Why Langdon Tactical?
Langdon Tactical Technology (LTT) was founded on the realization that shooters shouldn't have to choose between reliability and quality for their EDC, competition, or duty firearms.
We start with production guns and put in the customized work that manufacturing cant recreate to enhance the overall shooter interface and experience.
From a smoother, lighter, and more consistent Double Action (DA) & Single Action (SA) trigger pull produced by our legendary trigger job, through state of the art coatings (NP3), and industry leading tech advancements (RDO) we are revolutionizing what custom firearms can be.
Langdon Tactical is Custom Without Compromise
Why DA/SA?
The philosophy behind DA/SA (Double Action / Single Action) pistols for concealed carry or duty use, stems from the longer, heavier (DA) first trigger pull, which acts as a natural safety that can aid - along with good training and trigger discipline - in the firearm only being discharged intentionally, at the proper target, while under duress.
Watch below for an explanation of the differences between DA/SA and striker fired pistols:
What is the Langdon Tactical Trigger Job?
The LTT trigger job is a custom service for Beretta 92s and PX4s, as well as Springfield Armory XDE series pistols that delivers competition performance without compromising reliability.
Our gunsmiths polish, stone, and upgrade numerous parts in the firing mechanism to achieve a smoother, lighter, and more consistent trigger pull and shortened reset.
The Beretta 92 Trigger Job includes:
- Polishing & Stoning on all interacting trigger mechanism parts
- Upgraded Optimized Performance Trigger Bar
- Upgraded Chrome Silicon Hammer, Trigger Return, and Sear springs
The Beretta PX4 Trigger Job includes:
- Polishing & Stoning on all interacting trigger mechanism parts
- Upgraded DLC Coated Optimized Performance Trigger Bar

Don't want to send your gun in? We also offer Trigger Job in a Bag kits that can be installed by a competent gunsmith closer to home.
What is the Langdon Tactical Carry Bevel?
The Langdon Tactical gunsmithing team begins every Carry Bevel pistol by hand stoning & polishing the hard edges and snag points on the 92 frame & slide, upgrading the internal magazine well bevel, and improving the trigger guard radius.
We then include our NP3 Upgrade and Trigger Job, to dramatically improve corrosion resistance, life span, and lubricity of the action throughout the pistol, as well as user interface with the firing mechanism.
Finally, the Carry Bevel is finished off with a full re-cerakoting of the slide and frame.
Carry Bevel is only available on Beretta 92 platform; not all Beretta 92s qualify for the full Carry Bevel process, and 92 pistols without a factory-beveled magwell cannot be Carry Beveled.
Are all Elite LTT 92's from Langdon Tactical?
The short answer is "no" however it's a bit more complicated than that:
The Elite LTT 92 series was developed in collaboration between Ernest Langdon & Beretta, seeking to create a semi-custom 92 without the time and expense of a fully customized pistol.
While ALL Elite LTTs come with a plethora of upgrades that are not found on other 92 series pistols (a marriage of Vertec Slide and M9A1 frame, front slide serrations, radiused trigger guard, etc) only Elite LTTs sold by Langdon Tactical (or our authorized dealers) have the LTT Trigger Job, NP3, or Carry Bevel work.
If you want to confirm that a specific Elite LTT 92 has Langdon Tactical work, please email an image of the gun box barcodes to contactus@langdontactical.com - we will check the barcodes against our records and let you know as soon as possible!

PACKAGE TRACKING: Where is my package?
LTT receives and sees the same tracking updates as you, please allow two full calendar weeks prior to contacting us once your order is shipped, as most carriers have longer ship times currently.
If your order has shipped but you have not received a tracking number or your tracking number is not working, please send us a message in the chat (lower right corner of screen).
Please Note:
- Shipments might be delayed after leaving our facility at multiple points in the ship process
- Cut off times might be adjusted with or without notice
- Drivers might arrive earlier or later than originally projected
- Additional sweeps, trucks or drivers might NOT be possible and cannot be guaranteed
- Online tracking info might be delayed – the network is currently loaded with exorbitant info so there could be tech delays and some carriers are missing scans throughout the shipping process in the rush to get everything delivered.
We see the same tracking information you do through USPS, FEDEX and/or UPS.
Please understand that tracking numbers are NOT always updated by the USPS, and ALL carriers are extremely overwhelmed at this time.
If you received a tracking number, you may need to wait 48-72 hours to see the tracking info appear, ESPECIALLY if a carrier misses a scan anywhere along the route.
We are not AMAZON PRIME, everything does not ship two-day.
We love polite customers. If you have an inquiry, please ask. Treat our customer service team with respect if the USPS has not delivered your package and you are trying to track it down. We will do our best to assist.

HOW TO: How do I send in my slide?
If you are sending in your slide for RDO Cut ONLY, please pay for the RDO solution (here: 92 or PX4) and ship your slide to the address on the Custom Gun Work Order Form (here).
If you're sending in your firearm for RDO cut IN ADDITION TO other custom gun work, please pay the Custom Gun Work Deposit (Here), and then fill out the Custom Gun Work Order Form (here).
For RDO work only, please expect a lead time of 6-10 weeks, additional custom work MAY increase this lead time by 2-6 weeks, depending on what custom work is ordered.
If you are not having any other custom gun work performed, please send in ONLY your slide.
If you are having other custom work (trigger job, NP3 upgrade, etc) then you will need to send your entire firearm per the instructions below:
- First, pay the Custom Gun Work Deposit (Here) and determine if you would like LTT to provide an inbound shipping label, or prefer to ship yourself - upon checkout you will receive an order confirmation number, keep this handy as you will need it in step 2.
- Complete our online Custom Gun Work Order Form & include a copy of your confirmation email with the firearm, as well as a photocopy or photograph of your driver's license.
- Package your slide or firearm in a hard side pistol case - we recommend wrapping the slide or firearm in a single layer of bubble wrap with one or two pieces of tape before boxing it up to avoid damage in shipping.
LTT assumes NO liability and is not responsible for damage to poorly packaged firearms or slides.
Please do not send your magazines, optics, holsters, or other accessories. At this time we do not install optics.
If you are ordering the NP3 upgrade for your firearm and want NP3 Magazines, they can be purchased on our site (here). - Ship your slide or firearm to LTT at the address provided on the Custom Gun Work form within 10 business days of paying your deposit - Order's That Are Not Received in this Timeframe will Forfeit The Full Deposit.
If you have any questions, please reach out to customer service at sales@langdontactical.com.
See below for some helpful hints on what NOT to do when sending in your gun or slide:
DIY: Can you just send me the parts to do this to my gun?
No. Our RDO solution milling of the slide and installation of proprietary LTT parts that must be inspected and installed by LTT gunsmiths for proper fit and function.
COMPATIBILITY: Can you cut my Beretta 92 slide?
We can cut nearly all Beretta 92 slides, including the 92F, 92FS, 92D, Brigadier Tactical (and other Brigadier variants), 92X, 92X Performance, 92X Performance Defensive, 92X RDO, M9, M9A1, M9A3, M9A4, 92XI, and many more - see full compatibility chart below.
LTT RDO slides are fully cerakoted, meaning they may be slightly tight on first install.
A tight fit is normal and expected, and will break in through normal cycling of the slide.
Please note: for slides with a built in front sight (92F, 92FS, M9, etc) we cannot mill a dovetail or install a taller cowitness front sight, as slide is not thick enough over the barrel.
RDO SCREWS: What screws are used to mount my LTT LOW RDO plate or optic?
The Plate-to-Slide attachment screws are size M3-0.5mm x 6mm
For Optic-to-Plate screw sizes, see below:
- Trijicon RMR Footprint: Fits the Trijicon RMR, SRO, and Holosun 407c, 507c, 508T family of optics
- For attaching a Holosun to the RDO Plate use: 4x40 – 5/16
- For attaching an RMR or SRO to the RDO Plate use: 4x40 – 3/8
-
Holosun 509T: Holosun to the RDO Plate use: 4x40 – 5/16
-
Doctor Optic: Doctor to RDO Plate use: 4x40 - 3/8 or 4x40 - 5/16
-
Delta/Romeo: Delta/Romeo to RDO Plate use: 4x40 - 1/2
-
EPS: EPS to RDO plate use: 4x40 - 5/16
All LTT LOW RDO Optic Cut mounting screws should be torqued to 10 inch pounds using a hand driven torque wrench or torque driver.
The plate-to-slide screw uses a T10 Torx Bit, and the optic-to-plate screw uses a 1/16" hex key.
TORQUE SPEC: What should I torque my LTT RDO screws to?
Torque both the plate-to-slide screws, and the optic-to-plate screws to 12in lbs using a torque limiter or torque driver.
Please check your screws and ensure they have loctite before torquing them down.
The LTT RDO Solution plate (and optic if purchased) comes from LTT with red loctite installed to 12 in-lbs.
We recommend witness marking any screws after install.
LTT is not liable for user failure to properly loctite and/or torque their screws, or to perform regular maintenence and equipment checks.
T NUTS: My RDO T-Nuts snapped/sheared off, what do I do?
Q: During install or removal of my optic on my LTT RDO pistol (92, PX4, or P30), my T-nuts (the chrome nuts that the optic screws thread into) sheared or snapped off, what can I do?
A: This typically happens during install when too much torque force is applied (more than 10-INCH-LBS), or during removal when too much loctite was used during install, forcing massive overtorque to remove the screws.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: When installing your red dot optic on an LTT RDO pistol, do not use more than 10-INCH-LBS (using a torque driver, or torque limiter will allow you to measure this out precisely) of force AND do not use more than a single generous drop of loctite or vibratite on the optic screws, as too much loctite will permanently adhere the screw threads to the inside of the nut.
New replacement T Nuts can be purchased here: https://langdontactical.com/red-dot-optic-rdo-replacement-screw-kits/
RDO SCREWS: I'm having trouble with my Glock optic mounting screws:
On Slim Frame Glock models (43, 43X, 48) the Holosun 407 & 507K both require the user to insure the screw is fully inserted into the plunger channel (screw hole) prior to beginning the torque process.
ADAPTER PLATES: What adapter plates are available for the RDO 92, P30, or PX4? Which optics do they fit?
LTT's LOW RDO optic mounting solution is currently available for the 92, Px4, and P30 series pistols.
We have options for the RMR/SRO footprint, the Holosun 509T (Not ACSS), Docter Optic/Noblex family of optics, and the Shield & Delta Point Pro footprints. An EPS and EPS Carry plate is in development now. This list is not a reflection of our direct cut options available for Glock pistols.
Important Note Regarding RDO Plate Compatibility: This is not a comprehensive list of all the optics that may work with our plates. Our plates have been designed to fit tightly with the optic body of the main optic it was designed for. Other optics manufacturers may use the same footprint for mounting but have a different size optic body or may change the size of their optic body without warning. We cannot guarantee fit with all manufacturers that use these listed footprints.
Our RMR Plate fits:
- Trijicon RMR
- Trijicon SRO
- Holosun HS407C
- Holosun HS507C
- Holosun HS508T
- Riton X3 Tactix PRD
- NcStar VISM FlipDot Pro
- Swampfox Kingslayer
- DOES NOT FIT RMRcc
- DOES NOT FIT RCR (Trijicon's proprietary capstan screws will not work with our t-nut inserts)
Our Doctor Plate fits (92 & PX4):
- Docter/Noblex Sight C
- Docter/Noblex sight 2+
- Docter/Noblex sight III
- Docter/Noblex QUICKsight 5.0 VR
- Noblex Sight G
- Vortex Venom
- Burris Fastfire 2
- Burris Fastfire 3
- Delta Optical MiniDot
- Delta Optical MiniDot II
- Hawke Reflex 1×25
- Sightmark Mini Shot Pro Spec
- Sightmark Mini Shot M-Spec
- Leica Tempus
- MAKdot 1×25
- Vomz Pilad 1×20
Our Sig Romeo/Delta Plate fits (92 & PX4 - no built-in rear sight):
- Leupold Delta Point Pro
- Sig Sauer Romeo 2
Our 509T Plate fits:
- Holosun HE509T
Our Holosun EPS Plate fits:
- Holosun EPS
- Holosun EPS Carry
- Note: If you order this plate for your existing LTT RDO slide, you will also need the corresponding correct front sight (included with the plate). The EPS Plate uses a much lower BUIS rear sight and will not work correctly without this shorter front sight.
- Warning: This plate will not fit the 407/507K optics. While the manufacturer lists the footprint as the same, the mounting post has a different height on the EPS optic and a slight difference in the size of the optic body.
For more information on RDO Mounting Footprints, please click this link: Optics Info
Some customers have reported the the Jagerworks SRO Shroud will fit on our system, however we have not confirmed this. Customers using this or other shrouds that add height between the adapter plate and the optic should be aware that they MAY or MAY NOT need longer/taller screws to get full thread interface - LTT does not carry longer screws.
PLATE CHOICE: Which optic plate do I need / should I choose?
You NEED to know the FOOTPRINT of the optic you are buying or wishing to purchase for your firearm before selecting the plate. If we do not have the footprint listed, that means we do not have a plate for that footprint.
FINISH: Can I have my slide recoated another color or not at all?
Yes: Elite Black is the standard cerakote recoating option, however you can also select OD Green, FDE, or Sniper Gray on our CGW form.
For INOX, stainless, or pattern-cerakoted slides, we will preserve the original finish by coating only the cut portion of the slide.
DECOCKER: Can I have a 92 RDO with a safety?
No. As part of our RDO solution, we install modified G levers (decock only) on all RDO guns, slides, and custom gun work.
WATCH: Slide to frame fit on 92 Series pistols with Red Dot Ready Slides
92A1: Why can't I buy a slide for my 92A1?
Q: Why wont the RDO slide work on my 92A1 frame?
A: The 92A1 frame is different in the recoil spring area, specifically there is a bushing in the frame and a larger nose/dust cover that impacts that bushing in recoil. The standard slide, like the Elite slide, would damage that bushing in the 92A1 because it would not contact it correctly.
COWITNESS: How do the LTT RDO iron sights cowitness with optics?
With pistol optics, your cowitness depends largely on the optic you're using due to different heights and FOV sizes.
For RMR or Holosun 507c, your cowitness will be slightly higher than lower 1/3rd
For SRO your cowitness will be slightly higher than lower 1/4th
Please note: for slides with a built in front sight (92F, 92FS, M9, etc) we cannot mill a dovetail or install a taller cowitness front sight, as slide is not thick enough over the barrel.
HOLSTERS: What holster support is there for the 92 with optics?
Some options we know work are:

LTT Customers also recommend the following holster options:

PX4 RDO SOLUTION: Common Questions
Q: What PX4 models will the LTT RDO Solution work with?
A: Our RDO solution works with full size and compact PX4s in 9mm & .40cal - it is NOT compatible with the subcompact or .45cal models.
Q: Is there a night sight option available for my PX4 RDO Front Sight?
A: No. The LTT RDO Solution for PX4 uses a proprietary front sight design that functions specifically with the built in rear sight on the adapter plate.
Q: Can I maintain my rear sight dovetail/have a new dovetail cut into the slide with RDO Solution?
A: No. There is not enough space for the original or a new dovetail once the slide is cut to accept our optic adapter plate.
Q: Can I still have the original LTT PX4 Red Dot Solution utilizing Glock MOS plates installed?
A: No. We no longer offer the original PX4 RDO Solution.
Q: Are the adapter plates interchangeable between my 92 RDO and PX4 RDO?
A: No. While the adapter plates are very similar, they are not identical or interchangeable - however you can change adapter plates between the full size and compact PX4 RDO.
92X RDO/M9A4: Is Beretta’s new "RDO" M9A4 Compatible with the LTT plate?
A: Our RDO Mounting plates DO NOT work with the Beretta factory RDO solution (92X RDO, M9A4, 92XI, etc).
However, we can mill your Beretta RDO slide to accept the LTT LOW RDO solution: Send it in!
For more information on the differences between the LTT RDO solution and Beretta's RDO mount, please see below:
ACRO: Is LTT developing an RDO plate for the Aimpoint ACRO or ACRO P2?
At this time, LTT has elected not to pursue development of an RDO adapter plate for the Aimpoint ACRO or ACRO P2, for a handful of reasons:
1) The final mounting interface of the P2 was a moving target for many months and due to the scarcity of the optic, we have not been able to obtain a sample of the finalized P2, which will be required in order to engineer an adapter plate.
2) Because the optic IS scarce, with most consumers waiting for nearly a year without receiving theirs, it does not make sense at this time for us to R&D an accessory with relatively few actual users.
3) Due to the way the ACRO system interfaces with its adapter plate (a rail/tooth attachment) and the way our plates interface with the slide (multiple off-set screws) we are not certain that an ACRO would even be compatible with the LTT RDO system - if/when we're able to obtain a sample optic we will determine at that time if the project can be pursued.
STRIPPED SCREWS: What do I do if my RDO screws get stripped?
COMPATIBILITY: What model 92/96/M9's will the Trigger Job in a Bag Fit?
The Trigger Job In A Bag will fit the following Beretta pistols, black and "Inox" Stainless versions. Note: Some Stainless "Inox" models have stainless trigger bars and hammers, the TJIB does not come with stainless steel or Stainless look parts. (Some Beretta Inox models have chrome plated parts to match the stainless finish, but the parts are not stainless steel).

ABOUT: What is NP3?
The NP3 Option includes an NP3 finish on all of the metal parts in the firearm, EXCEPT for the frame, slide, and barrel. NP3 is a nickel teflon finish that adds lubricity, rust and corrosion resistance and a smoothness to all of the components. When it comes to the trigger job, it makes the DA/SA a little bit smoother.
Check out this video 'About NP3' with Carry Trainer and Ernest Langdon for a more in depth description.

Aimee & Shelby explain all of the TJIB options below:
TROUBLESHOOTING: I installed the Trigger job in the Bag and now I am getting hammer follow and/or my gun is firing multiple times.
Sear Spring Installation - this is the correct orientation for the Sear Spring in the Beretta 92/M9. It can be installed backwards, and it will work, most of the time, but you will get an occasional hammer follow. Make sure you install it correctly and you will have much better results.
TIP: Which Hammer Spring Weight should I choose?
Combined with our Trigger Job in a Bag kit and the following hammer springs, your DA/SA pull weight will be approximately:
- 11# DA: 5.3 to 6 lbs
- 12# DA: 5.6 to 6.4lbs
- 13# DA: 6.3 to 7lbs
- 14# DA: 7 to 7.5lbs
- 16# DA: 7.2 to 8 lbs
Please keep in mind that below 13# on a 92 series pistol, some primers may not ignite reliably - 12# and 11# hammer springs should only be selected for home-loaders and seasoned pros.
On the PX4, it will be:
- #11 DA 6 to 7lbs
- #12 DA 7 to 8lbs
With the Single-Action will be between 3.5 and 4 lbs for both the 92/96 and PX4.
WATCH: Optimized Performance Trigger Bar Fit
VOLKER TRIGGER: Does the Flat Faced Volker Precision trigger work with the TJIB?
Yes! The Volker precision trigger works with all DA/SA 92s and can be installed by LTT on new or CGW firearms, or added to your order with a Trigger Job in a Bag kit for DIY install.
ABOUT: What is NP3?
The NP3 Option includes an NP3 finish on all of the metal parts in the firearm, EXCEPT for the frame, slide, and barrel. NP3 is a nickel teflon finish that adds lubricity, rust and corrosion resistance and a smoothness to all of the components. When it comes to the trigger job, it makes the DA/SA a little bit smoother.
Check out this video 'About NP3' with Carry Trainer and Ernest Langdon for a more in depth description.

COMPACT & CENTURION: 92 Elite LTT Compact and Centurion - Common Questions
Check out this video for help in deciding which gun and options you might want!
What is a Centurion? It is a modified Full size frame made to fit the compact barrel and slide
Gun Features: Exact same feature as the Elite LTT full size except, the Centurion has the Full-size grip with a compact slide. The Compact has the compact slide and grip.
Barrel length? Both of the barrels are 4.3” with a target crown, we can cut and crown the barrels flush to the slide with a 20-degree target crown.
What parts are interchangeable?
Centurion: All the same parts that we carry are interchangeable with the full size LTT EXCEPT barrel, guide rods, and recoil springs
Compact: All the same parts that we carry are interchangeable with the full size LTT EXCEPT barrel, recoil springs, guide rod, grips, mag guide, and flush hammer spring cap
What grips fit the Centurion? It uses the same grips as the standard full-size 92.
What holsters can I use?
Centurion: It can use the full-size or the compact holster. It will fit both.
Compact: The compact will also fit in most full-size holsters, or designated compact holsters
Can I swap my compact slide onto my full-size 92 to make a Centurion? No, the frame is different on the compact and centurion to allow for correct slide travel with the compact slide.
Does the Centurion take the same mags as my full-size 92? Yes.
Will the TJIAB fit the Centurion and Compact? Yes
MAINTENANCE: Recommended Maintenance and Cleaning for Beretta 92 series pistols:
Beretta 92 Maintenance schedule from Ernest Langdon:
Recoil springs should be replaced every 5,000 rounds (10,000 for Chrome Silicon springs).
A full top end rebuild and detail clean should be performed at 10,000 rounds (especially if you dry fire a lot) as well as replace the trigger return spring and trigger bar spring.
The LTT Top-end Rebuild includes the firing pin, firing pin plunger, firing pin spring, firing pin block, extractor, & extractor spring.
The Locking Block should last to 20,000 rounds, however we normally recommend replacement at 15,000 to be on the safe side, as waiting until the block is completely worn out can lead to frame damage, and sometimes lead to a completely locked up pistol.
This recommended maintenance schedule will serve to keep the gun running 100% for the longest time possible.
DUTY HOLSTERS: What Duty holster Can I Purchase for my 92 Elite LTT?
The US Duty Gear holsters on our site are set up for use with the 92 Elite LTT, and we have options for 92s with or without the RDO.

COMPATIBILITY: Are the 92 and the PX4 Hammer Springs the same?
Dimensionally, the hammer springs are the same and will work in the Beretta PX4, M9, 92 and 96 Series guns, however they deliver different performance. A 12# hammer spring in a 92/96/M9 would be considered a competition hammer spring, but in a PX4, it would be perfectly suitable for duty or EDC.
RDO SOLUTION: 92 RDO optic footprints and RDO FAQs

Important Note Regarding RDO Plate Compatibility: This is not a comprehensive list of all the optics that may work with our plates. Our plates have been designed to fit tightly with the optic body of the main optic it was designed for. Other optics manufacturers may use the same footprint for mounting but have a different size optic body or may change the size of their optic body without warning. We cannot guarantee fit with all manufacturers that use these listed footprints.
Some customers have reported the the Jagerworks SRO Shroud will fit on our system, however we have not confirmed this. Customers using this or other shrouds that add height between the adapter plate and the optic should be aware that they MAY or MAY NOT need longer/taller screws to get full thread interface - LTT does not carry longer screws.

Yes. The Trigger Job in a Bag with work with any Beretta 92, 96 and M9 models, including the 92 Compact.
BARREL: My barrel in my 90-Series pistol is not centered in the slide. Is this a problem?
A: This is a normal and common condition on 92 Series firearms; it does not affect function or accuracy.
From Beretta:
90-Series Pistol Barrel Alignment
Updated 3/12/19
Frequently, our technical division receives inquiries from concerned consumers, stating that the end of the barrel on their Beretta 90-series pistol is not centered in the end of the slide (as depicted below). Owners are often worried that this feature is a defect, and/or will negatively impact accuracy or safe function. Fortunately, this is not the case.
This feature is a normal characteristic of a 90-series pistol. The barrel is secured in to position by the locking block design, which, in turn, holds the barrel firmly within the slide when in battery. However, the orientation of this mechanism often results in the barrel resting off-center within the assembly. This condition does not have a negative impact the accuracy, nor does it negatively affect the functionality of the firearm. Some pistol designs employ the use of barrel bushings (such as in a 1911) or other component, which often results in uniform parallel alignment between the barrel and slide. However, 90-Series pistols conspicuously omit these features.
Subjectively, this feature may render the firearm less than aesthetically pleasing, however, no corrective action is necessary. Notably, heavy usage will often result in a somewhat oblong or rectangular wear pattern in the parkerized/anodized finish of the barrel, manifesting at the point where the barrel contacts the side of the slide, or along the barrel top, where the “bridge” maintaining the front sight post rubs along the barrel. This can be maintained by oiling the barrel with a moisture displacing lubricant, as is routine in firearm maintenance. Doing so will prevent the barrel from developing rust. If the consumer wishes, the barrel may be re-finished as needed. However, this is typically at the cost of the consumer, and the wear pattern is likely to re-develop during normal use.
Models affected include, but are not necessarily limited to:
92FS, 92A1, M9A1, M9A3, M9 Commercial, 90-TWO, 92X, etc.
All 90-series pistols are proven designs that meet military, law enforcement and commercial requirements for reliability and accuracy. However, if the need for gunsmithing services remains/becomes evident, please contact us at 1-800-BERETTA, ext. 2003. Please have your serial number prepared.
DIMENSIONS: What are the height and width on the 92 Elite LTT sights?
- The height of the front sight is .220 inches from the base of the dovetail
- The width of the fiber optic rod is: .055 inches
- The height of the rear sight is: .290 inches
- The rear sight notch width is: .150
- The Front Sight post is .110 inches wide
AMMO: Will +P 9mm Ammo work in the 92 Elite LTT?
Yes, +P Ammo will work. Many folks ask us about +P+ Ammo, we don't know because that ammo is not rated and often times, different, therefore, we cannot say.
TRIGGER RESET: Why Isn't My Trigger Reset Audible or Tactile?
A: You need to get off of your trigger and stop holding it to the rear while you are aiming the gun:
TRIGGER BAR: Optimized Performance Trigger Bar Questions
Will the OP Trigger Bar work with the existing trigger job/trigger job in a bag I have? Yes it will.
Will the OP Trigger Bar work with the Short Reach Trigger? Yes.
Is this drop in ready? Yes. It may need to be fitted, but less than the other trigger bars we sell.
What 92's will this work in? It will work in the 92F models and later and *may* also work with 92SB's.
It will not work with the 92S, 92M, or the original 1975 Model 92.
Do I need to have a trigger job on my gun in order for this to work? No, you do not.
Is the firing pin block functional and gun still drop safe with the installation of this OP Trigger Bar? Yes.
Will the OP Trigger Bar work on a 92 Compact and Centurion? Yes.
Will the OP Trigger Bar work on the 92D? Yes, it will work, but it will not reduce the reset.
Does the OP Trigger Bar reduce pre-travel? No.
LOCKING BLOCK: Are the internal parts from the commercial M9A1, compatible with the commercial M9? I can find M9A1 parts everywhere, but little to no M9 parts. Specifically, the barrel locking lug and associated parts.
All you need is a locking block kit. All the locking blocks are interchangeable from the 92SB to current production. Beretta made updates to the locking block but they are backwards compatible to the older model guns.
BLACK BARREL: I would like a black barrel, how can I get this option?
You have to have your barrel cut & crowned to be refinished in black.
https://www.langdontactical.com/custom-gun-work-cut-crown-barrel/
HAMMER SPRING: Why is my new LTT hammer spring longer than my factory D model spring? And/Or I think you sent me the wrong hammer spring because it is a different size than the one I took out of the gun.
There is more to springs than just their length. Wire diameter, material, number of coils, the distance between coils and working space all play a factor. Our lighter springs are often longer than the factory springs that they replace.
ABOUT: Why do the Hammers sit to the left in the 92 and PX4’s?
The hammers all sit to the left on the 92’s and the PX4’s because there is a relief cut on the right side of the hammer. It’s there so that the hammer only rides in the slide in the same spot so that it wears evenly. It’s more visible on a PX4 than the 92.
If you look at the slide and you pull the slide back. The width of the hammer is centered on the pusher on the bottom of the slide.
SIGHT COMPATIBILITY: What sights will fit my Elite LTT (or other 92 Series) Pistol?
We have multiple sight options for the Elite LTT, M9A1, M9A3, & 92X (Vertec) slides, to include:
- Ameriglo Spartan Night Sight Set or Front Sight Only (FS Height: ) - FS compatible with Elite LTT stock rear sight
- Ameriglo ProGlo Front Sight (FS Height: )
- Wilson Combat Rear Sights (.280-.310 Heights available) - These will NOT fit brigadier model slides.
- Elite LTT Fiber Optic sight set & Fiber Optic Rod Replacements
POA/POI: What is the proper point of aim on the 92 Elite LTT pistols? Is it combat 'hold' or 12 o'clock hold?
A: The bullet should hit at the top of the front sight at about 15-20 yards depending on ammunition.
SAFETY: Can you install a single side safety/decocker lever to my Elite LTT?
No - the single side safety/decocker lever does not work with vertec slides, which includes the Elite LTT series.
BARREL PORT: Who ports the barrels we see on your Social Media pages?
The barrel ports are done by Performance Pistol Works: https://www.performancepistolworks.com
Elite LTT Barrels that have already been ported can be purchased on our site: https://www.langdontactical.com/92-elite-ported-barrel/
MATCH HAMMER: General Information for the Beretta Match Hammer
The Beretta Match Hammer is a DLC coated gunsmith-fit replacement for your existing 92 or PX4 hammer.
This upgrade reduces pre-travel in single action to less than 2MM of travel - combined with our Optimized Performance Trigger Bar, your single action pull & reset will be short, smooth, and fast!
The Match Hammer MUST be used with either the LTT Optimized Performance Trigger Bar OR the Beretta Extreme S Trigger Bar AND the Match Hammer MUST also be installed either by LTT or another qualified gunsmith.
LTT accepts no liability for any damage or injury that results from failure to follow the above instructions.
The Beretta Match Hammer will ship in Beretta Factory packaging with a SKU tag that reads "Skeletonized Hammer 92" with part number C5L047 - we assure you this IS the Match Hammer, and a part number search on Beretta's website will confirm this: https://www.berettausa.com/en-us/skeletonized-hammer-92-92x-perf/c5l047/
COMPENSATOR: I want to use a compensator with my 92 Elite LTT...
Q: Do I have to change out the recoil spring?
A: Yes, generally with a compensator a lighter recoil spring is needed, however it depends heavily on the compensator and ammo combination.
Q: Does LTT offer a threaded barrel for attaching a compensator?
A: While we do carry threaded barrels for 92 pistols, we have not received any from Beretta in over two years, so that would need to be sourced from Beretta directly or a third party.
Q: Do LTT customizations like trigger job, RDO, or NP3 affect adding a compensator?
A: Generally no, none of our customizations will affect the use of a compensator.
ABOUT: Do I need a holster? Which holster should I get?
Before choosing a holster the first question you need to answer is whether or not you can legally carry in your state or locality, as well as what rules or licensing is required.
If you are planning to carry, you need to think about the situation and environment you plan to carry in:
Are you planning to carry while shooting recreationally on a local range or while hunting/camping?
Are you planning to compete with your pistol?
Are you carrying your pistol for self defense?
Will your pistol be equipped with a light or red dot optic?
Each of these situations calls for a different holster set up - give your personal situation some thought, and then choose the holster(s) that best fit your needs.
HOLSTER TYPES: Do I need an IWB or OWB holster? What's a duty holster?
IWB refers to Inner WaistBand carry - with an IWB holster, you will be carrying concealed, with a holster designed to fit inside your pants and under your shirt or coat.
Kydex IWB holsters are generally considered the best choice for concealed carry - most IWB holsters use passive (level 1) retention.
OWB refers to Outer WaistBand carry - with an OWB holster, you will be carrying openly OR concealed, with a holster designed to ride on the outside of your pants, attached to your belt, sometimes covered by a shirt or coat.
OWB holsters are very popular for hunting, camping, range use, and competition - many, but not all OWB holsters use passive (level 1) retention.
Duty Holsters are OWB holsters that are typically ruggedized for hard use, usually they are designed to fit on a duty belt (thicker and wider than a daily use or carry belt) and feature Level 2 or Level 3 retention options.
DUTY HOLSTERS: What Duty holster Can I Purchase for my 92 Elite LTT?
The US Duty Gear holsters on our site are set up for use with the 92 Elite LTT, and we have options for 92s with or without the RDO.
The Safariland Model 6280 LASD 7201 (with a weapon mounted light attached - not compatible with RDO Slides).
Any holster designed for the M9A1, M9A3 or Vertec will work with the Elite LTT.
CARRY HOLSTERS: What holsters work with the Elite LTT?
We have many holster options for sale on our Holsters page, including:
IWB:
JM Custom Kydex - Wing Claw 2.0 & RDO Wing Claw
5 Shot Leather - SME Appendix IWB Holster
Palmetto Leather Works - 92 Pinnacle IWB Holster

For left handed options, as well as other light and fit options, please visit our holster partners directly.
Any holster designed for the M9A1, M9A3 or 92 Vertec railed frame will work with the Elite LTT.
ABOUT: What is the LTT 1301 Shotgun?
We start with the Beretta 1301 Gen 3 Mod 2 Tactical Shotgun and upgrade multiple components.
The 1301 Gen 3 Mod 2 ships standard with a 7+1 magtube capacity, the semi-flat trigger, and prolifter, and the LTT 1301 includes all of the following:
- MagPul Zhukov Handguard (black) modified by LTT and GG&G
- Stock Adapter by GG&G
- MagPul Stock (Black)
With the option to add:
- Six Shot Side Saddle By GG&G
- LTT Aimpoint Mount by GG&G (Compatible with the Aimpoint T1/T2/H1/H2 series of optics, as well as most other third party optics fitting the T1 Footprint)
- LTT RMR Mount by GG&G (Compatible with the Trijicon RMR & SRO as well as Holosun 407c/507c/508T, and most other third party optics fitting the RMR footprint)
- LTT 509T Mount by GG&G (Compatible with the Holosun HE509T NON-ACSS model, may be compatible with Holosun SCRS, however we have not confirmed fit or function at this time)
OR - The Chisel Machining Folding Stock with integrated RMR mount (not available with GG&G optic mounts or side saddles)
- The Chisel Machining 5-shot 12ga Quiver, which attaches to the CM Stock
These upgrades are beyond mere aesthetics, and deliver functional benefits like adjustable LOP with the Magpul Stock, MLOK accessory attachment points on the Magpul Zhukov Handguard, and improved capacity & feeding with the Nordic Components Tube Extension & mag follower.
The optional Six Shot side saddle or Optic Mounts from GG&G round out the LTT 1301 options to bring you the ultimate 1301 Tactical package.
For Gen 1/2 owners, we also offer our upgrade kit which includes:
- Nordic Components Mag Tube Extension Kit (does not include the QDC Sling Mount)
- Nordic Components Enhanced Magazine Tube Follower
MANUAL: Where can I find a manual for my 1301 (and upgrades)?
The Beretta 1301 Manual can be found here:
https://www.beretta.com/assets/12/29/131696_1301_TACTICAL_ENG_OK_1-321.pdf
The Nordic Components Magazine Tube Extension
http://nordiccomp.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/MXT-Instructions.pdf
CHOKES: Is the Beretta 1301 from LTT threaded for Chokes?
Yes! The LTT 1301 Gen 3 Mod 2 Tactical models use the Optima HP choke system - the 1301 ships with a cylinder choke installed and an improved cylinder choke in the box. The IC choke will provide slightly tighter patterns for target & buck shot, but should not be used with slugs.
MAG CAPACITY: What is the capacity of the LTT 1301 Shotgun?
Because the Beretta 1301 Tactical is an imported shotgun, it is subject to the USC 922r regulations, which the LTT model meets through the addition of the Magpul stock, forearm & required GG&G adapters.
As of 2023, the Gen 3 Beretta 1301 Tactical ships with a full length 7rd tube, bringing the capacity LTT 1301 to 7+1.
SAFETY: Is the 1301 safety reversible for left handed operation?
Yes! The 1301 Safety is reversible for left handed operation.
LTT can take care of this for you during a 1301 upgrade job, or on a new 1301 ordered from LTT.
If you already have an LTT 1301, a competent local gunsmith can also swap the safety for you.
BARREL SCUFF: Why is there a mark/scuff/scratch on my 1301 barrel?
The scuff on the LTT 1301 barrel is normal, and part of the upgrade process from removal of the OEM Beretta handguard.
This scuff is unavoidable, and is not cause for concern. It can be buffed out with a terry cloth, oil, and some elbow grease.
This scuff will not be accepted for return, RMA, or warranty.
SLINGS: How do I attach a sling to my LTT 1301?
For Gen 1/2 LTT 1301s with the Nordic Components tube extension, you will need to use an MLOK interfacing sling attachment on the upper front of the Magpul Zhukov handguard, and loop the rear of the sling through the built in sling attachment points on the Magpul stock; optionally, Magpul offers a QD cup that can be installed in the stock for a QD interface at the rear.
For Gen 3 LTT 1301s, you can proceed with the above, or use the QD and/or MLOK slots on the included mag tube clamp.
1301 COMP & COMP PRO: Can you upgrade my 1301 competition shotgun?
Yes! The 21" and 24" 1301 Comp & Comp Pro can both receive the LTT Upgrade package, Trigger Job, and/or Side Saddle - we CANNOT install optic mounts or handguards on these models, however.
OPTIC MOUNT: What should the mount screws be torqued to?
The LTT 1301 Optic Mounts by GG&G use a 2.5mm allen key and are torqued to 10-inch-lbs using a torque limiter or torque driver.

GENERATIONS: What is the difference bettwen the Gen 1, 2, or 3 1301 from LTT?
OPTIONS: What HK firearms is LTT working on?
A: The P30, P30L, P30SK (LEM and DA/SA models), The HK USP in 9, .40 & .45 and we offer custom gun work for the P2000 – we are not offering for sale or accepting for work any other HK pistol variants at this time.
CGW: Can I send my P30 series, USP series, or P2000 to LTT for Custom Gun Work?
Yes! We are offering custom gun work for the full P30 & USP series (see exceptions below) as well as P2000s
Options vary depending on model, so please read the Custom Gun Work page and form carefully!
HK CGW Options
TRIGGER SYSTEMS: What is the difference between DA/SA and LEM?
A: The HK P30 DA/SA pistols function like any other DA/SA; the first shot is a longer, heavier double action pull, while subsequent trigger pulls will be shorter and lighter – the DA/SA P30s have a decocker in the rear of the pistol.
The LEM system, in contrast, is similar to a DAO action, where every trigger pull will be the same weight and length – the LEM system does not have a decocker.
LOW RDO: What does the P30 & USP RDO cut include?
A: The LTT RDO solution is now available on new USP & P30 Series (USP 45, 40, 9mm Full Size & Compact, P30, P30L, P30SK) models purchased from LTT as well as for customer slides and will include the cutting of your slide to accept our RDO adapter plate (with included rear sights), refinishing of the slide, installation of the adapter plate, and the taller back up front sight to mate up to the rears.
Please note that HK USP Models with adjustable, factory installed rear sights cannot be cut for LTT's LOW RDO due to the geometry & depth of the adjustable sight slide cut. Please see the last photo on this page if you are unsure if your USP has factory adjustable rear sights.
This includes (but is not limited to) the HK USP Elite, Expert, Tactical, & Compact models.

Important Note Regarding RDO Plate Compatibility: This is not a comprehensive list of all the optics that may work with our plates. Our plates have been designed to fit tightly with the optic body of the main optic it was designed for. Other optics manufacturers may use the same footprint for mounting but have a different size optic body or may change the size of their optic body without warning. We cannot guarantee fit with all manufacturers that use these listed footprints.

CONVERSION: Can you convert my DA/SA P30, USP or P2000 to LEM or visa-versa?
A: We are not offering any conversions at this time.
SIGHTS: What Sight Options are Available on the HK P30 from LTT?
A: All of our P30s ship standard with HK's white three dot "chargeable" sights - these are sun or false light chargeable to glow in the dark for a short period of time.
We are also offering HK's tritium night sight option, which will glow without charging by a third party light source.
Finally, we're offer the option to install Trijicon HD-XR tritium night sights with either an orange or yellow front ring.
HK USP: Can LTT work on my (assorted USP models)?
Currently, LTT can perform our Trigger Job and RDO cut on most USP models, including:
- USP - .45, .40, & 9mm
- USP Compact - .45, .40, & 9mm

We do not have the ability to work on the USP Expert, Match, or Elite at this time
NOTE: HK USP Models with adjustable, factory installed rear sights cannot be cut for LTT's LOW RDO due to the geometry & depth of the adjustable sight slide cut. Please see the last photo on this page if you are unsure if your USP has factory adjustable rear sights.
This includes (but is not limited to) the HK USP Elite, Expert, Tactical, & Compact models.
COMPATIBILITY: Are the 92 and the PX4 Hammer Springs the same?
Dimensionally, the hammer springs are the same and will work in the Beretta PX4, M9, 92 and 96 Series guns, however they deliver different performance. A 12# hammer spring in a 92/96/M9 would be considered a competition hammer spring, but in a PX4, it would be perfectly suitable for duty or EDC.
ABOUT: Which Hammer Spring Weight should I choose?
Combined with our Trigger Job in a Bag kit and the following hammer springs, your DA/SA pull weight will be approximately:
- 11# DA: 5.3 to 6 lbs
- 12# DA: 5.6 to 6.4lbs
- 13# DA: 6.3 to 7lbs
- 14# DA: 7 to 7.5lbs
- 16# DA: 7.2 to 8 lbs
On the PX4, it will be:
- #11 DA 6 to 7lbs
- #12 DA 7 to 8lbs
With the Single-Action will be between 3.5 and 4 lbs for both the 92/96 and PX4.
COMPATIBILITY: Will the PX4 Trigger Job in a Bag work in my subcompact?
No, the PX4 TJIB will work in the PX4 Full-size and Compact. You can send your subcompact in for us to do a trigger job on the firearm itself.
LOCKING BLOCK: I lost my PX4 Locking Block/Not Sure Where it Went During Reassembly
More likely than not, your locking block is not lost:
It is fairly common for owners of the PX4 (full-size & compact) to accidentally re-install the locking block into the frame without the barrel and slide. If you think you have lost your locking block, look in the frame first. See the two pictures below, if you cannot look down into the frame between the front slide rails, it is because your locking block is in there. Pull down on the disassembly tabs on either side of the frame and push forward on just the locking block to slide it out of the frame.
TRIGGER BAR: Will the PX4 Optimized Performance Trigger Bar work in my PX4?
Similar to our Optimized Performance Trigger Bar for the 92 series, the OPTB for the PX4 reduces reset to less than 1/10th of an inch, while also smoothing out trigger pull.
The PX4 OPTB fits & functions in the full size, compact, and subcompact PX4 pistols in 9mm & .40cal ONLY.
All PX4 OPTBs are produced in black DLC as of August 2023.
ArmorLube-DLC or Diamond-Like Carbon is the most durable and corrosion-resistant coating we have ever used. This is the same black finish we use on the Black 92 OP Tirgger bars, and we now have the special fixturing to bring this finish to the PX4 trigger bar.
RDO SOLUTION: RDO Plate compatibility and other PX4 RDO FAQs
Q: Can I buy a secondary slide with the LTT RDO solution for my PX4?
A: No, there are no additional slides available for PX4 models at this time.
Q: What is the co-witness of the RDO BUIS?
A: The LTT RDO included front & rear BUIS is a lower-1/3rd co-witness depending on the optic, different optics will affect the co-witness position.
Q: Can you cut my PX4 SubCompact for RDO?
A: No, there is not enough space on the slide for our RDO solution cut.
Q: What red dot optics are supported by the LTT RDO Solution?

- EPS Optic to Plate Screws: 4x40 - 5/16
Important Note Regarding RDO Plate Compatibility: This is not a comprehensive list of all the optics that may work with our plates. Our plates have been designed to fit tightly with the optic body of the main optic it was designed for. Other optics manufacturers may use the same footprint for mounting but have a different size optic body or may change the size of their optic body without warning. We cannot guarantee fit with all manufacturers that use these listed footprints.
Some customers have reported the the Jagerworks SRO Shroud will fit on our system, however we have not confirmed this. Customers using this or other shrouds that add height between the adapter plate and the optic should be aware that they MAY or MAY NOT need longer/taller screws to get full thread interface - LTT does not carry longer screws.

We do not support any other small frame Beretta pistols, please do not send them in.
GLOCK®: Why is LTT working on Glock®?
Prior to and since the introduction of the LTT Hellcat, we have had many requests to work on Glock pistols due to the plethora of options and robust reputation of the Glock platform. We have been working on this project for several months as part of our effort to offer custom without compromise solutions for every day carry customers.

We will be offering Custom Gun Work for all of these, plus some options for Gen 3 and 4 pistols if applicable.
SCD: What is the Striker Control Device?
The Striker Control Device (SCD) is a cover plate for your Glock pistol that blocks the rearward motion of the striker when thumb pressure is applied to the back of the slide – similar to a hammer on a DA/SA hammer fired pistol. It was originally developed by Tom Jones and Todd Louis Green from the inspiration of double action hammer fired pistols, where shooters are taught to keep their thumb on the hammer when holstering. Keeping your thumb on the back of the hammer gives you positive feedback should something be caught in the trigger guard to prevent the gun from firing. The SCD does just that for the Glock striker fired pistols.
- The SCD blocks movement of the trigger bar and prevents the trigger from moving.
- The SCD does not lock or otherwise interfere with the normal operation of the pistol unless physical force is being purposely applied by the user. When using any normal firing grip (IE: hand is not on the back of the slide), the SCD is not engaged, acting as a traditional back plate.
- Installation of the SCD requires you to remove the existing backplate and install the SCD.
Currently, we have three variants of SCD for Glock pistols:
The Gen 5 SCD: SCD works with all of the Gen 5 Glock pistols.
The Slim Frame SCD: works with G43, G43X, G43X MOS, G48, and G48MOS pistols.
The Gen 1-4 SCD: works with all Gen 1-4 Glock pistols.
The LTT SCD DOES NOT fit or function with the Glock 42 or Glock 44.
GRIP ANCHOR: What is the LTT & BPD Grip Anchor?
Along with this, the Grip Anchor provides a more concealable pistol by smoothing the rear corner of the magazine and frame that tends to print or poke. It rounds the bottom profile of the gun for better concealment and comfort against the body.
Additionally, the Grip Anchor fills the gap in the mag well to prevent dirt and grime from reaching the firing mechanisms, resulting in better reliability.
Finally, the internal smoothed, sloped edges of the Grip Anchor improves reload speed and consistency.
Developed with Mitchell Booth, an avid shooter and active duty Army Officer and Ernest Langdon, LTT is proud to bring the Grip Anchor to Market.
Learn more about the Grip Anchor Here:
PERFORMANCE TRIGGER: Will the Glock® Performance Trigger work with the LTT Striker Control Device (SCD)?
No. The Glock® Performance Trigger causes the striker to become fully tensioned, defeating the purpose of the SCD.
The SCD will NOT provide any safety or functionality if used with the Glock® Performance Trigger.

CLASS REGISTRATION: Can I register for your Advanced Class without having taken one of your previous classes?
No, you cannot, unless you are registering for the 3-Day Advanced Tactical Pistol Skills Course (The 3- Day covers the prerequisites for the advanced).
My Tactical Pistol Skills Class is not a Basic course by any means. I often run into issues where people want to take this as their first or second class and they have a very difficult time keeping up. It is a very fast paced class where we do many drills that most consider advanced.
Attending my Advanced Class is not an issue of skill or ability, it is an issue of understanding of the fundamentals of how and why I teach and train the way I do. I have a very specific theory of training that is addressed in detail in the standard Tactical Pistol Skills class and not covered at all in the Advanced Class.
I have tried a few times to let people in the class that have "the skill" to attend, but they end up looking at me funny when I start talking about certain things and I have to go back and explain, which is a waste of time for the rest of the class.
PREREQUISITES: Do you have prerequisites for your courses? What do I need to know how to do before I register?
Please watch the video below for more information on LTT Course Prerequisites:
TARGET: Where can I purchase the target used at Ernest's class?
The class target can be purchased from National Target here: https://www.nationaltarget.com/product_info.php?products_id=391
Or from Brownells: https://www.brownells.com/search/?search=langdon+tactical
FAST DRILL: Where can I learn more about the Fast Drill? Is there a list of current coin holders?
