Beretta, I screwed up bad. Who can fix this?

Glad it worked out!

What is the old saying Will taught us in class? "Always file the cheap part."

This is why I paid somebody to install mine. First hint of the factory stuff not coming out as expected, and it was off to the smith.

And he bitched about how tight things were.

Yep, that’s it! This is why Glock Neanderthals don’t deserve nice Italian pistols, lol!

I'll change sights on a GLOCK anytime. My Beretta? Nope. Those things are on there forever now.

Decent recovery...

I'd probably call that good enough and wait until the tritium burns out.

Good recovery.

Thirded, I am pretty amazed at how you managed to salvage that based on the first pics. Please be nicer to that poor Beretta going forward.

Everything I read said Beretta dovetails were right to left to remove and that’s how I took out the factory sights.

That is my understanding as well, with Berettas and most guns I’ve worked on. Another way to phrase it is, the sight goes in and comes out from the left side of the gun.

ASH,

I did the same thing to my 92A1 a few years back not knowing how tight the front sight was. Once you get behind the 8 ball with a punch and hammer, its hard to quit. In my case once I knew I'd botched it, I had to drift it back in place to have something usable.

Great recovery.

Battle worn!!!
