Congratulations Bernetma for letting her pick! I never wear the clothes my wife picks for me. And though I dont pick her gun, she always gravitates to the Sig P238/380. | |||

Easiest way to tell. Did it come from Langdon or did it come from Beretta? If it came from Langdon it is all done for you. If it is a LTT from Beretta all the Langdon mods are done minus the TJIB(Trigger job in a bag). My LTT was from Beretta and the trigger was nice. Nicer feeling than any other Beretta trigger. I put in a TJIB and it brought it up to another level. Then you can get the NP3 coated trigger bar and stuff which they say smooths it out even more. There are different mainspring weights as well. | |||

My other Sig is a Steyr. |
Good deal on the LTT. Was at the LGS the other day buying all of their .38 Super when a guy walked in to buy a gun for his wife (who was not there) as her first gun. Said he wanted a lightweight revolver in 357 magnum. Can't imagine that it was fired more than once. | |||

Years ago we were holding an annual event at the Academy and as usual Sig supplied a firearm for the raffle. My wife wanted the signed Red Sox baseball so she bought one chance. While she didn't win the signed baseball, she did win the 229. Adam Painchaud was still the Academy Director back then. He told her pick anyone on the display wall. She had zero idea what she was doing so a friend who was the shop asst. mgr. helped her. What a mistake. For a half hour she looked at the all. I was not permitted to help in any way. She finally decided on one because it was "pretty". She fills out the 4473 which was comical and the employees are not permitted to assist in any way. another 125 minutes. NICS went through in a few minutes. The gun comes out from stock. They asked her if she wanted to check it. Couldn't get the box open. To this day it's in the safe unfired years later. | |||

Anecdote Alert:
Saw the outcome of that once and meddled a bit. A guy had furnished his wife with a Ruger SP101 and all the hot ammo she wanted... which wasn't much. I caught him looking the other way shooting his HK P7, "The Porsche of Pistols" and gave her a box of wadcutters. Five of those and she realized it didn't have to hurt. A few more and she had worked out her flinch. By the end of the box, she was hitting better than him. | |||

Did you get it from LTT directly, or a local shop? If it's from a local shop check and see if it's had the trigger job treatment from Langdon. Because the pistol is also sold through regular distributor channels without the trigger work. If this is the case, and you're impressed with the factory trigger, you'll be blown away by what Langdon can do and it's totally worth the extra expense to send the gun off to LTT and have the work done. | |||

I have a 92A1 and a 92S Smooth is a good way to describe these pistols. | |||

Absolutely, let her pick it out! We're a Sig family, but I made my 20 yo try a few G-locks, S&W's, etc, before she ever loaded a Sig. She liked the 320 better than my 226, and decided on the M17. Her weapon is now being pretty-fied; I'm glad it's modular, as I WILL NEVER SHOOT a Pearlescent Sea Foam Green handgun in public! "I won't engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man." | |||

I picked up a Wilson as my first Beretta and was let down by the trigger- I was expecting something far better for the price of the pistol. The LTT TJIAB has made it my nicest trigger in a hammer fired gun. The only thing that I shoot better is a Grayguns competition kit P320. I'm seriously eyeing the LTT red dot slide so I can put an SRO on top. It doesn't get shot much now since my dot-equipped guns get all the love, and that thing seriously deserves more range time! | |||

That is correct Good for you (and her). If a girl, or anyone, likes the gun and it feels right and, more importantly, she has fun shooting it, she’ll be more willing to carry it and go shooting with you. How many girls were sold an air weight .38spl and shot it one time and never picked it up again? “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers. | |||

All good points. I hope she enjoys shooting it and it builds her confidence to the point she wants to get more training. I only know so much and it is really hard to teach your own child. | |||
