Langdon Tactical Training
« on: January 15, 2019, 08:02:30 AM »
Just completed a 2-day Tactical Handgun training course with Ernest Langdon. It was an excellent and demanding experience that pushed me beyond my comfort zone, exposed my shooting flaws and bad habits to continue to work on, and I learned a ton. Coming from an educational background, I pay a fair bit of attention to teaching techniques, and Ernest isn't just a highly qualified shooter with a seriously impressive background - he's also someone who takes the teaching side of things seriously and clearly does his homework on teaching techniques and learning styles. In addition, I knew that if I was going to invest in a training opportunity, I really wanted to seek out an instructor who fully understands the DA/SA platform and really knows how to run them. If you know anything about Ernest, you know he's on the 'short list' in this regard.

Overall, it was a completely worthwhile weekend and if you've been considering doing a class with Ernest, I would highly recommend him.

I ran my SP-01 Tac on day 1 and my P-07 on day 2, putting 1,000 rounds through them. Zero issues, of course.  :)

Very nice! That's a neat looking range.

Curious, why the pistol change up between days?
List of guns here?

No particular reason, other than I brought both with me, and wanted to get some intensive time with both.

Both honestly, after a full day of handling and shooting a 40+ oz. pistol, I was pretty happy to switch to the P07 on day 2.  ;)

Ha! I wish. My best time was 8:30. I have serious respect for those who have done it in under 5.
