Size of Dovetail on 92?

Can anyone tell me if the new 92's have a .375 or .390 dovetail ? Getting ready to order the Skinner peep and want to get the right one. I thought I'd remove and check it last night ( left to right ) even put Kroil oil on first, wouldn't budge. I'll try putting in the vise next time.

I have a 2012 year production M92, it is a Stainless .357 with a 16" barrel. I ordered the.390 and was able to fit it with just a little filing. I used a triangular finishing file & it took about 30 minutes of going slow and checking for clearance. I love the Skinner Sight on mine.

They may have used blue or purple locktite on it. Hit it with the torch for just a minute and it should tap right out.

Thanks for the reply, glad to hear you like the skinner.
And I'll try the torch next, always nice to have advise.
