The only downside about the M9A3 is option to add a reflex sight. Beretta listened and just released this beauty https://www.beretta.com/en-us/m9a4-...5Fg&utm_content=159157855&utm_source=hs_email
It’s already begun.Gonna see several m9s in the classifieds
The factory one seems to sit higher over bore than the LTT so I’m guessing Ernest had some input without giving away all his secretsIf people are dumping 92's to get optics cuts sending them off to Langdon Tactical (they guy who made optics on a 92 possible)
Custom Gun Work - LTT 92 RDO Cut
It's our mission to provide the skills, knowledge and equipment to have confidence under duress. Custom gun work for Beretta, Glock, HK, Hellcat, & more.www.langdontactical.com
I wonder if Beretta paid Langdon for his modified system or came up with their own work around.
Have somebody cut a dovetail to fit a new sight I assume.I have a 92 with a fixed front sight...how would I get it set up so a tritium front sight could be installed?
I'd carry the dang thing if I could get a tritium front sight on it...smooth shooter!!!

Yeah, Beretta's solution doesn't look like it mounts the dot any lower than a plate that goes in the rear sight dovetail. I guess part of that is just the mechanical reality of the 92's slide and the lack of a single standardized mounting pattern. Langdon mills them for specific dots, right? So of course they can get a little lower.One of the pictures suggests M9A4's solution is not a true native mount but just two slots cut on the slide to mount an adapter that sits on top. A "cheapo" solution not like LTT's. It does leave the rear dovetail intact so has the potential benefit of co-witnessing if there are sufficiently tall suppressor sights. I have Trijicon's dovetail mount on my 92x but Beretta's suppressor sights are too short to co-witness.

I dunno, the 92 just doesn't seem suited to a dot and I don't have any desire to see mine cut up to mount one. Not when I could just buy so many pistols (or even just slides) whose design allows the dot to nestle down into the slide and cowitness with sights that aren't half an inch tall.
Yeah there's a big issue with the firing pin safety that rises up out of the slide, and maybe some conflict with the decocker/safety. Whereas the top of the Glock slide above the striker channel contains nothing but solid metal.With the safety/decocker located in the slide, I think LTT had to re-engineer some of the internals to free up real estate. I debated sending the slide to LTT to get milled and some of the internals replaced. I went with getting Trijicon's dovetail mount which had a thin adapter plate, probably because it's made of steel, and also sat close to the slide. Significantly thinner than EGW adapters on my CZ 75s and PPQ which are aluminum. Sits higher than LTT's milled solution, but it seemed by not that much. EGW makes great adapters but oddly nothing for Beretta 92s.
