BAM!

Actually, Ernie hung out the LTT shingle long before that. I have some of his spare parts in Langdon Tactical bags with a Warrenton, VA address when he was still local here in VA.

I have an LTT Compact with LTT trigger job and NP3 parts, a brand new full size LTT that I've got TJIAB parts for and an LTT frame I built out with an Inox Vertec slide and TJIAB and did an action tune on. That last one has a 4lb DA and 1.8lb SA pull on it. So nice.

Yep, I took a class from LTT in March 2003.......

I sent a brand new Elite II to Ernest back in 2002 for a Level Two Comp. Trigger job with the intention to use it for IDPA. While the gun was being worked on, I bought a couple of Glock 34s. By the time I got the pistol back, I had already invested a lot of time into the Glocks so I never used the Elite II for IDPA. Later that year, I was able to meet Mr. Langdon at the IDPA Nationals held at Mid-South. He took the time to chat with my 8 year old Son who had just lost his Mother to Breast Cancer months before. It was really good to see my Son's face light up. Mr. Langdon is a class act.

He did an outstanding job on the pistol. The action was smooth as glass. I had so many working pistols, I decided to keep it relatively unused.
Ironically, Mr. Langdon ended up buying that same pistol from me a couple of years ago. Some 17+ years later.
