    Larry Vickers 1911 Pistolsmith Class in NE Ohio May 2008

    Larry will be back to NE Ohio May 5-10, 2008 for another 1911 pistolsmith class. The first class in November was a great success. I have posted a couple photos of my build from that class and a link to a video of my pistol feeding rounds very slowly and smoothly.

    Larry knows so much about the 1911, because he was in a position to see millions of rounds shot through 1911 pistol every year in his former career.

    The class tuition is $2375 plus you will need to purchase the slide & frame set, internal parts and tools. You should also have a very good to excellent working knowledge of the 1911 pistol.

    Email me for more information. Class size is limited to seven.

    Saw this gun in person. FANTASTIC to say the least. Either Lynn is a great 1911 pistolsmith or LAV is the worlds best teach (or both).

    You used the same Caspian frame that Night Hawk uses/used on their Vicker's model, right?

    Lynn:
    That gun is very nice. It does look like the NH pistol but I'm sure you're more proud of it since it's a labor of love done by yourself.

    What is the address of the course? I want to map quest and see how far from me it is. That'll make up my mind on taking the class or not.

    KCS,

    Here is the address. It is about ten minutes south of Canton, OH. It is the home of Greenport Tactical Association.

    5169 Greenport Ave. SE
    Canton, OH. 44707-1717


    adh,

    Yes, it is the same frame as the NH Vickers model, except mine does not have the integral plunger tube. Larry wanted us to install the plunger tube on our pistols.
