$352 to have it done to your gun is very reasonable. The cost of buying his gun starting at $1500 seems a lot to me
I know Ernie. I’ve sold him guns. I had a beretta he modified for me (we’re talking almost 13 years ago now)...and I’ve taken classes with him. I was sorry when he left Virginia, but he is killing it now with LTT.
I hope he sells thousands of them

I agree!
He did mention on the forum he frequents that he's in the process of getting slides so that one can purchase pre-cut slides vs. sending a slide in. I think that's the route I'll go - and maybe wait just a little while to make sure the kinks are worked out. (Hopefully the higher front sight won't be an issue with existing holsters.)

When you consider his pistols start at $1000 on his website, and that price also includes the RDO cut and a trigger job - the math comes out almost the same. He's counting on the "one-stop shopping crowd".
You can easily find NIB Elite LTTs for sub $900, and have even seen one or two go for $799.
Sounds like there is much more to doing the job than just doing the machine work. A new firing pin, firing pin block and a few other components have to be changed out. Sounds like a pretty good price to me.

This is great! When I add a bruntion M9A3 to my collection next year I will send it in for both the trigger job and RMR cut.

Don’t think he mentioned milling in the video. That is less desirable for me. I have a “ghost” INOX 92FS Brig and don’t want to permanently modify it. I guess I’ll keep looking for a good deal on something else Beretta
--------------------------- My hovercraft is full of eels.
Well he mentions how the lower plate is dovetailed into the front of slide milling in addition to 3 screws vice the normal 2 mounting to slide.
I bought the TJIAB, trigger job in a bag for all my 92’s other than my G-SD and Elite II. It was so good I went full out and got a consecutive set of the LTT when it first came out. Low to mid double digit serial number. Totally worth it. It just flat out shoots.
Only confusion for me was what slides can be sent in. 92X, M9A3, 92A1, etc. I have a couple plain Jane Vertec slides I bought when Beretta had them in stock. I need to call and find out if they are doable.
If this is your thing, LTT is the place to go. Period. WC might have nicer finishes but Ernest is the best gun to shoot.

I got mine for $750. Couldn't pull the wallet out fast enough.
What, me worry?

I suspect that they're limiting it to slides that have dovetailed front sights.

Does that mean my old 92FS Brigadier might be compatible?
Right now, only Vertec slides (Regular thickness/Dovetail front sight) can be milled. Brig slides might come later, but this is where they're starting for now.
And considering CZ Custom wanted to charge me the same amount to run the Trijicon 1911 adapter plate on a CZ-75 + the cost of the adapter and front sight, that's a really good deal for everything they had to do to get that to work.

A customer recently transferred in a LTT bought direct from Langdon's website. My, was that trigger awfully nice. So much better than the ones that Beretta has been shipping with. Adding on the RDO option would be the veritable cherry on top.

I traded into an LTT Elite that originally came from Beretta, and installed the LTT Trigger Job in a Bag with the LTT optimized trigger bar and 12 lb mainspring. Smooth 7 lb DA and 3.5 lb SA.

His TJIAB is a good deal. He says it’s 90% of his custom job. Maybe, it’s pretty darn good is all I know.
The standard width, dovetailed front sight thing makes sense. I might have to send in in. I have an RMR without a home so it’s almost like I have no choice. Lol

man, i knew clicking on this thread would cost me money. i have a feeling this one will have optics in the very near future. i was just saying that this would be my favorite platform if it took optics.

If one didn't care about having BUIS, it seems any Beretta slide could be done. Looks like he's limiting it to those slides so a taller front sight can be installed.
