I have a new 686 4" with a Dawson Precision tritium front sight which is .230" tall. Currently, I have the S&W factory rear sight and I have to bottom out the elevation in order to get it on paper at 25yds. Even with the rear sight bottomed out, I still need to use a 6-o-clock hold to hit, which I personally do not like. Seems like the Dawson front sight is a bit shorter than the factory front sight. My issue is finding a plain black rear sight that would work well with this front sight. I'm not a huge fan of the factory rears and especially not a fan of the rear outlines. Does anybody know if the Cylinder-Slide extreme duty fixed rear sight would work with my front sight? Or what other brands are out there with the necessary adjustment or proper sight height?

The FS and G frames are exactly the same. You would have to research the serial number to see if the frame was sold in "original factory condition" as a G model and not an FS. That's assuming you could even do that at all...

Yes. My 92FS has a decocker. I'm not that familiar with the platform but I had thought all of them were deockers. EDIT: Wait, you're referring to a decocker-ONLY and not a safety/decocker aren't you? Sorry. I was thinking decocker vs cocked n' locked. In that case I think all the 92FS models have safety/decockers. Yes, I'm referring to decocker only. yes, all the 'G' variants are all decocker only. They were special run variants mainly for police/military contracts back in the 80s and 90s. As a result, they are difficult to find now-a-days. They are really the ideal setup as it prevents the very real possibility of accidently engaging the 'FS' safety. Versions made include: 92G 92G Centurion 92G Compact 92G Vertec 92G Elite I/II 92G Brigadier

Like a lot of Beretta 92 enthusiasts, I am less than pleased with Beretta's decision to stop producing the 92G series of guns. To remedy this, I purchased a 92G slide to put on my 92FS frame. I also have a 92G Centurion slide on my 92FS Compact frame (for carry). The two FS frames sit in the back of the safe unless I am shooting a match, because I was always under the impression that this sort of "frankengun" modification was not legal for IDPA and USPSA. The frame is the serialized component of the 92. Is my assumption right? I took a look at the rulebooks and couldn't see anything explicitly prohibiting that.
