Hello Ernest a pleasure and honor to greet you, I am a fan of the Beretta, and now I have the Beretta 92 X Full Size a beauty and I practice with crossdraw position (C&G holster) the dryfire, if you did a program about that it would be great .. greetings from Colorado ..Abel
Any help with this question will be greatly appreciated! I have a Beretta M9A3 with a Surefire X300U, I am a big fan of Safariland holsters but the problem I am running into is when I use there holster finder nothing comes up for my pistol/ light combo. Any suggestions on what I should use for the finder?
There are a couple Safariland holsters that fit, but we are working on a really nice Duty Holster from US Duty Gear. It is basically a Safariland made buy the same guys after they moved production to Mexico.
Earnest, I have been looking and just maybe I don't quite understand but ... I have two 92 SB's (one is a compact) and I am looking for holsters for them. I have called and corresponded with several holster manufacturers. No one seems to have anything for appendix carry. Where would be a good place to look?
You can use a 92FS holster or the holsters that we sell for the full size. It does not need to be an "SB" holster and your SB is dimensionally the same as an old 92FS or FS Compact. Most modern holster lock into the inside of the trigger guard area. The holsters we have should fit your gun just fine.
Safariland 6035-7312: Just received this holster for a WC BrigTac w/SF300U and it doesn’t fit. It appears that the two plastic pieces inside the holster which contact the slide on each side (left/right) are cut for a standard 92 slide vs. the thicker Brigadier slide. With that said, I’m going to try and thin out the plastic pieces with a dremel and adjust the fit.
@@wpb6254 Safariland must have changed the inserts since Ernie’s review. So yes, it does work. It took some time though, and about a couple dozen fit tests which was a PIA. The first thing was to get an idea of where the slide contacts the plastic. I found that on mine it was the width and height. Unfortunately I don’t have a “normal” 92FS or M9 to test fit, but the orientation of the plastic “rail” is to slide underneath each ledge of the slide. So basically I ground off the inner and top part the rail. From there I used a belt sander with a 240grit belt and slowly started creating a ramp at the leading edge of the plastic so the slide would engage the rail. Replace the rail and test fit. Once I created the “ramp”, it was clear where the slide hit the rail. Repeat for the other side. Once I saw the marks where the slide hits on both sides, I put the flat rail surface on the sander and ground down to the same level as the witness mark. I took off a little bit of material at a time and slowly the gun would insert further and further into the holster. It definitely doesn’t go in as easily as Ernies example. But I’m hoping with use, the plastic will wear in. Right now it feels like a holster where the retention screw is cranked a little too tight. But I prefer a little bit too tight than loose. I had a front bushing put on my Beretta (like the Beretta Combat) so I also had to mess with the plastic insert on the muzzle end. I considered taking it out completely but found I could over insert the gun without it, so I modded it. You may or may not have to do that.
@@jijisan01 awesome man thanks! I’m gonna have to do the same to mine. I was let down when I got it after 2 1/2months being on order and it didn’t work.
Any recommendations for a 92fs IWB? I bought a "we the people" and it's fairly comfortable but gets uncomfortable when I sit for awhile. I'm contemplating a beretta brand or a keeper holster.
I have yet to be able to find a holster to fit my 92 Elite LTT Centurion with RDO Slide. The FRONT TALL SIGHT seems to be the main issue. VERY FRUSTRATING about ready to sell the gun because of this. NO LIGHT just an HOLOSON SIGHT and tall front sight.
I have a Beretta 96 centurion with a grip and rail system BC2. I am looking for a holster that can handle the 96 Centurion with a light, is there one that you can recommend? I would like a low ride holster if possible.
I have never tried to put one of those in a holster, so we cannot help. The holster would also likely be light specific. I would check out US Duty Gear and see what they have.
Any good recommendations or tips on a good full size px4 holster with a small laser attachment? Been a bit of a pain so far narrowing down a comfortable but secure one so far. Thx.
You are going to have to contact the holster manufacture and would need to be specific about exactly which laser you are attaching to the gun and where it is located.
@@LangdonTactical Alright. Ya its just one of those cheap little square lower rail mounted lasers. Just a targeting assist considering I'm dealing with some vision issues. Anyway.. thanks for the suggestion.
I am having the hardest time finding a holster for my M9A3 with an olight pl pro Valkyrie. Really want a safariland land but don’t think they have anything. Anyone else having this issue?
Hey both of y’all, they don’t make an als with a light. They make one without one, I have it, but it no longer has retention. Meaning I can pull it out of the holster without pushing the button. I have the tan duty holster langdon has in this video, and it doesn’t work well with my m9a3 either.
I'm really close to "pulling the trigger" on a purchase of either PX4 Compact Carry or Full. I've shot both and prefer the Full but I worry about how realistic it can be to carry the Full size which is what I would like to do. So I figured I'd ask the guy who probably knows best about carrying a PX4 since I've seen you respond to a lot of comments. Would you or have you carried the Full rather than the Compact? Would you advise against it for a daily carry? I know you daily carried the compact for quite some time and may still do. Do you consider the Full to only be a range / home defense / duty pistol?
I have carried both. Right now the PX4 Compact Carry is still my daily carry. It shoots like a full-size gun but it is a little smaller than the Full-Size PX4. The Full-Size PX4 is not a large gun and can easily be carried daily. It would come down to individual taste, holster location, and clothing.
@Spike Flea I went with the full with plans to get the compact carry at a future date. The PX4 Full size ended up being fairly easy to conceal for me in appendix carry with a good kydex holster. Not super comfortable in a seated position for a long time but perfectly find standing.
I’ve got a Wilson Combat 92G Centurion Tactical and was looking at the Tier 1 Concealed T1 Echo IWB kydex holster… the options they give are: BERETTA 92 COMPACT (WITH RAIL), BERETTA 92 FULL SIZE (WITH RAIL), BERETTA M9A3… would any of those options work with my centurion tactical?
You would need to talk to Tier 1 about fitment of their holsters and different models. The Centurion Tactical should fit in the 92 Compact With Rail holster.
so an m9a3 holster will fit my m9a4 centurion? really hoping this is true because i wanna get a nice holster but they dont offer anything for my specific model
I am having troubles finding a safariland holster that has ALS retention. I have the Elite LTT full size from LangdonTactical.com. When I search my gun they provide many models: 92fs / 92fs Vertec / 92g Elite / 92 vertec m9a1 / 92 m9a1 etc. Its frustrating because idk what the difference is. I just know 92G Elite LTT. It’s the only gun I need. Please help me out Ernest. PLEASE!
As stated in the video, the Elite LTT, M9A3, Vertec and M9A1 are all the same gun when it comes to holster fit. So those ones you have found will fit the Elite LTT.
That is the issue with fixed sights and all the different ammo on the market. No matter what you do, some guns will not hit exactly to point of aim for everyone and every ammo. A few guns will need a taller rear sight with some ammo and some guns will hit a little high. Distance to the target also makes a difference.
@@ernestlangdon3075 I shoot fenix 147 grain, very light ammo, I am much more accurate with your Beretta and less recoil than my G5 glock 17, I will just aim a bit high, everyone at the club wants your beretta, we have a tier 4 match idpa in May 2020 at Malabar central Florida , I've won DC overall and dc in my division consistently, I know I will do better now
@@ernestlangdon3075 howdy, I shot another match and shot 25-50 yards POI is way low from the POA, is there a shorter sight set for the centurion, I have the stock red fiber notch set
@@floridaplumber7512 It is a simple math problem. You just have to figure out exactly how low you are at a given distance and the exact ammo that you want to shoot. Your best bet is to get a taller rear sight, not a shorter front sight. Wilson Combat makes several different heights and styles of rear sights for the Beretta 92 dovetail. The stock Elite rear sight is .290" tall, you simply have to do the math of how far to move the point of impact.
Nice nice, I was interested to hear your opinion about the als system. The 7360-73-412 or 7360-73-411 is a newer design I guess, but it’s a pretty awesome setup.
Berreta told me the beretta leather iwb holster mod. 01 - easy fit works with the berreta 92X performance defensive. Not sure about the other models though
I've been buying and trying for three months now and still haven't found one. All have been returned due to none fitment. I have a 92A1. I would love to find a competition/drop holster for it, but it seems they don't exist. Maybe I can find someone to make a custom holster. It's been brutal.
The holster needs to be specifically for a 92A1 in most cases just because of the nose of the slide right below the barrel. It is much larger right around the recoil spring guide rod area of the slide. You may want to grab one of your kydex holsters that will not fit, meaning it goes most of the way and stops about an inch from seating, and take a blow dryer to the end of the holster. Take your time a go slow, heat up the holster, and push the"unloaded" gun all the way in. Thousands of people have done exactly that over the years. Look up some videos on that, I am sure there are many of them.
I have this same firearm and can relate to your struggle. I ended up buying C&G holster for a 92A3 with a TL1-HL light set up. Wouldn't fit, as expected but... went a bought a cheap heat gun (from Habor Freight, $20) and $3 worth of Chicago style screw-no prong/flat, one metal and one rubber washer). Fifteen minutes of time with the heat gun and small drill hole right under below the light for hardware to have a home did it. You now can adjust the retention/pressure on the holster. Good luck
@@joeacp4525 I'll definitely check out the holster you mentioned. Thanks for the info! Did you mean a M9A3? I'm not aware of a 92A3. I did find a holster from Hybrid Hidden Holsters that is half leather, half kydex. The pistol fits and I can open carry or conceal carry with it. It does not, however, have any retention other than pressure of the holster holding it in. I really want a "duty" style holster for it. I'm trying to get Alien Gear to make one, but they need a 92A1 to destroy in the mold making process. Maybe I'll just buy them one and send it to be destroyed, if it means I can get a 3 level retention holster that can fit an optic and light. I'll post back here if they're gonna make one =]
Holsters for the 92A1 will work and some for the M9A1 will work. You would have to talk to the specific holster manufacture to find out what gun fits their holster.
The Brigadier Tactical holster will likely fit, but it is going to depend on the manufacture of that holster and how they mold it for the gun and how it fits around the trigger guard. If the holster is built to take a light, you should good to go for sure and they will have to leave room for the light on the front of the trigger guard.
I would greatly appreciate an updated version of this video that takes into account the suppressor-height sights on the RDO slides.
A 92A1 with a TLR1 will fit in a Safariland 6280-73421. In case anyone else has the red headed stepchild for work as well. 😂
@ Jamie A Thank you
Thanks I have 92a1 as well
Milt Sparks made me an excellent leather off duty holster for my LTT 92 full size. The only down side was the 12 to 16 week wait.
As always great info Ernest. Great vid wish you would do more.
Great video, could you make one on the PX4 holsters that are readily available on your site. Tks
X100 on this 🙏🙏

What would you recommend as a best holster for a elite ltt berreta 92 with a light?
Right now I think the Floodlight OWB is one of the best options.
Wilson combat and 92x options?
Depends on which one. There are several different models of 92X and Wilson Combat Berettas.

Any that support the rail and the rounded trigger guard. Compact would be nice so I’ll actually conceal carry one daily
Any level 3 that would fit a red dot and a light?

Shooting your new Centurion is amazing, red fiber iron sights are shooting low, I shoot below the red dot to hit bullseye
