DocMedic Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 http://www.langdontac.com/Experience.html 2000 USPSA Production Class National Champion, Limited Nationals, First person to ever win Production Nationals with a traditional double action gun. I happen to run into this in another forum, of Trainers that have also have shot competitively and I'm Sorry I've never heard of this person before seems like a stand up guy from his portfolio. I just wonder if its true about the "traditional double action gun" part? Besides Glocks, I thought that’s all Production was back then were double action guns.

Vlad Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Well .. seeing how it was the first Production nationals, and he was the first Production champion, I guess he can say he was the first to win it with a double action gun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Practical_Shooting_Association#National_Championship_Matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMedic Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Oh! lol I thought Production was created before then, so he's 100% legit on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Well .. seeing how it was the first Production nationals, and he was the first Production champion, I guess he can say he was the first to win it with a double action gun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Practical_Shooting_Association#National_Championship_Matches Actually Production was a category within Limited. Langdon finished in 56th place in Limited, but there's breakout results for L10, Production and Revolver, and he is indeed first among the competitors in Production Class.... 2001 appears to be the first year that they entered Production Division results as a standalone division -- meaning competitors in Production were not entered in Limited, even though the match was still called the Limited Nationals..... 2002 was when the Factory Gun Nats were held for the first time.....

Vlad Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Nik for USPSA historian, all in favor? Point is he was the first, so he can claim he was first Production champion to wear pants. Sure, its a bit like Armstrong claiming to be the first to land on the moon in a spaceship, but hey .. still true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFO Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 As far as the "traditional double action" description, perhaps he's just making the distinction between TDA (or DA/SA) and DAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
