It was at the local gun shop today when I saw a Langdon tactical compact with a bobbed hammer and for second thought it was a double action only model. I was preparing whatever lies I was going to need to tell my wife about the credit card when I realized it was not a double action model but just a Bobbed Hammer da/Sa model. If I went ahead and bought it what would I need to change it to a D model?

It's super easy, and can be reversed if you want to.Originally Posted by Greg Bell
1) Get a D hammer. This lack the single action notch.
2) Remove the sear (#40 on this diagram) and spring.
Reassemble, and have fun. The safety will still work.
You could also order a D Centurion slide. Just add the needed slide parts, AND add the D Hammer/ remove the sear as above.
I did something similar when I did a slide swap between my 92D Centurion and my 92FS Compact a few years ago.

Lurk on GunBroker and wait. They come up. The last nice one I remember went for close to $500.

Bought a police trade in 92D Centurion down in Wilmington NC bout seven months ago.... For $289...Had been languishing in the back of the trade in case for a while. Who could possibly want that carried a lot, hardly shot old thing.... It now has a home with the other Beretta's. Night sights even still slightly work.....
Been thinking about trying to build up a modernized one but have had that project on the very back burner while deployed and focusing on other stuff, both gun projects once I get home in a couple weeks and work stuffs...
I had a 92D Centurion. I slightly regret selling it. If someone were to offer a new one with a replaceable front sight, beveled magwell and maybe a rail I would be interested.
I had a 92D Centurion that I picked up cheap and recently gifted. It was neat, and I really liked it. I gave it a LTT TJIAB and stuffed some Wilson goodies into it. I was not aware that bare 92D Centurion slides were out there in the world for purchase. Hmmmmm.
Per the PF Code of Conduct, I have a commercial interest in the StreakTM product as sold by Ammo, Inc.
Got mine at a gunshow for $300. Got the slide relamped by Trijicon back when it was possible.
It's absolutely on my list of keepers.

Why replace the hammer? The one mentioned already having a bobbed hammer. If the sear is removed, the sear notch shouldn’t matter, right?
You sound like me, that gun is not what I want, but in this era of a seemingly endless options of Beretta 90 Series guns, after living through a near option-less era, it's the "gee, all those models are great, but if only they offered ..., then I'd be happy".
