Beretta 92FS front sight insert

[Stape]

I got a 92FS and the front sight insert is missing. The front sight blade is of course part of (integral) to the slide. The front sight blade has a hole drilled through it, so looking down the sights its kind of like a front aperature. Now, been reading, and there are companys, namely tooltech, that will machine in a dovetail cut and install trijicons, but I don't want to go that route. From the looks of it all I need is a replacement insert but cant find the inserts seperately. Further reading mentioned that 4 seasons sells and installs these sights for my application. Has anyone done this to theitr model 92? How is 4 Seasons? Ive never been there (I'm in CT) Thanks

Theres not enough meat to dovetail the front sight. Tooltech drills into the blade and inserts a tritium tube. If the blade was drilled straight through then it was probably set up fir a fiber optic piece.

It's drilled completely through. The rear sights have a faint, almost dead glow to them, would just like to freshen in up.

FYI..If it is already drilled, you can send to Trijicon for new vials. They only use Tooltech for the drilling part. I've done that on a 92 slide in the past that had dead vials. I think it will run you around $50-60 for new vials, but it has been a while so don't quote me on that.

ETA: on my slide, the front blade was completely drilled through. They do that for tritium vials.

Thanks John. I'll call them up.
