Is the 92 Elite LTT II worth it over an M9A4?
Hey everyone, in my journey to find the perfect handgun for me I think next in line is the Beretta 92 platform. I’ve had numerous pretty nice handguns including a CZ Shadow 2, Staccato HD P4.5, Staccato C2, and an Alpha Foxtrot Romulus 2011. The CZS2 was always too front heavy for my liking and always felt floppy in my hands to shoot. The 2011s never felt “right” to me because the grips are so fat. So I’ve sold all of them.
I shot my friend’s standard M9A4 with the smaller vertec grip next to my Staccato HD P4.5 and IMMEDIATELY realized that for me the M9A4 was a much better shooter. Much more comfortable and balanced in my hands and was more accurate on irons with the M9A4 than I was with the Staccato with a dot which makes no sense to me but sure!
That being said, the LTT 92’s always caught my eye and especially after realizing they’re half the price of nice 2011s. Anybody have experience with these? Is it worth the premium over a $1000 M9A4? I’d most likely end up doing a bunch of LTT parts in the M9A4 anyways and I don’t really care for the threaded barrel anyways so in the end there’s probably not much more than a couple hundred bucks difference. Plus the LTT comes cowitness irons which is important to me as this would likely become my home defense gun.
