Beretta 92 Elite LTT Compact vs. Sig p229 Legion?

[Joe in PNG]

I'd go with the Beretta- and did, actually.

To me the gold standard for doing this right is HK. They developed a nearly perfect pistol mag for the P30 and made it work in the completely different VP9.

Actually, they developed the mag for the USP Compact, used it in the P2000, then lengthened it for the P30 and also used that in the completely-different-but-basically-a-striker-fired-version-of-the-same-gun VP9. And it was really a smaller version of the USP45 mag.

Also, Glock has done OK using different-length versions of the same mag that work in pretty much all their pistols of a given caliber.

And even Sig shares mags and grip modules between the P250 and P320, which have completely different actions.

Well, they basically only make one gun, just in different sizes and calibers.

Thanks! I’ll check those threads out. The PX-4 has never been on my radar at all. It just looks so... unique But it sounds like when you get past the looks, it’s very effective. There’s just a certain elegance about the 92 Compact that appeals to me.

One thing I meant to add is, I’ve owned 92s for over two decades, have four 92 variants, three being LTTs I got from LTT and two Px4Ccs also from LTT, and the fourth 92 having had LTT trigger work since around the turn of the century. The one I carry every day now is the LTT 92c. They are all excellent and as i and several have mentioned LTT is a great place to deal with.

Another plus for the Beretta. I pretty much started out in SIGs with old P228's which I really loved. Did the armorer's class. Carried and shot for many years. This past year I bought my first Beretta in the age of Wilson/LTT. Now I've got three, and I LOVE my compact. It's a wilson compact with LTT TJIB. And it's just great. I've got one SIG P229 left, and it's just become a gift to a friend.

For those of you who got your 92 model directly from LTT, did you choose to go with the NP3 option? If so, what was the deciding factor for you?

[Medusa]

Yes. I wanted the extra corrosion resistance provided by NP3 because I’ve carried all of them at some point so there is perspiration to deal with, and we shoot matches and train in PNW rain. It’s nice to have. Essential, idk, but I’m really glad to have it. That’s my experience, ommv.

I bought one of the three 92 LTT pistols I have with NP3 in the event I ever would carry it as I live in the humid southeast and have lots of experience going back to the 1990s with NP3.
