Experience with the Beretta 92X RDO?

[gato naranja]

The DA has really smoothed out, and SA is crisp, and short.
I need to shoot it more. Definitely.

What is the recoil impulse like? Tame and fairly flat?

This is just a CAD drawing right now, but could be a really cool development

Extremely mild and very flat.
Almost like the slide is "slow", but it's not.
Very very controllable.
Let my 95 pound wife shoot it, she was nailing the center of the B5.

Dang it, I am still getting the hots for one of these rigs.

They make an LTT RDO plate for the 509T. Maybe that would be an OK substitute to the ACRO? I have a Centurion LTT and a Wilson Centurion with that optic. The BUIS sits with the bottom of the rear notch basically level with the deck of the optic. I like slightly lower so it just peeks out, but with a fairly large window on a 509T it does not cover much.

Thanks for the feedback, that looks like a nice setup.

I'm thinking irrational thoughts about a 92X RDO with a Trijicon SRO and a Jarvis compensator....

All should know these things :
1. Beretta takes forever to send you the free mount....
2. Once you mount the optic, the sights are useless.... I mean, you cannot cowitness with the Beretta plates.
Folks that want and need to do so should not purchase the RDO model, but rather a non RDO, and send the slide to LTT.

The way I saw it was :
My first trip to dot world, if I didn't like it, I'd dismount it.
We shoot our ar rifles with just a dot, or with the BUIS folded... What would the difference be with the pistol, short of the dot failing.

To which, I plan to purchase the trijicon rm05, dual illumination model, that does not need batteries, any 'may' be less of a chance to fail.

All that being said, this is a well built, accurate, easy to shoot pistol.

Edit:
After speaking with the folks at Langdon, they cannot install their system on an RDO gun. Only non RDO guns.

In about mid April, I bought another beretta ;
This time, a 92x Centurion, non-rdo. Bought it used, about 200 rounds thru it.

The slide went out to Langdon Tactical, and I had it cut for their RDO-RMR. Had the barrel cut flush with the slide, and their 20% crown applied.
Had the LTT logo engraving done on the slide, in the same way as he supplies his guns.
With the RDO cut, came the G conversion, Decocker only.
While the slide was there, I installed the TJIAB, with a 13# hammer spring and the flush hammer. A set of LOK Veloce grips.
When the slide arrived, a Trijicon RMR RM04 was mounted.

Here's the result.


The DA trigger is maybe 6-8 pounds, and the SA is probably about 4.5 pounds.
The reset is incredibly short, and the balance of the centurion is spot on.

I'm really pleased with the results, and it shoots like a charm.
