RE: Beretta 92 shooting low
I had the same problem and struggled with it for years until I figured it out.
The sights are 3-dot sights. How they are used is to keep both eyes open and cover the target with the center dot. They make really poor target sights but are pretty good combat sights (tritium sights would be better).
Another issue I found with the Beretta 92 is that the trigger is way too heavy and its hinged- when you pull the trigger, the tendancy is for the barrel to be pulled downward. An easy fix is to call up Beretta-USA and have them send you a hammer spring for a 96D pistol. Its a drop-in part which will reduce the trigger pull significantly. You just need to take the tension off the hammer, press down on the landyard ring (spring cap), drift out the retaining pin, replace the spring, then reassemble. The spring costs less than $5- I highly reccommend it- the 92s hammer strike is very hard so lightening up the hammer spring a bit doesn't hurt reliability.
If you want to go further and are very handy, the fire control group can be disassembled and the coating (which is kind of sticky) can be very carefully polished off the sear, trigger, hammer, and trigger bar surfaces wherever they make contact with other metal- the INOX (stainless) pistols don't need this work. I did this to mine along with the hammer spring replacement and have a very nice trigger pull on mine now.
