About Ernest Langdon
Ernest Langdon is a champion pistol shooter, instructor and product developer best known for his work with Beretta handguns. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1985 to 1997, competing with the issued Beretta M9 while in uniform and serving as chief instructor at the 2nd Marine Division Scout Sniper School. After leaving the Corps he joined Team Beretta, winning two World Speed Shooting titles and several national championships with an upgraded Beretta 92.

In 2014 Langdon reincorporated Langdon Tactical Technology (LTT) in Arizona, launching pistol training, custom work and product development from Mesa, where a second facility opened in 2023. Working with Beretta, LTT helped create the PX4 Compact Carry, the 92 Elite LTT pistol and the LTT 1301 shotgun, and in 2020 Langdon patented a low-mount red dot optic cut for the Beretta 92. LTT also does custom work on Heckler and Koch, Glock and Springfield Armory pistols, and the company marked its tenth anniversary in 2024.
