Ernest Langdon, best known for his mastery of Beretta handguns as well as his custom trigger jobs, has spent the past 5 years working with the Italian-born firearms manufacturer to create the “Ultimate 92”. Enter, the Beretta 92 Elite LTT.

The “Ultimate 92” package in the M9A1 frame/M9A3 slide configuration.

The Frame

The M9A1 frame boasts checkered front and back straps with no lanyard loop, a radiused trigger guard, and an oversized magazine release – all in steel components (no metal injected molding).

Langdon says he chose the Vertec over the Brigadier for the weight difference. Less weight = less movement. The VZ G10 grips are extremely thin with a direct checker pattern for both function and asthetics.

The D model trigger spring is available for after-market purchase.

The Slide

The sights on the slide showcase a fiber optic front and blacked out rear, allowing the shooter to find and maintain their sight picture with speed and accuracy. The 4.7″ stainless steel target crown, steel guide rod, and beveled rear of the slide round out the new configuration.

92 Elite LTT – Where to buy

The 92 Elite LTT has an MSRP of $1100. The first 500 will be sold exclusively through Langdon Tactical, Inc (LTI), beginning in late June, early July 2018.

LTI also put it’s stamp of approval on the recently PX4 Storm in either Compact or Sub-Compact, sporting talon grips with the LTT engraving and a Type G Stealth Lever kit (for the low-profile decock only). A competition trigger and cold-hammer forged barrel on this DA/SA pistol make for a formidable combination.

The use of a rotary barrel (as opposed to the more commonly used Browning-style tilt barrel) mitigates recoil by converting linear motion into rotational. The orange tritium front sight and blacked out square rear sight on the Cerakote grey slide complete the LTI interpretation of the PX4.

The LTT Compact Carry version is available now through either LTI or any Beretta dealer with an MSRP of $799 to start with. 5 different trigger pack levels will also be available.
