I wanted to alert everyone who is interested in that in 2008 I will be offering a full range of 1911 specific classes - so anyone with a 1911 who want's to get detailed specific instruction on it can do so - here it is;
1911 operator - 2 days - $400 - 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
1911 armorer - 3 days - $1100 - This class takes things to the next level beyond the operators class in terms of troubleshooting , identifying, and fixing problems that may develop with your 1911. Fit and function and replacement/tuning of various parts are discussed such as safeties, triggers, hammers and sears , mag catches, check and correct barrel fit, complete reliablility work, extractors, ejectors, sights, etc. . An individual will be able to completely maintain and do limited custom work on a 1911 pistol after this class. In addition zeroing and test fire procedures are discussed. No 1911 specific range fire beyond zeroing and test fire is planned into the schedule but an extra day can be added to do so if the class desires. Max class size is 12 - in addition a specific tool and part list (student supplied) is part of this course
1911 gunsmithing; - 6 days- $2375 - 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. Students of this course have had very positive comments thusfar. Max class size is 7 and a specific tool and part list (student supplied) is part of this course.
So there it is - please contact me via my website for additional information about attending or hosting any one of these classes. In addition this info will be posted on my website soon
