Special Guest Ernest Langdon Talks Berettas, Part 2: Gun Guys with Ken Hackathorn and Ernest Langdon

From the earliest days of the military's adoption of the Beretta 92 as the standard issue sidearm for the US Marine Corps, Ernest Langdon has played an instrumental role in the instruction and development of the platform. Qualifying on his first M9 in 1986 for the USMC HRP Anti-Terrorism program, Ernest went on to work directly for Beretta, helping to make the innovations to the platform that make it an excellent choice for competition and tactical applications to this day.
