Beretta 92 Brig Inox shoots 3" low at 21 feet

[1KPerDay]

Standard sight picture with the (intended) POI at the top of the front sight. If I use a combat sight picture it still hits 1.5" low at 21 FEET. At 20 yards it's ridiculously low. Tried 115, 124, +p jhp, everything prints very very low.

Ideas? People rave about the 92 Brig but to this point I'm failing to see what the big deal is. Trigger is heavy, slide is heavy and feels sluggish even after oiling well, and if I go for a headshot it hits in the sternum. Plus the factory rubber wraparound finger groove grips are very uncomfortable in my large hands. That's an easy fix. Not happy about having to replace the sights though.

They probably use the standard sight for the M9/92FS, and the additional slide weight changes the POI.

I would expect the sights to be different. The Brigadier slide should have a dovetailed front sight, while the M9/92FS front sight is part of the slide.

On the good side, for the OP, because the Brigadier has a dovetailed front sight, you should be able to change it out.

You should have gotten a WILSON.

I've yet to hear of such issues issues with the vaunted WILSON BRIG TAC. Tremendously better guns than stock spaghetti.

Hadn't thought of that; you're right the front is milled into the slide on the M9....Mea Culpa. Maybe they are the same height, though. At least it can be changed out.

You buying?

 

[mjsdwash]

just to clarify, feet or inches?

 

[1KPerDay]

Inches. Anyone know the calculations for determining how much height difference I need?

 

[CDW4ME]

147 grain ammo should impact higher than 115/124

I don't, but here is Dawson's math... https://dawsonprecision.com/sight-calculator/

thankee kindly

measured everything and it says I need a .115" tall front sight... the shortest they offer is .130. Maybe I'll have to swap the rear also.

the brigadier only goes down to .130 but the brig elite goes to .115"... anyone know the difference in these models? will the elite front sight fit the standard 92fs Brig dovetail?
