I took this class, 3 days in AZ (with the best night shooting class I've ever been in) with Mr. Langdon in Jan of 2019. Hands down- it was the best pistol class I've had in how to run a DA/SA pistol. Used a Langdon PX4CC they built for me. Flawless in it's performance. The tips and points I was shown have improved my shooting, safety, and gun handling for a life time. If you are on the fence, jump off, and take the class. Well worth your time and money.
I'm watching this and I'm seeing how good these lessons are. I'm getting my first CCW handgun in the coming month. I can't wait to meet Ernest one day.
It always helps to break things down to small pieces, analyze them, and work on each piece to improve overall performance. But, it takes having someone like him to guide you through what’s working and what, where and how you can improve. Once again, “attention to detail” particularly during training, then practice (correctly) to help ensure you will perform at your best when you need to. Good stuff. 👍
2:27 if you prep the trigger of a striker-fire in the last 10% of the presentation, what % would it be for a DA trigger? 20-40%? Because I’m trying to analyze your demonstration at 0:42 for the answer and I can detect movement in the hammer very close to the end of the presentation, maybe 10% too? Thanks!
Yes, it depends on the distance to the target and how aggressive one can be. The point is to not stop the gun and then try to hammer through the whole DA trigger pull. The percentages are just a guideline to help people understand how to be more aggressive on the trigger, it is not hard math.
I’m a retired USAF pilot and equate learning to use a firearm with pilot training. Highly refined skill, highly refined knowledge and judgement needed. Trying to find competent training out in the “hinterland” is almost impossible. As a “new guy” these videos are so far ahead of “local gun holder experts” they’re not on the same measurement scale. It’s odd learning to use a firearm without competent instruction. Doesn’t seem like annual training and skill demonstration required.
@@reker.a5790 It's not really a thigh rig, it sits really high. The leg strap (single strap) just keeps the holster in place and helps with the speed of the draw if the gun binds in the holster at all. Mobility is not really an issue unless I was maybe trying to do yoga.
All of this is very basic but oddly isnt taught in all "1st gun handling class" after we get our licences. Training we get varies so much. And most instructors werent necessarily ex-military or LE and competitive shooting champions. So, the training many of us get isn't really even tailored for competition or defence. We get "range shooting training". And from there I'm sure many go for their CC permits and start to EDC after maybe signing up for Krav Maga...heh... I wonder what the percentage is of the shooting community that actually do go for "tactical shooting 101" with a "qualified" trainer or school. Is it shockingly small? 25%? 10%? Sounds like a great course for training one might not have gotten or just for a refresh....
