I have owned M9s over the years, various models, styles, etc. I've shot Uncle Sam's old and busted, and Wilson's new hotness models, etc. I had gotten out of Beretta M9s, but was intrigued when I heard Earnie Langdon had come out with one in partnership with Beretta and so I bought his 92 Elite LTT with his trigger work.
I have used and shot dozens of makes and models of handguns over the years and I've long gotten over "fan boy" reactions to the newest model handgun, or gizmo, or "upgrade" or whatever. I shoot them all competently, some better than others, and have mostly Glocks becuse they are ... Glocks.
So, I decided I wanted to get myself a really nice M9 again and chose Langdon's model of the 92.
Well ... ASTOUNDING ... probably because I had not shot a DA/SA with a superb trigger group in it for a very long time I was doubly impressed. Langdon's work on this model of the M2 is simply nothing short of amazing. I mean. Really. Amazing. I've had one of Wilson's brigadier tactical, but this is, in my opinion, significant better. Better feel, better balance and superior trigger.
The double action is smooth as butter and the single action is simply amazing.
I put the first magazine in it, a 20 round MecGar and stood at 7 yards and gave myself 30 seconds on the clock to put all 20 in the black of a B8 target circle. I was not sure what to expect, but the sight picture is fantastic, nice and crisp and the front fiber optic, thin like I like my front sight post and the more narrow rear sight opening, with plenty of daylight, really allows for fantastic accuracy. I squeezed off all 20 rounds in 22 seconds and here is the result.
I'm very pleased, to say the least, and look forward to putting many more rounds through it.
