Quote HistoryQuoted: Does anyone offer frames? If I buy another slide I know what’s gonna happen. Frames occasionally get posted for sale in the Berettaforum.net classifieds. You may want to join up and keep an eye on them to see. I don't presently own a Beretta (many, many sad face), but I'm lusting after an LTT Elite RDO hard right now. I've always have a serious love affair with the Elite series of pistols, and wish they'd make them again but with the RDO cut and the light rail. Something about the stainless Brig slide makes my pants get tight, but I'm unwilling to cut up an Elite to make one myself. Ernest, if you're listening...

My Langdon-milled Vertec slide should arrive any day. It is a Langdon supplied slide and will go on a 92FS.
I will report when it arrives. In the meantime, the few gents I've seen who have mentioned the Langdon slide work, praise it: plug and play, needs no breaking in on appropriate pistols. The only hitch so far is that I am having trouble finding a holster: looking for a duty holster (not concealed) and have no light (or rail for one) on mine. The few holsters for Langdon guns I have seen are all made for both light and optic. If you've got a rail and light you'll have options. |

That’s my biggest concern, it was a real problem finding a holster for my M9A3 with a light, and the one I just bought isn’t compatible with tall sights, or an optic. I think having one custom made is going to be the only solution. It may be better just have my Glock cut for an RMR and leave the Beretta alone.

Well, yes. But that means you'd be carrying and using a Gluck, when you could be using a superlative device.

They sell optic-ready slides by themselves now
I got one and put my Holosun on it. It's nice, but snow has prevented me from zeroing it. |

I really want to buy one of those slides but will wait till they have one compatible with Trijicon's new RMRcc. Regular RMR is kinda chunky for a 92 slide IMO. RMRcc would be just right.

I have a Kramer Custom leather, Michigan State Police holster for my 92FS. I am waiting for your review, before I order a slide. I have the Police 92FS that has Trijicons with the non-removeable front sight. The lamps have long since dimmed. |

I got the RMR cut slide from Langdon Tactical and I really look forward to getting to the range with it. That said, my original slide feels like it is on ball bearings and this slide snags about halfway when you pull it back. Hopefully that wont effect the function when actually firing it. Maybe with use it will smooth out. I don't know. A couple of other things that bother me a little but don't effect function are the dents in the slide and the machine mark that to me at least look like a factory second. I'm assuming that that happened at the Tennessee factory. The other thing that bothers me is the 'Elite LTT' logo roll mark hardly being visible. I sent them an email a month ago about all this but never heard anything back. I guess it is what it is. I just expected more from something like LTT. As far as the red dot is concerned, everything went on like you would expect. Sights are easy to see through the red dot. I'll update if anything changes.

I sent the slide on my 92A1 to be milled by Langdon Tactical. When I received it back it was very difficult to cycle due to the cerakote thickness on the slide rails. I called Langdon and they explained that it would loosen up after a couple hundred rounds. It has loosened up dramatically even though it’s not quite as smooth as it was from the factory. Reliability has been 100% and it is a blast to shoot.

I regularly hope that the type of slides available for the RMR cut will increase. I would go nuts for a dot-cut SAO 92.

With the large rear sight on the RDO slide, I personally would not want any reduction whatsoever in window size over the standard RMR. With that said, the LTT RDO is outstanding. |

Granted I've only seen internet photos, but isn't the rear sight part of the mounting plate? I would assume when they say they're going to support more RDO footprints they wouldn't make it such that it occludes the optic. |

I can't speak to their plans regarding other optics but in my opinion only, RMR is the smallest window size I personally would want. That's what I use and it works just fine but I simply wouldn't want anything smaller. A picture is worth a thousand words but unfortunately I'm not currently able to provide one. Maybe someone else here can and you can make an informed assessment. |

How accessible are the decocker levers on these slides? From the pictures I've seen, it looks like the sight might partially block access to the decocker. I'm specifically interested in access to the RH lever, since I'm left-handed. One of these is on my list, but access to the decocker is a concern for me.

That said, I was a little surprised by the response that I got. Good morning KaBar3. I'm sorry you are having some issues. I brought this up to Ernest this morning, and this was his response: "As to the roll mark, dents and machining marks, that is the way we get the slide from Beretta. We do not manufacture the slide, we only cut the RDO mount area. As to the hang up with the locking block, that will smooth out with time. The factory guns are run through a cycle machine as well as test fired and proofed tested when they are assembled. Some guns are tighter from the factory as well. The good news is a tight locking block like you describe makes for a very accurate gun." I hope this helps Mark I had figured they would at least not be satisfied with the 'ELITE LTT' rollmark and it perhaps slipped through. But anyway, I will get to the range with this new slide and RDO and give it a try. I really do like this modern take of a Beretta M9/92. |

Have had the slide for weeks, and mounted the dot, but still have not been to the range!
My slide is Langdon-supplied and looks and feels fine. Removed the factory slide, and the Langdon unit slipped on with no problem; dry-fire exercises and manipulating the 92FS manually, it feels fine to me. No hang-up feeling, but maybe that's only apparent when firing. It took a while but found a holster: kydex with a Safariland-like thumb-release retainer. Perhaps not as smooth as Safariland out of the box, but sits and feels fine. Manufactured by Midwest Tactical Solutions. |

That LTT is so cavalier about the aesthetically poor nature of that slide is very disappointing....esp from the man himself. I'd be ok with his response vis-a-vis the tight slide but the dismissive nature of how poor that slide looks does not give me warm fuzzes. |

Seems as though they mill then add a finish over the entire slide. Which causes the light roll marks(double finish). Doesn’t bother me any as a gun to me is a tool, not a IG photo op piece. How was the lead time on the Midwest holster, did they meet the estimated lead times? I’ve got one on order and look forward to checking it out. Still looking for a 13.5-1 barrel though

I have had no issues working the decocker. I used a dremel and cut out my JMCK AIWB holster and kept on going. I have a couple thousand rounds under it now.
***Do make sure the plate is loctited (real word?) on when it comes from LTT. Mine had the witness marks, but no loctite or VC3. Plate came loose in the first few hundred rounds. Once I got it all locked up and torqued to their specs; no issues since.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |
