LTT stands for Light Target Trigger in Beretta's range, and the Elite LTT Compact gives you a lighter and smoother pull on a shortened 92 frame. It is chambered in 9mm, finished in blue and black, and it is new.

The G means a decocker-only lever, and the Elite line carries better finishing than the base model. The result is a pistol with a crisp look and a trigger that feels refined. Compact here means a shorter barrel and grip than the full-size 92, which helps with carry and handling.

Blue and black refers to blued steel parts and a black frame or grips. Bluing looks rich, but it needs a little more care than stainless. Wipe the pistol down after you shoot or carry it in damp weather, and a thin coat of oil will do the rest.

A compact Elite is a good pick for someone who wants quality and a nice feel in a smaller package. It also suits shooters with medium hands who find the full-size grip a stretch. The pistol ships to a licensed dealer you choose, where you complete the background check and pick it up.
