Beretta Elite ll on a 92 frame

[usmc1974]

I would like to know if you can put a Beretta Elite 2 top end, on a 92 lower.I like the feel of my 92, but would like a fiber optic front sight.

I tried it on one of mine for ya 2 minutes ago and it didnt seem to want to completely lock up properly

My elite II 9mm slide did not lock back with an empty mag in it when it was on a regular 92FS lower

also the slide stop was very difficult to make it engage by hand

The regular 92 FS slide functioned fine on the Elite II lower though

I dont know why, maybe mine are funny

remember the Eite II lower does have an enlarged opening in the grip, and it does help a little with reloads

opening up your magwell post factry is technically an IDPA no no and there are limits in USPSA as too how much you can open your mag hole up for production class

so what Im saying is, just buy an entire pistol.

PS Im pretty sure the following guns can take fiber optic replacement front sights

Beretta border marshal

Beretta 90-Two

Beretta M9A1

the new Beretta 92 coming put post 2010 shot show

It should work. one note is that the brig slides are wider, and the slide stop will rub the slide. You need a slide stop from a gun w/ a brig slide.

I -think- in later years beretta started using the same slide stop on all guns, but I'm not 100% certain and I couldn't tell you when such a change was made.
