Changing sights on Beretta M9

[SpaldingPM]

So I want to put some better sight on the m9 (night friendly). As this is my preferred OC choice.
One problem... the sights are fixed! I like the traditional single middle rear dot as opposed to the 92fs's double dot set up, but how the hell can I add some new sights?

You are pretty much limited with the front sight, although there are a few custom gunsmiths that install either a taller sight that mount over the factory sight, or modifies the slide.

If you want night sights, call Trijicon and they will give you instructions of where to send the slide to be modified and have night sights installed. Nice folks, really professional.

The rear sight should be a normal dovetail mounted sight. Check brownells, I am sure they can fix you up with something that you like better.

I have also done pretty well with painting the dots black for a bullseye target pistol.

In the summertime you can just catch a lightning bug and just smash it tail on the front sight. That will glow for a while. In the winter time you will just have to stay home at night.

I hope this helps. I am only trying to get 50 quality posts so I can sell a junk handgun in the classified section.

Same boat with 92FS... Duracoat has paint that they say is as bright as most night sights... Was considering it on mine, figure $16 plus shipping may be better start than $160 plus shipping plus FFL to get Slide back to have it bored to have sight installed is better for standing with my wife.

On a brigadier slide, there is enough material for a gunsmith to cut out a dovetail for the front.

Other than that, I think you're limited to sending the slide in to Tooltech.

^^^^^ Tooltech is extremely popular with the Beretta community for adding night sights to Beretta slides.

From what I've heard, they are very quick with turn around times.

I have XS Big Dot sights on my 92F. I sent the slide directly to XS Sights and they milled a shallow dovetail in the front of the slide for $60 as I recall. They installed the sights also. Even though I only shipped them the slide, the sights were perfectly on target when I assembled and shot the pistol. I have these sights on all my pistols and love the 24/7 night version.

Could be an option for ya...if you want to go with that style of sight.

Looks like $175.00 from Tooltech.

Probably the best way to go.
