Larry Vickers 1911 Operators Class - Aug 23-24, 2014 - Pittsburgh, PA

This class features 1911 specific range drills that highlight the differences of shooting a 1911 vs other handguns. Specific drills and courses of fire are used to allow the shooter to understand what shooting a 1911 is all about. The real unique part of this course that makes it stand out is the day two classroom portion. In this section we teach detailed disassembly, troubleshooting, recommended and not recommended modifications, and a detailed inspection of each students 1911. If a problem is detected and can be fixed - it will be fixed it on the spot by Larry himself. This will give students the knowledge and skills needed to identify and diagnose problems. Time permitting a return to the range on day two to reinforce what was taught wraps up this an intensive 1911 learning experience. This class is a must for anyone who wants to run a 1911 properly.

This is a must for any 1911 guy. I took this about 5 years back and it really opened my eyes.

I will be there and am bringing a friend and several 1911's, including one problem child I hope to get sorted out

Outstanding, welcome aboard.

The class was great and I like Larry's style. We agree in the idea of quality rather than quantities with shooting. Better instruction with a lower round count is preferable to just hosing rounds down range. I hope to take another class from him or another I as group trainer next year!
