    What you end up with after combining the LTT frame with the 92D slide is a DA/SA Beretta without a decocking lever because the LTT frame still has the sear parts. My LTT has the NP3 Trigger Job in a Bag using the Wilson trigger bar. This did allow me to get something close to what the 92D will feel like after swapping the trigger bar and a couple of springs. Definitely a lighter DA pull than stock.

    Something is happening.

    Or...you can remove the sear parts, use the LTT NP3 TJIAB and go DAO, with or without the spurless hammer. But, if you have the NP3 goodies, you'll likely have an NP3'd hammer-which I would keep. But to get the real advantage of the DAO setup, get rid of the sear.

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned...folks have been talking about G10 and plastic conversion grips being unavailable. Beretta has rubber conversion grips in both black and FDE in stock according to their website. Some folks don't like them, but they could be used as a placeholder until the other materials become available again.

    I like my LTT Elite too much in its DA/SA form to convert it into a DAO, as tempting as it would be to have a 92D with the best frame Beretta has ever produced. Maybe one day I’ll find someone who would prefer a 92X frame to the one that came with their LTT Elite.

    Legit reasoning. I practice my DAO Trigger control with a Ciener .22 Conversion Kit, but my best triggers are DA/SA(2 were early jobs done by LTT & 1 by D. Ohlasso)

    Pre covid/ panic/ riot/ armageddon there were ltt frames on gunbroker for just under $500. Probably worth watching on occasion if that's what you want.

    I received and installed the Beretta plastic overwrap grips from Midwest Gun Works today and I have to say they really transformed my experience shooting this pistol. They are pretty aggressive and uncomfortable for carry, but the profile is just what I needed to grip this gun.

    I think the over grip adjusts the grip angle just a bit to the Glock side which I also like.

    I put 383 rounds through today without any fatigue or real hot spots. the upper edge of the grip is a little sharp on the web and I sanded it down just a bit.

    I had zero FTLBEs, and zero double clutch issues with the larger grip. It pretty much solved my annoyances with the gun from my first outing.

    Adjusting the sights to the center of the dovetails front and back has made the gun shoot now. For me it hits top of front sight at 25 and drive the dot from 15 in with 115 grain ammo.

    Started with Dot Torture at 7 yds and did a very decent 48.

    10 yard: 7.35s, 0.52s splits, 97 This is essentially "The Test"

    Worked Garcia Dots at 7 yards and noticed that I immediately went to and preferred a target focus for this exercise. Not that it helped. Times from 7.5-5.5s after warm up. I think I could possibly clean this if the dots were 4" instead of 2"

    Worked doubles to see how fast I could get myself working this trigger: Never really got faster than 0.30s. But I also notice that at that pace I am not having to muscle the gun all over, it just settles back in to place and I fire again and it all seems to happen at about the speed I can work the trigger. It's a kind of low stress kind of feeling and I like it.

    Slowed down for some marksmanship worked singles, doubles, triples and quads on Finding Your Level. Untimed, just tried to try to make all the hits without stressing too much about the clock.

    So for me this grip is a total win. I hope the Hogue overgrip has the same or even bigger circumference. Loving this gun now.

    I checked the trigger weight after 500 rounds and at least 1000 dry pulls and it is still around 9.5lbs. My Langdon M9 came with a D spring and measures 7.5 after break in. I don't think this DXR is coming from the factory with a D spring. I had a bag with some PX4 D springs in it. They measured the same length as the spring that came out of the gun so I tried one and the trigger came down to 8lbs and feels identical to my old Police trade in D models and the M9.
