Answer 1

Bound's hubby here:

Chances are very good that your Beretta 92 has fixed sights. If this is the case, your pistol should be sighted close to point of aim at 25 yards with service ball ammo (likely 124 grain FMJ RN).

First, there should be an index mark on the top of the slide near the rear sight ... make sure the notch of the rear sight is centered on this index mark.
Second, test fire your pistol (single action) over sandbags at dinner sized paper plates at 25 yards with 124 grain FMJ. Use both hands, resting your wrists and the grip on the sandbags. Coc k hte hammer by hand, and gently squeeze the trigger. Fire several 5 round clips in this process. The more you do this, the tighter your groups will become. Do not coc k the hammer by squeezing the trigger ... this will ruin any groups you try to make.
Third, analyze your target. It will tell you what you are doing wrong.
a) If your shots are low, you are jerking the trigger and pushing the muzzle of the pistol down in anticipation of recoil.
b) If your shots group around left of center, you do not have enough finger on the trigger.
c) If your pistol groups around right of center, you have too much finger on the trigger.
d) If your pistol groups high, you may not be "locking" your wrist and elbow.

When you prepare to shoot, place the pistol in your shooting hand. With you hand open, place the pistol in the web of your hand, with the barrel in line with the center line of your forearm. If you hold the pistol improperly, your shots will go too far left or right of center. Also, if you have failures to feed or eject, you may not be locking your elbow or wrist.

Shooting a pistol well takes work. You jsut do not pick it up, load it, and pull the trigger. Your Beretta should group about a 4" circle at 25 yards, and about 6" at 50 yards. This pistol is currently being accurized by the Marines and Army for national match competition, it is capable of exceptional accuracy!

Answer 5

Berettas have fixed sights. the only way to adjust for windage is to tap the rear sight over in the direction you want the groupd to go. If you look at the dovetail the sight is in you can see if it is in the center or at least very close to it. If it is the bad news is its your shooting not the gun.

Handguns are set to be dead on at 15 yards not 25. For 9mm it is with 115 grain.

Try shooting using the outline of the sights and not the dots. Three dot sights are made for quick reference shot. If you see the three dots you know you will get a hit on a standard size target. But if you look at the sights and line them up then look at the outline the top of front sight is usually sitting below the top of the rear sight. Which will usually cause the shooter to shoot 4 to 6 inches low at 7 to 15 yards.

If your sights are accually off (I.E. not in the center of the dovetail) have it drifted back to center. You need a good smooth jaw vise, brass punch and hammer.

The formula for figuring how much to move it is:

how far your off in inches X the distance between the sights, then that number divided by the distance to the target in inches.

the final number is how far you need to adjust the sight in thousands. This is for windage only.

You can use for elevation but if you do anything to the front sight you go the oppitsit direction. ( if it shoots low you lower the hieght of the front sight, if it shoots high you put a taller front sight on to lower the group)

hope this helps

You're putting the center dot on top of the bull's eye, correct? It's an Italian pistol, and European pistols are aimed with the center of the front sight, not the top edge. Besides that, make sure you're shooting good ammunition. You can't adjust elevation on a 92F without buying a target rear sight... There's no adjustment on the combat sights.

i don't know if it has an adjustment. some do . but not all. I have a H&K USP cal.40 s&w
no rear or front adjustment. but they make a version that does. realisticly how for are you going to try to his something consistantly anyway? its a handgun. here are i few things that have worked for me when getting used to a new gun. first unload weapon. stand in front of mirror use your eye ,the front site , the rear and the mirror to make a stright line back to your eye. you will see what i am talking about when you try it. after that try your stright line at bottom of target. then top of target. then center. and dont forget to relax and squeez slowly. to shoot and be accurate . isnt done the way the portray it in the movies.
92f high cap. mags and a proven weapon congratulations be safe. maintain and respect it . be responsibly safe. dont let it fall into the wrongs hands. kids are who i am talking about.
goodluck ,enjoy and good shooting

Take lessons from experienced shooters. Find them at the gun club, shooting range, or a gun store.

They can advise you about the specific gun. Pistols are very inaccurate. If your finger twitches your aim will be off by yards.
Pistols are only accurate at close range, up to 25 feet, unless you're Wild Bill Hickcock.

Answer 9

adjusting the rear site works opposite of where it hits.shooting low? raise back site..hitting left? move site to right. your Beretta is an excellent reliable pistol.
