Sights for the Beretta 96

A title with "front sight" or "rear sight" means a single part. All other sights are sets of front and rear sight.

Which sights to choose

• You want to zero for your ammunition or shoot competition: adjustable sights. You set windage and elevation with screws.
• You want to keep your front sight: an adjustable rear sight alone.

The sights in detail

• Adjustable rear sights from LPA, in blank, white dots and white lines. You keep your front sight and set windage and elevation on the rear sight with screws.
• Adjustable sights from LPA, in blank, fiber optic, white dots and white lines. You set windage and elevation with screws, so you can zero them for your ammunition.

How to zero adjustable sights

Shoot a group at a fixed distance. Move the rear sight in the direction you want the point of impact to move: to the right to move hits to the right, up to move hits up. Turn the screw a few clicks at a time and shoot again.

Fit

• They also fit Beretta 96 models, Beretta 98 models and Beretta M9A1 models with the older type of front sight.
• They also fit Beretta 92 models, Beretta 98 models and Beretta M9A1 models.

Sight picture

Fiber optic collects daylight and shines brightly at the range and in competition. Blank sights have a plain grooved surface without any marks. White lines and white dots give contrast without glowing.

Installation

Most pistol sights sit in a dovetail. You drift the old sight out and the new one in with a sight pusher or a punch. See Installation tools.

For red dot mounts, see Red dot mounts for Beretta 96. For all sights of this brand, see Sights for Beretta models.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the sights on my Beretta 96 at home?

Yes, with a sight pusher or a punch. Drift the old sight out of the dovetail and push the new one in. If you do not have the tool, a gunsmith can do it for you.

Which sights should I choose for my Beretta 96?

It depends on how you shoot:

• You want to zero for your ammunition or shoot competition: adjustable sights. You set windage and elevation with screws.
• You want to keep your front sight: an adjustable rear sight alone.

Do I get both the front and the rear sight?

Yes, unless the title says "front sight" or "rear sight". Then you get only that part.
