The F is the older version of the pistol. The FS and newer pistols have a larger head on the hammer pin so that if the slide breaks there's no way for teh rear of the slide to come off the back towards the shooter.   The Brigadier has a thicker, heavier slide.

They also list a 10, or 15 round model, are they the same gun and different mags, or are they different guns??

That's because some states still have a high cap mag ban in place.  The pistols are the same either way.

I think adjutable sights were available from the factory.  I'm sure they're available aftermarket.  If you're going to go for aftermarket sights then you want either a brigadier or a vertec because they have front sights that can be replaced.

grip is different, straight down the backstrap versus slightly curved on the regular. and the barrel is a slight bit shorter and is almost flush with the end of the slide. also the vertec has a rail built in, not sure of that is offered on a normal FS



92FS Vertec assembled
96G slide/barrel (which is what a normal 92fs would look like too) above it

Where the sights are concerned, the Vertec and Brigadier have a dovetail for the front sight while the other slides have the front sight as a single piece with the slide and the loop over the barrel is too thin to cut a dovetail into.

The other differences with the Vertec are that it has a rail for a flashlight, a smaller grip, a reduced reach trigger and a stainless barrel on both the regular and Inox (stainless) guns.
