Vickers 1911 operator class June 28-29 Atlanta

[mike benedict]

Email me to be placed on the class roster and for payment info

Mike

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

Did you get a confirmation from Mike?

[Ed L.]

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. :)

[Aubrey]

Very good article too, if I might add.

[Ed L.]

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.

[mike benedict]

Greg is in the class pending funds:)

[Sam]

I saw Mike's picture in the article, he's a scary looking dude.

Very nice article Ed, well described the events in the class.

[R Moran]

Ed,
Very good article, don't know how I helped but glad I could.

Mike,
Did you ever recieve my deposit?

Bob

[mike benedict]

Mike

[R Moran]

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

Mike

[Matt Edwards]

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.

[Matt Edwards]

Heck,

I can always tell the wife I'm going to the class again 'cause I have ANOTHER 1911 that needs a massage...;)

[Sam]

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

…article about this class in the June 2008 issue of SWAT magazine…

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!

[Matt Edwards]

Contact Ed L. He may be able to help.
