Russty Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I'm looking for wide rear sights for my Beretta 92. I'm competing with a CZ 75 SP 01 with a wide Dawson rear and I don't seem to be able to find how wide Beretta rear sights can be. Dawson doesn't show a rear sight for them. My eye is kinda spoiled for that big black chunk of a rear on my CZ and I'm looking to recreate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigS Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 File or dremel? I'd measure the front sights on both guns first and then the rears. Within reason you want the difference between the front and rear to equal what you like on the CZ. I 'think' I remember that the Novak rears on the EliteII were wider than stock so you might want to check them.

Russty Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 I'm sorry. I wasn't clear. I want the extra width of the sight to be the outside, not a wider notch. I like how a wider sight really helps me target focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigS Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 JB Weld then. To make it easier to get a given width increase and a nice flat surface use the JB to glue small pieces of sheet metal onto the sides of the rear sight. JB is kind of runny so I'd glue onto one side at a time and set the sight down w/ that side down. One other option would be an adjustable sight.

Russty Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Ok, thanks for pointing this out. Before posting the question here, had checked out the Beretta site sights (see what I did there?) and was frustrated that they never show the sight mounted on a gun or provide measurements. But, after your post I dug deeper and read the reviews. There is one wider, about as wide as can be done because of the safety, clearing the safety by 0.025". This one - https://www.beretta.com/en-us/gun-accessories/handguns/sights/beretta-92-96-target-adjustable-rear-sight/. So, there is that. But, this doesn't get me into CZ territory, only adding 2 mm per side. Which, I now realize is the best I can get, with the safety poking up. So, final answer, just get used to the Beretta. Thanks for the advice, it was worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigS Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I don't get what you mean by 'safety poking up'. Looking at the side view 92 FS Inox Pistol | Beretta and at my guns, the bottom of the dovetail gets near the left side safety but the portion that is actually the sight is a few 1/1000s of an inch above the top surface of the slide. I am pretty sure the sight you linked will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryde Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I had the same problem as you and this is exactly what I was looking for and works great for me. Scroll to the bottom of the page. They are currently closed for 3 weeks but I purchased a few sets from them 1-2 months ago. https://www.aristocratproducts.com/page4.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russty Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 Thanks! The plain black looks like a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
