Glock sight on a Beretta

[03RN]

My biggest complaint of berettas are the front sight. Ive thought a option might be to knock off the frobt sight and fashion a hole to fit a glock front sight.

Hows that sound?

I imagine a good enough machinist could get it done. Thing is, there’s loads of models out there now with dovetail front sights. That makes me question the need to have a slide machined. The Vertec slides show up for sale on BUSA’s website from time to time.

Im eagerly waiting for compact slides with dovetailed front sights.

Yeah, that $300 price tag kills it for me

Wilson Combat shows $50 to put a fiber optic rod in a fixed front sight

My old cop gun will eventually have the dead tube replaced by a brass bead, just like my GP100 MC.

I installed a gold bead a couple years ago. Its better than the stock front sight but I still prefer tritium.

Midwest Gun Works has 92FS slides in stock for $257:

It maybe an expensive sort of experiment, but if you have a gunsmith you trust, you could get a Glock front sight and have the smith mill off the Beretta front sight and attempt the hole for the Glock.

You would need to also drill a big hole in the bottom of the slide to access the bottom of the nut to tighten it. That may compromise the structural integrity.

Any Glock 17 holster suggestions?

[Hambo]

If you wait until you get older, you can paint the entire front blade orange so you can see it. There's no cheap solution for retrofitting 92F/FS slides.

Wait for LTT optics cut slides to come out

I thought about that. I thought maybe a tiny crescent wrench might do the trick

How would you tighten the nut?

I’m in the same boat. I have a 92fs and an M9a1 I wish I could just swap out front sights. I think I am going to sell them and get another 92LTT with trigger job straight from Langdon.
Personally I’m over tritium. I have replaced too many sights that died from An use or age. I would much rather have a white light on the gun. Plus after the first round or two at night I can’t see the tritium anymore. With my no longer young eyes I want color on my front sight.

Idk, 10-15° at a time?

I like tritium for dawn and dusk, full moons, ambient light like urban areas with streetlights. Its a really narrow niche but Ive shot a ton of stuff at those times

If someone was modding slides to take Glock sights then I would have bought up every Centurion and M9A1 on Gunbroker. I think the best bet would be for someone to make a 90* tool to tighten the nut in the slide.
