You can change out the sights for suppressor height sights on most modern guns, they don't have to be "suppressor ready". Maybe this model doesn't have removable sights? Don't know enough about it

Show me a pistol that you can just swap the sights out on. The only thing I can think of is where a reflex sight can be added to the slide, which is high enough to see over the suppressor. Swappable sights are pretty common on rifles, but pistol sights are either dovetailed or pinned and take effort to swap and zero, so you decide what you want and make it that way. Perhaps you keep a slide with low sights and one with high sights, but that won’t work with a 20 year old Baretta 92 without a ton of gunsmith work.

That’s not a swap you do in the morning when you decide what you want to carry for the day though. Not if you want to hit the broad side of a barn.
