Mods - feel free to combine this with the BIG 92 thread if needed.
I've been a Beretta Fan ever since shooting my first one back in 1994. It was what I carried in the .mil for 12 years and has become my sentimental favorite as well as bedside gun. I carry an HK at work and while I like the platform - I don't feel the love. I've also had a "fling" for a few years with the Sig P series pistols but went back to the Beretta because I can shoot it better (dropped my FAST time 1 second the moment I switched). For the past 2 years my railed 92 Compact has been my primary range gun and I see myself sticking with the platform for the foreseeable future with a certain amount of time dedicated to the HK to keep myself competent. Also my familiarity with the gun and ample stock of pre-ban magazines make it really easy to stay with.
Now that the 92 has reached a Renaissance and everything from the Wilson Customs to the LTT have been released I want one or both. The problem is that I live in Kalifornia and have no special LEO powers so I can not legally buy one (Thanks Arnold and Kamala).
Going forward I would like to have one gun for carry and one for competition. I have a classic (pre 2000) 92, a railed 92 Compact, and a 92 Elite. My current plan is to work my 92 Elite into my competition gun and my 92 railed compact into my carry gun. Both these guns have already been equipped with Wilson Combat G2 grips. I also have an idea about building an M9A1 (which my Glorious Commissars have deemed me worthy to purchase) into as close as I can get to an LTT or Wilson gun.
My question for every one is what would you do in my shoes?
Reading through the USPSA rule book it seems that I can add pretty much whatever sights I want and have the trigger worked and still keep it legal for production. What sights? Is the LT "trigger job in a bag" worth it or would you send it into Wilson or Ernest? Could I have the front strap checkered like the Wilson and keep it production legal?
As far as my Railed 92C - I'm pretty happy with everything about it other than the front sight. It seems that tritium sights can no longer be added to the milled front sights but I really want a better low light front sight. I see Wilson is doing a fiber optic modification for the front sights that looks nice and neat but is it worth it. All the open fiber optic modification look too fragile to me for a carry gun. Are there other options?
Opinions Please?
