You're not technically wrong as far as I know, but that is a strong comment/implication about durability and reliability of the LTT RDO modifications.
As the owner of 3 LTT RDO, I take that assumption with a grain of salt, but take no offense.

LTT also has downsides in that you have G as your only option, you can't use your safety as a safety (F) if you want to. There is also no real comprehensive testing on what effects if any the modifications to the top end have on reliability and durability, which might add some questions about usage of a weapon with that slide as a duty or combat weapon and not just a range/competition weapon.
M9a4 slide is affected by neither it appears, making no changes to the top end and just adding mounting holes, and retaining normal Vertec-based safety options where you can have either F or G configuration as well as go back and forth.

No really. I love Ernie Langdon but the fact remains the top end is a big part of the 92’s legendary reliability, and changes have been made and we don’t have anyone I’m aware of that’s run through a 20,000+ endurance test or two or done any extensive adverse conditions testing, which is something we’ve got ample data on for the M9 and it’s variants. Just for instance, the firing pin design is notable for even being able to be broken and frequently still continue firing semi-reliably until the slide can be taken apart. We don’t know if the modded top end still has that capability.
It’s not an insult, it’s just a note on lack of data at this time.
