The matte black Beretta 92 Elite LTT full-size semi-automatic is a force of beauty. It wraps extensive thinking, features, styling and technology around a 4.7” long barrel. It’s a capacious 18+1 capacity single-action/double-action package measuring 8.4” long, 5.4” tall and 1.5” wide. Unloaded weight is 34.8 ounces, or almost two pounds.

The full-size Beretta 92 Elite LTT was co-developed with Langdon Tactical Technology (LTT) of Gilbert, Arizona. Moreover it’s assembled in Gallatin, Tennessee, northeast of Nashville.

The Beretta 92 Elite LTT looks familiar because of its more than passing resemblance to the M1911. But keep staring to start ingesting fascinating differences. Coolest is that this Beretta has a cut-away Vertec/Beretta M9A3 lightening slide that is open to the sky from just behind the front sight all the way to the back of the cut-down ejection port. It reveals the normally mostly hidden barrel in its stainless steel splendor. The slide has numerous tightly packed diagonal cocking serrations at front and back. The snout has curved beveling that flares out front to back.

This 92’s sight radius spans 6.4” between the red fiber optic front sight and blackout square notched rear sight. The red contrasts beautifully against the rear sight’s stark black. Both the sights have glare-cutting horizontal serrations. The rear sight eschews a ramp in favor of vertical surfaces at front and back, permitting one handed slide operations against a suitable hard surface.

The left-hand only thumb safety is the coveted G-Model decocker. It hinges just below the sight on the slide and not on the frame as might a M1911. The safety reveals a red dot on either side when set to fire mode. Nearby is a skeletonized Elite II hammer.

The barrel has a nice target crown. Under the muzzle is a single-slot Picatinny accessory rail.

The LTT Trigger is stainless steel, and thus stands out beautifully against the rest of the trigger guard that bulges down but also features a mild undercut. The front-face is not purely vertical, but also has a tactile notch for more intuitive feel. Additionally, the trigger guard and trigger are significantly bigger than on the M1911.

In contrast, the grip is narrower front to back and lacks a grip safety. Both these facets potentially make the Beretta friendlier to smaller hands.

The Beretta has an oversized magazine release and a medium-length beavertail.

The grip is 1.3” wide. It’s flanked by ultra-thin VZ/LTT G10 grips. Both these grip panels have deep cut tall diamond checkering, and they’re black, like the rest of the gun. They’re emblazoned with the LTT rondel logo.

Interestingly, the right grip panel jackets the back of the disassembly latch and the magazine release. And they’re fastened to the frame using stainless steel hex head screws. The frontstrap and curved backstrap are pyramid stippled.

This gun sells new with either three 10-round or three 18-round double-stack magazines. These work nicely in concert with the gun’s beveled magazine well.

The gun is, as already mentioned, matte black. But the finish is actually a Cerakoted over the frame and slide while other parts are NP3 treated.

For so many reasons, the Beretta 92 Elite LTT competition semi-automatic is most compelling. Looking for a present for yourself? Maybe this will be the one.
