1911 operator - 2 days - $375 - 1 day of range drills using a 1911 pistol; drills are specifically designed and tailored to highlight key features of using a 1911 pistol. The 2nd day begins with detail disassembly and assembly along with an operator level troubleshooting class to allow the end user to recognize problems that may develop - I generally do some on the spot gunsmithing on students guns that is included - the day wraps up with some range fire to highlight test fire procedures. This class has been very positively received - max class size is 16

I'm in!
I'm in!
Did you get a confirmation from Mike?
I believe there is an article about this class in the June 2008 issue of SWAT magazine ;) (just don't mention a certain website or it will result in the thread getting locked :( ).

Edited to say that I found the June issue at B&N. Folks can read the article as a preview to the June class at deliverance range. Thanks Ed. :)
Very good article too, if I might add.
Thanks, guys. Unfortunately the thread in the handgun section of this board got shut because it was mentioning Glocktalk in a negative light.
At the end of the article I acknowledged the help of boardmembers Bob Moran and Matt Edwards, and Rich Touch (who I think is a board member).
Bottom line, if you are into 1911s this is a must attend class. Training with Larry is quite an experience.

I had a couple of guys drop out to "dog ate my homework excuses" which translates to "my wife says I can't go"
so if anyone wants a slot to this class shoot me an email

Great article Ed. I'll echo what Bob stated though.
I kinda wish Mike would stop waveing the "so if anyone wants a slot" comment around. This one may be too close for me to pass up...for the second time.

Don't pass this chance up.
I must be on some bad drugs, I posted in the wrong thread.

Heck,
I can always tell the wife I'm going to the class again 'cause I have ANOTHER 1911 that needs a massage...;)
Too early in the morning caused me to post in the wrong thread. Remember to drink coffee before posting.
Anyone on the fence needs to do a package check and call Mike :D

Sorry to bump a two month old thread…!
Anyone have a copy of this? I missed it on the newsstand and am interested in finding out more about the class. Maybe someone can scan it & either post it or email (PM for address) it to me? Thanks!
