We are excited to bring you his teachings in small nuggets of information to share his knowledge, why and demonstrate with students on the how.

“Listening to someone tell you what to do is easy in the moment – “Just do it this way.” If you don’t understand the why, it’s easy to be convinced to do it differently. Understanding the why behind the techniques will help a person learn to do and execute precisely and consistently. Firearms and shooting have always been a passion for me – from competitive or practical to hobby and everyday carry purposes – being able to share this information in a clear and concise way is important to me. There are millions on new gun owners who need the fundamental skills to learn the gun, how to safely use their firearm if they choose to have one for personal every day carry or home defense.” – Ernest Langdon, President of Langdon Tactical Technology, Inc.
