Langdon Tactical Space Magic Trigger on Beretta 92. It’s RIDICULOUS | Active Self Protection Extra

[@warriorcaste4304]

DA/SA guns are making a comeback and I'm lovin it!

[@nrbrown5985]

It’s a dream of mine to train with Ernest! I’ve got a Wilson Combat Beretta 92g (which Langdon helped teach Wilson how to do the trigger jobs). My EDC is a PX4 Compact G model. Ernest is bringing a LOT to the table for the Beretta DA/SA system.

[@ChukesOutdoorAdventures]

Never been a fan of the 92 but this has me thinking I might change my mind! Great video!

[@billassande7628]

The want is real. I just purchased a PX4 Compact for a smoking deal and have started making the upgrades Ernest and Spencer discuss here. I'll be reaching out to Spencer for a holster soon as well.

[@billassande7628]

@Jacob Garrison They were available a few weeks ago, but you have to order the plastic plug for the right side of the slide stop from Brownells.

[@stephenjoy5021]

Already own a beretta 92fs and an 92INOX.Both have Wilson combat grips,beretta “D” springs,oversized mag releases and stainless guide rods.Went to gun store today and they had a M9A1 and it had to go home with me!

[@Kevin_Ho70]

Great collab with 3 Giants in the 2A KZbin Gun Universe! Beretta needs to give Ernest Langdon stock options since he just brought the venerable Beretta 92 platform upto current industry standards!

[@twbelieves]

Sent my 92s to Ernest for his magic then had it cerakoted and finally had a Holosun 507c installed. I love this gun. Oh yeah changed the grips also.

[@mrweeby1961]

This just makes one of my favorite top choice pistols even better. For a SHTF, one gun for life, This or a P226 would get top billing.

[@schneir5]

The first gun I ever bought was a Beretta 92fs and I've been a fan of da/sa hammer fired pistols ever since. I still have my 92fs, but I do prefer my CZ Shadow 2, especially for competitions. That 92x performance is pretty awesome too.

[@supertruckertom]

S2 owner myself and now a LTT Elite. Going to shoot the S2 on the 11th in a match. As soon as a good holster set up for Production arrives will try the LTT. Out of the box the LTT trigger with NP3 is as good a my S2 with thousands of rounds

[@tibert503]

Picked up a 92fs with a g conversion already done. I’m in love.

[@prepperoverwatch7965]

Yes, DA/SA !!! I use a CZ75 variant.

[@philipwebb960]

I'm never using an appendix carry holster with a striker fired gun. I don't want to get decocked or even half cocked.

[@KristopherCarlyle]

I took a class from Ernest about a year ago, it was the best instruction I've ever received

[@Osprey1994]

It's crazy seeing old videos you have lost so much weight bro. Congrats I also jumped on the fitness train went from 206 to 193 going to try and shed a little more before I focus on adding on muscle.

[@waddayaknow100]

Mr, Langdon was given mt Beretta Elite I 20+ years ago when I wanted to go into USPSA Production class. I, at the time found the Glocks ugly as sin, and the Elite was what Ernest used to win big time. When I got it back, it was amazing!!! I went from Unqualified in Production to "B" class in 6 months. It is my GO TO gun when the shit hits the fan. "Dime sized groups"? UBETCHA!! i LOVE my Elite I and would NEVER let it go!

[@nomikes4392]

My story is sad. I bought an Elite 2. Langdon's new trigger was declared illegal in Production class (changed outward appearance of the gun) so, I sold it to some guy in the midwest......been chasing an Elite 2 just about ever since

[@Bittlicious]

Love it Langdon carries a clinch pick! I have it and it’s awesome.

[@jimc7022]

Such a common story. Striker folks trying DA/SA, realizing the “difficulty” of the action is all hyperbole, and falling in love with the system. I’ve never been a big polymer/striker guy. I love my CZ’s and Berettas. Every time I have a friend or relative give them a try they want one and start carrying it. I got my niece a 92 compact and she loves it. Her brother is a big striker guy and alway bad mouthed DA/SA. Until he tried her gun. Instantly loved it, said he was jealous, and has been looking for his own 92 compact for carry ever since.

[@3Pillers]

Thanks for posting. I'm a fan of the Beretta and I'm a fan of DA/SA.

[@Indianahillclimber]

I have always wanted an 92.

[@avwillis5269]

I switched to the 12 pound Langdon tactical spring from a d spring recently and can already tell the difference just from dry firing, now I'm going to have to spring for the trigger in the bag.

[@gtracer6629]

Did you add the "D" spring? Was it better than what came on the gun? Trying to decide if I should change the spring to the "D" spring. I dont need super light trigger pull, just better than stock.

[@philipwebb960]

I've heard of some shooters getting occasional light primer strikes with the 12 pound spring, even with name brand ammo, but not with the 13 pound one. With my luck, just when I most needed the pistol to fire, I'd get a light strike.

[@NHlocal]

Wow, thanks John! I am a total noob when it comes to personal defense and I am trying to learn everything I can including where and who to go to for reliable, "solid" information to help me be safer and more proficient. I am just beginning to learn who these people are, how good they are, AND the respect they have worked hard to earn in the personal defense "community". I also really don't know much about handguns and this video was loaded with a bunch of great information. You've got me wanting to take a really close look at a Beretta now. And the Keepers holster..... gotta take look at those also. Thanks again for posting up the video. Be safe. Randy

[@samuelcatoe1927]

NHlocal, if you can, I suggest you take a beginner's class from a certified trainer that will introduce you to handguns and hopefully help you in choosing one that fits you and your needs the best. Good luck.

[@NHlocal]

Thank you Samuel, that's about the best advice for every one of us "beginners" when it comes to handguns and self defense/concealed carry. I just took a CCW1 class 2 weeks ago and a CCW2 class yesterday. I'm happy with my progress although it can be frustrating watching someone able to shoot very tight groups under stress/pressure and me doing my best to hit the target...... I understand it's a skill that takes time(and a whole lot of practice) and I look forward to learning more. :~)

[@suyvik]

Very cool jacket Langdon’s wearing... love Beretta...

[@joeltowle2737]

I checked the site last night and the price is reasonable.

[@frankbutta9344]

I would like to say that a Beretta 92 can be made to shoot great by just adding a #14 hammer spring. My M9’s have all the bells and whistles, but they were fine with just a lighter spring. Same with my PX4 Compact Carry pistols. It doesn’t take much to hit a nickel size bullseye in DA with these pistols. Great Stuff, Guys!

[@ASPextra]

I think if you try a LTT you'll see a big difference though. :)

[@gutblaster187]

@@ASPextra Agreed, other than the polishing of the sear and hammer, most of the magic of the LTT trigger job is in the geometry of the their optimized performance trigger bars. Nowadays one can also order the kit with the match hammer option, which not only lightens both trigger pulls, but reduces SA pre-travel to just a couple of milimeters. LTT really gave that gun a new lease on life.

[@theprepperrevelator]

I have a Wilson Cen-Tac with the Wilson trigger job and is double action 6 pounds of awesomeness! Earnest partnered with Wilson and helped them perfect their trigger jobs on Berettas. If you want the best DA/SA trigger in a semi-auto pistol a Beretta with either a Langdon or Wilson Combat trigger job is really the only way to go. Simply fantastic! Rick

[@RaspyGA]

I’ve got to get off my butt and finally send Ernest my 92! Great video, John. Thanks.

[@ASPextra]

Do it. SO GOOD.

[@XxAlexanderProxx]

Why is beretta so greedy? Every time I think I am going to buy something else I end up with a Beretta. It’s just not fair. You are making me look like a fanboy. Then you put this Langdon guy in front of me. Great personality, passionate about what he does, and adds some salivating workmanship to the firearms. I can’t do this any more. I have to buy a Glock next.

[@ASPextra]

Haha!

[@RoccoSucato]

at 16:40 - So 14# hammer spring would be the go-to for surplus 9MM ammo?

[@ASPextra]

Should be.

[@kencohagen4967]

My buddy owned a Beretta 92. While he was going through his divorce he sold me his Beretta to hold on to u til the divorce was final. I thought he was nuts, especially as cheap as he sold it to me for, but after shooting it just once I totally understood. It shot buttery smooth, and fast! To know that they could make that gun even better, well I want one, big time! Now I just need to win the lottery!

[@AshGreen359]

What's a space magic trigger? The 20# hammer spring was for hard primers used in submachine gun ammo. It's a military gun after all.

[@LarryeWhite61]

Bought me a 96a1 in July. Added the Best of the Best parts from WolffSprings, Wilson-Combat, LTT and just loving to shoot it. Even went as far to add a "Ric's" Compensator and then an EFK 357Sig barrel to it and a Venom sitting on top. WOW is all I can say.

[@imp1295]

Great Job! Two of the best in the industry.

[@scottjernigan7286]

Love my CZ Custom Shop P01 has 8lb Da and a 3.4 lb SA. Been carrying it for years now. I use a Cajun Gun Works SP01 for USPSA and IDPA. The P01 is the smoothest double I’ve ever shot. I am looking forward to getting a LTT Beretta. I shot a buddies and really enjoyed the firearm. I hope the LTT is all as everyone says.

[@ASPextra]

It is. You will enjoy it.

[@bryant-teamrealestate4760]

For the record, I designed this trigger bar in 08, Wilson contracted Langdon to "build it" in 13...I pitched it to Wilson in 09 and was told there was no market for it. Just saying. I have the original, the provisional patent AND a convo with Earnest in my FB chat saved. So...there is that

[@joeflowers9084]

Now Langdon has his own trigger bar, somehow different than the Wilson trigger bar.

[@bryant-teamrealestate4760]

@@joeflowers9084 I saw that and I actually went through the geometrical differences. In my opinion, kind of shady, he took the trigger bar that I gave to Wilson, claimed it as his own, then change the geometry to that trigger bar slightly to Market one as his own

[@pieceofparadise9338]

I just bought a lightly used 92a1 at auction for $400 last week. I can’t wait to get my trigger in a bag kit!!

[@ASPextra]

Man that's a good deal!!

I have the LTT Space Magic on my PX4 compact and holy crap, what a difference. Now that I have a 92F and an M9A1 Compact, they are getting his Space Magic as well. He is a JEDI!!

It really is so good.

[@jamescampbell1126]

I looked at Keepers Concealment and couldn't find a holster for a Beretta. No way to search on the site for a gun model. Good thing there's plenty of holster makers.

[@georgefelix7906]

Like me , if you going to have a handgun , think twice , one of the better choices out there still is a Beretta it those matter what type , thanks again John for the video, down here in Miami you got some fans.

[@triggerhappy57]

I have a Beretta 92, and now there is a trigger job in a bag in the mail on its way.

[@ASPextra]

I think you'll be RIDICULOUSLY happy with it. I got some pulls on a gun with the trigger job in a bag, and it was phenomenal.

[@Disirregardless]

What I was told was the D spring is bomb-proof reliable, the 14lb is like 99.5% reliable, and once you go to 13 or 12 its somewhat gun specific and dependent on keeping the top end clean, as Ernest mentions in the video. Personally, I've found the 14's work really well, I don't have to worry about them, and the triggers are still really pleasant to shoot.

[@AcoraZ3RO]

How does the trigger on this compare to, say, a Wilson Combat Beretta? Edit: Uh, nevermind, you guys compare it in the video. Neat.

[@thomaspuma434]

Very enjoyable I am sold on this

Where can I get that grip from?

[@michaelhale4041]

[@jamescooper7272]

I really like the custom walnut grip that I put on my beretta 92. But this one does look really nice!

[@ChristofferEricsater]

Please compare the LTT with the new 92X

[@ASPextra]

That'd be an interesting comparison!

[@bpentium]

Any chance at the price coming down ?

[@StoicJason]

Between Wilson Combat and Langdon Tactical, the 92 has new legs for a new generation. That makes me happy.

[@ASPextra]

It really does.

I have a custom tuned beretta from WC and an curious about this one.

[@larrytew116]

I've installed "Gadgets" (Striker Control Devices) on my Glocks that provide tactile feedback if the firing pin moves during reholstering. Makes AIWB safer for sure.

[@ASPextra]

That's untrue. I just checked with Spencer and he has them in stock right this minute.

[@InLawsAttic]

Is this gun (92) easier to rack than a 84fs cheetah? (We have two cheetahs) .My husband is looking at LTT for a full size 92. His fingers are longer than anybody, long long and skinny- so far the CZ75 shadow 2 is a close fit,but his fingers still wrap around and needs longer handle.. but he said feels good in hand,, but he is thinking the 92 might fit a tiny bit better. He is 6’5 and super skinny- with a hand damaged so the racking is a problem. We are also thinking a PX4 LTT full size- have to see if it fits his hand, but I think the px4 storm is easy to rack. Advice welcome! THANKS

[@ASPextra]

Worth a try at least. A reduced-power recoil spring might help too.

Do you guys ever listen to how relatively useless most of your discussion is. For example your proclivity, (as seen on Facebook) for a buttery trigger pull is complete nonsense, and I for one don’t really care, nor is it necessary to any video seen herein. I am certain the both of you are gentlemen, and it is not necessary for anyone to converse about what either of you stated in recent Facebook posts. This video is evidence of how far from a readily teachable point can be obliterated and while some may actually engage others in inane and nonsensical dialog solely because ones feelings about a trigger pull, how a trigger may be packaged, or for that matter a tractor pull for gods sake might make you warm on the inside. If there is a point to the dialog the both of you are engaged in, please make it and move on. We know you are turned on by guns, we get it. Talking about it is nauseating. Please get to the point and avoid the weeds, I appreciate your efforts, and wish you well, but your love for a trigger is downright weird.
