The Faces of the M9 - Ernest Langdon, USMC

Cool video...hopefully Beretta will start listening to him and bring back an updated Elite 92FS and Storm.

Ernest Langdon is an excellent instructor and an awesome shooter. He won several IDPA National Championship with his Beretta Elite as well as a Sig 220 and a S&W 1911. He won championships while working and shooting for three different gun makers. I brought him to our range a few years ago and learned a lot about shooting accurately and quickly. He can run a double action semi auto better than most people. He is coming back to our range for a class in September.

Stay tuned for more information.

Good video. I would have enjoyed it more without the background music.

I might phrase it more along the lines of, "He can run a double action semi auto better than anyone."
Or maybe, "He can run a double action semi auto better than most people can do anything."

Bring back the damned Elite models FFS...

I don't want to step on several other people's toes. There are a handful of great Beretta shooters.

I should have been more specific. Id prefer the Elite II's as i dig the forward cocking serrations.

My Son and I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Langdon at the IDPA Nationals at Mid-South back in 2002.
I paid him the remaining balance for the custom work he did on my Elite II. It really made my (at the time) 9 year old sons day. It was nice to see my Son smile like that considering he had lost his mother to cancer months earlier.
He was a true Gentleman.
Here is my Elite II and another pic showing the difference in slide thickness between that and a 92a1.
