Last time at the range the rear sight for my PT99AF departed the weapon. I found the part of the rear sight that broke, but what comes next? I contacted Taurus and they do not make the rear sight anymore. The lady on the other end did say, "You know your gun was produced in 1988," like that was an issue. I've searched Numrich Gun Parts, eBay, and other online sources, but there doesn't seem to be anyone manufacturing an after market sight, or a surplus sight available. I have adapted an under barrel rail for a laser sight, but I'd really like to have a rear sight for the weapon. So I'm looking for your advice.
1. Does anyone know of a source for a replacement sight without extensive modification to the slide?
2. If modifying the slide is the way to go, are there any recommended sights to consider?
3. Is it true that a PT92 slide will fit the PT99? If so, I may go that route as there are a number of PT92 slides on eBay. If I go that way, what adjustable sight fits the PT92, other than the fixed site most 92 slides come with?
My PT99 is a great shooting weapon, and I hope to keep it that way. Thanks in advance.
