Beretta 92 FS Compact (and general Beretta love lately)

That sounds like a really smart idea.

Being sarcastic, but if you guys are thinking about what should be done, you can likely bet it has been discussed and most likely it is coming. Look for really great things in the next say...... 4 months.

Just in time for my birthday. Hmmmm...

Sounds like I'll be buying some more pistols from you.

Staying tuned!

I've always felt the compact 92s just didn't get the attention they deserved from Beretta in order to be successful here.

That's great news from Mr. Langdon, I'm definitely in for one . Hopefully it will have the same order options as the LTT Elite as mine only has the trigger job.
I have the Beretta/ Wilson combat 92gcc with the trigger job and I had Wilson drill the sight post for the F.O rods.

Man, so you’re telling me I may be ordering a decked out Elite LTT and matching compact in the very near future? I can see matching guns with carry bevels, trigger jobs, and NP3.

I have that same gun and have been carrying it lately in a Milt Sparks VM2. I wish mine had the fiber optic front sight option like yours, although I do like the simple white dot front much more than I thought I would. Still, a red fiber optic front would be better.

If you are handy w/ tools it's not to difficult to drill a B92 fixed front sight for FO. this is my 92G

Dang, I need to take another picture now that I have touched up my goof. Do the cross filing first. The the drilling is easier since less metal to get through. One of the common FO diameters is .060 inch. So I used a standard 1/16 inch (.0625"). I got a piece of 1/4" brass rod about 7 inches long. Drilled a hole in the end w/ the 1/16" bit. Installed the bit in the end of the rod and hit it w/ a hammer a couple times. When it started to move in the rod I pulled it out and dremeled a small flat on the shank. Put it back and hammered it again. I think I will use a steel rod if I do it again. Having the long extension allowed me to drill from the rear of the sight w/ only a very slight angle. This not quite as good as my Dawsons since the FO is shorter, but it works just fine.

That looks like it will allow a lot more light in than what Wilson does. I had them do my 92G Compact, and it only gets a little light from the end of the fiber rod.

Very cool, but way beyond my skill level.

Can you get all black thin grips for the 92FS compact? I think Wilson might make some but I do not like how much their logo sticks out. I’m a plain and boring kind of guy .
