New Langdon Beretta Jun 2018

**1168** · 04-07-18, 09:04

A new Beretta 92/M9 with input from Ernest Langdon is coming. It will be available for pre-order in May, shipping in June (supposed to be). Features include:

Modified M9A1 frame
Vertec slide w/forward serrations
Decocker only “G” levers
Wilson/Dawson sights
Elite II stainless barrel
Elite II hammer
“D” hammer spring
VZ grips
Large mag release
Steel guide rod and trigger

The M9A1 frame has checkering, a rail, beveled magwell, and a relief cut in the backstrap to shorten the trigger reach that everyone loves to hate on the original M9. The M9A1 is my favorite Beretta frame so far. This new model will also have some recontouring where the trigger guard meets the frame.

Vertec slide means a dovetailed front sight.

This will be the ultimate evolution of the 92, IMO. Hopefully they make enough to be legal for Production and SSP.

This one is going to be hard to pass up.

That would go nicely with my Brig-Tac

Pic lifted from another forum specifically for Berettas. From what I gather, Langdon uses facebook to give updates on the gun. He sometimes pops in on forum discussions. It doesn’t show up on his website, or Beretta’s thus far.

I’ll probably pre-order two.

Hard to tell from that shot what is different about the frame. Can definitely see the serrations...look like a Brigadier Elite series to me.

I don’t think the slide is Brig. I can’t see the frame difference, either. My wild guess is that is a regular M9A1 frame in the pic, because it is a prototype.

I don’t even know what they are going to call this thing. I’m working on assembling something similar, and I was going to call it the M9A2, since it combines some features of the A1 with the A3.

You are right, slide doesn’t look quite like a Brig but the serrations looks like those of the Elites-I missed the part about being a Vertec slide.
