Same with me. I actually loved the 92 thanks to leathal weapon and Die hard. Then I finally got to use it in the Army while on active duty from 1997 to 2000, and I was let down. The M9s I came across in the Army were poorly taken care of and wore out. Then years later I bought a new 92FS just for nostalgia and it rekindled my love of this amazing weapon. The LTT Elite is on my list for sure!

Sweet gun! I always liked the Elite series Berettas. In the 90's I always wanted the 92 Combat and then later the Billenium. I always prefer a metal frame pistol over a fantastic plastic pistol frame with all it's plasticity. I just dont like big chunky trigger guards and I am always worried about a melt down, chemical or heat. Plastic frame pistols do come with some extras with it. Testors model glue for a repair kit and armor all for a cleaning kit.

Very good review Sheldon, thanks. I just bought this gun. Had the trigger job and the night sights added. I love this pistol. The feel is terrific and the ergonomics are great. It weighs about 34 oz empty, about 40 oz fully loaded with a 15 plus 1. Kind of a large carry. Long barrel and a bit on the heavy side. But a great shooter and a very fine comp gun. To me, carry weapons are best if no one knows you have one. Hard to pull off with a large heavy pistol. But this is a superior weapon. Thanks again for the great review.

I don't think the skeletonized Elite hammer reduces cycle time. I think the claim is that it reduces lock-time (sear release to hammer striking the firing pin) due to the lower mass for the mainspring to accelerate.
@jhelmsing
5 жыл бұрын
I've heard that as well and I do believe the lock up time is also slightly affected. I think the cycle time claim is also due to the lower mass having less for the slide to work against under recoil, allowing the slide to get to full stroke faster. Again, I really don't notice a difference between the two myself.

So with that being said buy one from Langdon Tactical, but the time I was done, I could have just bought one from Langdon.

I also put the Wilson Combat mag guide on mine.They also beveled the left bottom of the slide. When you compare it the M9a1 you can see the difference in the frames.

Not impressed with it on the a3 either. But it’s thinner, so I enjoy it more. Talon grip tape in the back strap works wonders. The front sight on the a3 is garbage. I believe the early fde a3’s came with ameriglo night sights with a white ring. All the newer a3’s have no white ring. Huge letdown. I still love it.
