Here we go
A friend bought a used Beretta 92 Compact, along with several magazines plus some other goodies for the obscenely low price of $250. He's fired it already, loves everything about it. One problem: for some reason, the drift adjustable rear sight is positioned a good bit to one side. And he tells me his groups are also *way* to one side. I haven't seen the gun, but will be going shooting with him tomorrow. He's of the opinion that centering the rear sight is needed. He's a sharp guy, I'm assuming that his mental geometry is correct. After I see the gun tomorrow and apply my mental prowess :shock: to the problem to see if I agree centering them will be a step in the correct direction, the fun begins.
I've never done it.
The manual simply states that it is "drift adjustable". He's already tried carefully... it isn't moving, and he's smart enough to not just get a bigger hammer without seeking advice. I know "B-Square" sells a sight pusher for it, but it's a $40 unit. Is there a better way that is safe and smart, and cheaper?
I'm hoping some of you have been there and done that. Or at least can advise me what *not* to do, which is also invaluable.
By the way... I work 3rd shift in a factory that has a machine shop. I have access to toolmakers and serious machines at an hour that allows for potential "Government Projects". A sight pusher could probably be arranged, if need be. I'm just wondering if there's an easier way.
Thanks in advance...
