RDO Drop Test After Thoughts with Ernest Langdon

[@ryant5652]

I hope Beretta appreciates what you have done for this platform

[@rockrat440]

As a recent Beretta 92 owner/shooter (coming from 1911s), I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the library of knowledge you have posted on this series of pistols! Thanks for another great video!

[@a300fe1]

Congratulations to LTT for cementing your place in the history of the Beretta 92!

[@Lowkeyactive]

I bet berettas like. Damn he’s done it again!😆

[@rickpollard1853]

I ordered a Compact RDO. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[@leereoder]

WOW! Thats a Big innovation for the 92. The 92 has come a long way since the 1980s thanks you Ernest. I have always loved the locking block design because the barrel doesn't tilt at an odd angle when cycling. To me that just makes muzzle rise ever worse. I got my first 92FS back in 1996 on my 21th birthday and have been buying 92s ever since. Today I still don't have a plastic striker fire pistol. I may have flirted with other designs like 1911s but the 92 has alway been the center of defense for me and my family. With the 92 RMR capability it will even the playing field with all the millions of Glock Suckers out there.

Excellent video! Thanks for explaining, how the weapon faired in the test! Be Safe!

How about some Hotrod parts for the 80 series. Like, Skeleton Hammer, Extended Mag Button, Threaded Barrel, Aluminum Grips, Higher Cap Mags, Comp Trigger and Trigger Bar. With the new surplus for 81s there could be a market for them. I have three 81BBs add would like Langdon Elite parts for them like I have on my 92 pistols. I also read on the Beretta forum that you can change calibers from 32 to 380 with just a barrel and a mag. With the blowback design of the 80 series I wonder if a 32NAA barrel would possible? I love the size of the 81 for CCW. If Beretta could make the 80 series in the U.S. to bring down cost and chamber it in 32NAA I think the 80 series could be very strong in the CCW market. Imagine an 80 ELITE or an 80 X.

Oh shit Mrs. Langdon, you have no idea how fast I'm about to send this slide in for that red dot cut.

[@johnneill5960]

I know a fair bit about firearms . Mr Langdon, lol , is the John Browning of Berettas just saying .

[@azzpizz5057]

Eres chingon!!

[@marcomapelli3033]

I hope you are investigating also how to improve magazine reliability... Last Saturday I had in my hands for the first time a 92x centurion and I felt in love with that great gun. My only complain was about the finishing and the incredibly cheap plastic mag plate.

[@LangdonTactical]

I don't think you would have the same issue that we had. The plastic plate that you have has metal inserts in it, ours was a MecGar plate. We chose it because it held 18 rounds and the standard magazine for the Elite LTT. I have never had this issue with the MecGar magazine before or since, but I have also never dropped the gun from 6 feet onto concrete with a fully loaded magazine.

[@RememberPele]

Where can someone get that vise block on your work bench?

[@RememberPele]

i meant bench block, the one shown at 2:25

[@LYLEWOLD]

so awesome to see you have upgrades available for CA gun owners. can the rdo pkg be added to the CA pkg? or are there any plans for a CA w/ rdo pkg? thanks again.

[@LangdonTactical]

We have packages available for CA customers. Check out our website.

[@Rnemhrd]

Love it 😀

[@jasonrogers6454]

How many rounds would you estimate that frame has seen?

[@LangdonTactical]

Very hard to say somewhere between 60 and 80 thousand. The frame was used in another drop test as well. We changed all the other parts, but let the frame be the sacrificial part.

[@jasonrogers6454]

@@LangdonTactical Very cool. Thanks!

[@TheRandomname951]

#cmononernie make the Elite series official again! Make one more model with the brigadier style slide! Plez!

[@bengerman9736]

I respect your opinion so what is your opinion of the Walther ppq m2 5in brl. as far as build and dependability

[@walterenomoto7552]

Note to self: Don't drop the firearm after you get the new RDO cut slide installed!! :) Thank you Ernest, Aimee and the LTT Crew!

[@MyLonewolf25]

If safariland will make an rmr/wml duty holster for this I will send my 92 in in a fucking heartbeat

[@LangdonTactical]

I would love them to do that, but it is not likely. They are all about volume, so unless a fairly large police department decides to approve this configuration for a department-wide issue duty gun, it will likely not happen.

[@MyLonewolf25]

Ernest Langdon hey never say never! The world is a strange place. I wonder if I could find someone to make one in kydex for a level 2

[@chillios2222]

@@LangdonTactical I was issued this weapon as my duty piece and had difficulty finding the right holsters or different holsters for it, we were issued the Safariland and it fit both the issue Beretta M9 with the rail and without the rail. We did not have the light mounted but on duty at night we wanted to go with the light/laser. Great safe weapon for duty carry and had not changed over to the Sig Model.

[@truesf345]

I still cry a little on every drop 😒

[@shahnxaoc7749]

Me too, and I don't even like Berettas.

[@snowgorilla9789]

If you drop your handgun from six feet more than once perhaps you should consider a pointed stick or a rock

[@suphakhen7470]

Wow

[@realtalk4real243]

The magazine falling apart was kinda bad

[@ernestlangdon3075]

Yeah, dropping a fully loaded magazine in the gun is hard on everything, especially when it lands on the floor plate.

[@robertelmore3616]

I'd like to actually see a zero check done after this test.

[@LangdonTactical]

Too late, we took the optic off to check the parts and look for damage.
