Vickers Tactical: 1911 Pistolsmith

What: 1911 Pistolsmith Course by Larry Vickers.

**From Vickers Tactical website: “This picks up where the armorers course leaves off and allows the student to build a complete custom 1911 from a box of oversize gunsmith fit parts; complete details of fitting an oversize match barrel, slide to frame fit, fitting and blending thumb and grip safeties, trigger job, complete blending of all components for a custom pistol are covered. In addition metal checkering is discussed and practiced on a limited scale. Recommended parts and sources are also covered. This is the complete package and is a great start to anyone wanting to do get into building custom 1911's”.

When: Feb 15 - 20 2010.

Where: Omaha, NE

Openings: Class is limited to 6 students

Tuition: 2375.00

**Students will be responsible for tuition, as well as the purchase of the slide/frame, all parts and the appropriate tools. In addition, prior to the course, you should have read, and be familiar with both of Jerry Kuhnhausen's books on the 1911.

**I have a complete list of parts and tools for those interested in attending. I have also attended Larry’s Pistolsmithing Course and am happy to help with any questions you might have.

**I chatted with Larry about the Pistolsmith courses for 2009 and 2010. As of right now, Larry has not held any Pistolsmith Courses for 2009, and it looks very
likely that the Omaha Course for Spring 2010 will be the only "OPEN" enrollment course that he conducts for all of 2010!

Thanks,
