Today was my last match of 2023. One of the places I compete at has a "Run What You Brung" match any time there is a 5th Sunday of the month. Since centerfire rifles are allowed at this match, and everything is relatively close, only paper targets are used. Most folks will run a gun that they don't typically shoot. Some have interesting things that make for good conversation. One of the gentlemen I normally squad with at this location had a transferrable M16A1 and an M4A1 that he ran today. The stages are typically short, burner types but they're fun overall.
During Black Friday of 2022 I purchased a Beretta 92X Performance from LTT with their trigger job. The double action is smooth with no stacking and very light for what it is. The single action consistently pulls just under 2lbs. This was an irons only gun when I purchased it. I've run it a few times at various USPSA and MGM matches throughout 2023 irons only. Since LTT started offering RDO cuts for all manner of Beretta 92s I toyed with sending the slide back their way for a cut. I finally took the plunge in late October and received the slide back earlier this week. It's now topped with a 507 Comp-GR, which I promptly zeroed a few days ago as I anxiously waited to run this gun at this match. Those of you that have watched my previous videos know that I typically run an Alchemy Custom Weaponry Quantico HiCap from concealment at USPSA matches and from a Safariland RDSO at multi-gun matches while I LARP in my kit. Unloaded with empty 20rd mag, the 507 Comp, and a Surefire X300V it weighs in at 54.6oz. My Quantico HiCap similarly configured is 44oz. Today was a nice change of pace. This gun is so fun to shoot and it's extremely flat. It's likely going to see more trigger time. Apologies for the rambling. Here's the combined vid.
