Excellent write up, thanks for posting your experiance. It is my dream to attend one of those classes

....and I'll let you guys in on a little secret; the TacTV website is about to go live ( within a few days- I promise!!) and the 10,000 th annual subscriber will get a custom 1911 built by me - a $10,000 dollar value!!

Holy. ****ing. Hell!!!

Dude, you the got the "problem gun," but quite honestly probably learned the most in the class as you had to "fix" more issues than anyone (well besides Stony).

He knows a thing, or ten, about pistolsmithing the 1911. In fact, I've personally seen custom guns he's built go for above $5,000. Sold to people who know 1911's.

If he committed to making 1911's again, he'd have a backlog like the top guys, no doubt in my mind.

He is also one of a select few on the 1911 pistol smith master guild list... Kinda like Garthwaite who is also a great old school 1911 smith and one of the more reasonably priced ones out there.

Nice write up Grant! Looks like you did a great job on your build.

This is a class that is definitely on my list of LAV classes.
