I’m think very little. The LTT plates use 3 screws and sits lower. I think that’s what people want out of most PMO solutions.Quote:

Speaking for myself, I’ll be sticking with Langdon’s plate design for future Berettas. The OEM offering looks obnoxiously tall, particularly once BUIS are considered.
For just a fun gun with little to no need for BUIS, I’d consider the A4 but for a duty or other serious use pistol I’d go LTT no question.
I've still got Infantry rifle company machine gunners coming through the raid course carrying the M9. Recon, PMO and some others have the M18 but I don't think they are getting pushed out to the fleet units very quickly compared to the Army.
Anyone know the total number of M9's delivered to the US military from 1985? I emailed BerettaUSA but haven't received a reply.
So, I'm gonna have to wait awhile before putting in paperwork for that M9 through the Civilian Marksmanship Program, huh?
:rolleyes:
Somewhere around 618,000 if we take this article as accurate:Quote:
