Love my gun now

Had this sight installed on Beretta 92fs. I always shot low with factory sights. After zeroing, I am now right on the money. Solid well constructed sight.

I got this sight to replace the fixed rear sight on my 92FS Inox. I was able to use a brass drift to hammer out the old rear sight. I carefully clamped the slide in a vise with brass jaws. Installation of the new rear sight required me to gently file the dovetail until it slid firmly onto the slide. Fortunately, there is a set screw on the sight to lock it onto the slide to further insure solid installation. I found that I needed to use up almost all the elevation range to get the zero I wanted. But I had just enough. Now I can shoot bullseyes with complete control.
