Getting the Most Out of Your Live Fire Training (#11)

[@kristinhickey2680]

It’s wonderful that somebody of your caliber takes the time and has the interest to offer all these videos to shooters who don’t have access to instruction, or clinics. And, for those of us that are lucky enough to take weekly lessons these videos give so much important information and drills to add to our base! Thank you!!

Thank you!

[@skipboyer1889]

Great info. Something they never taught us in the Corps (1973-1976) was anything tactical. Everything was from known distance, with the emphasis on qualification. My dad, Gysgt USMC (1950-1969) taught me what marksmanship was and the Corps did focus on that too but, tactical stuff, the science of shooting, all the stuff that you are teaching today was not mentioned once. Thank you for these videos. For someone that lives thousands of miles from Arizona, they are the next best thing to being in one of your classes. I appreciate it.

You’re welcome! We hope many find value in these.

Semper Fi. '82 - '90, and I agree with this. I've learned much, much more about shooting since I got out. 5th award Expert BTW.

Great advice. My son's baseball coach used to say "PERFECT practice makes perfect". Build the proper muscle memory, don't waste ammo.

[@MRsolidcolor]

dry fire. if you cant "dry" at home looking at a place on the wall. draw and point. and if you dont see them irons in position. that trigger pull will never help and will make you spend money.

[@Sourpusscandy]

Good advice! Bowling was like that for me, diminishing returns, after the 3rd game, quit while your’re ahead.

[@LangdonTactical]

Concept can be applied to life, for sure!

[@vmanshooting]

its always good to be reminded of how to train. thank you!

[@tsflyer61]

Lots of golden nuggets in this one Ernest ! Thanks for all you do !

[@matthewgrinestaff3078]

Great teacher!

[@eddiepereira9628]

U Da Man Ernest. Great advice. Your videos are amazing.

[@LangdonTactical]

Glad you are enjoying it!

[@davidhudson2527]

I don't do 300-400 round range sessions. Cost, time, energy, mental and physical fatigue are all factors. Less is more and more, is just more.

[@LangdonTactical]

Everyone learns different based on the resources they have available to them.

[@jonnsmusich]

You're correct!

[@VailAvenue]

Love it!

[@EverydayMarksman]

Great lesson! I hear echos of Lanny Bassham here.

[@Quality_Guru]

I am always blown away with the level of instruction and advice that you provide on this channel. The one comment that I will add is that I have found the G-Sight laser cartridge to be extremely effective in dry fire. I would love to see how you recommend how best you use this tool.

[@LangdonTactical]

We haven’t tried that one.

[@Whitpusmc]

Great stuff!! I’m onboard with the dry fire practice, much easier to get 20 minutes of dry fire for me a day than get to the range. I LOVE range trips but I don’t live there. I will be looking for some good dry fire practice drills!

[@cornellhorne43]

Great video. Great information. I love this line of videos you are putting together

[@LangdonTactical]

Glad you love it! We hope many find value in it!

[@620ronin]

Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge!

[@LangdonTactical]

You're welcome!

[@gc5Hayward]

Awesome! Very well said!

[@LangdonTactical]

Thank you kindly!

I’m starting to notice that the gun itself is playing a large part in the return I get per rounds spent or time dry firing. I love my Glocks but I have to work so freaking hard to stay in the black at speed. Whereas I can pick up a PDP or a 1911/2011 and not need anywhere near as much time behind the gun to score better at drills. This is not a new phenomenon, I’ve been shooting Glock’s since 1985! Not just picking on Glock’s, the HK line of pistols requires me to try a lot harder to get similar results I could get with another platform. Even with the Beretta line, switch to a vertec grip and instantly I’m doing better for less effort.

[@onpsxmember]

Just for the H&K's you might get better results with a lighter recoil spring if we're talking about follow up shots. They should usually come with quite a stiff spring cause they're set up for stronger nato specs. That strong spring might also induce some dip from the slide returning while a lighter one will have it'll stay a bit longer in the back. There is a big buffet so choose what works well for you not that makes you work extra hard. A good grip wins competitions.

[@cjbecker1683]

Ernest when will we ever see the XDE trigger kits back in stock 🤔

[@LangdonTactical]

Please direct all product questions to [e-mail]

[@stansenter2660]

That's why I've never been impressed with mag dumps, I've always seen it as foolish and wasteful.

[@SnapD24]

I feel like I'm being called out in this video and I don't like it.

[@LangdonTactical]

haha! Self-evaluation and awareness is never a bad thing.
