Vickers Tactical 1911 Operators Class - Sept 11-12, 2010 - Fuquay-Varina, NC‎

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.

You must shoot a 1911 variant handgun.

Went to this class last year in South Hill. The second morning (tearing pistol down and getting an understanding of how the pieces have to fit/work for the gun to run) was worth the price of admission. Hm-m-m, come to think of it, the first day was worth the price!

The Man knows the 1911!

Have a conflict with a trade show that weekend. Will work that out.

Consider me in!

4

This is a great class. For anybody with a 1911 this is a must-take.

5

I had the funny suspicion this was going to be a popular class. :smiley:

6

I’ll be attending this year, couldn’t make last year’s South Hill class. Hopefully LAV brings the other 1911 classes back towards South Hill :smiley:

2 questions regarding this class:

1- Is there still availability for this class?

2- Is this a class that would be appropriate for a person’s first class, provided that their pistol is a 1911.

Thanks in advance.

Hello friendlyfireisnt, I still have a few open seats available. This can also be your first training class.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I am always glad to help.

Thanks,

Paul,

Thanks, I was actually planning on getting info for a family member, who just got a 1911, and was planning on getting training, but I just found out that he is out of the country during that time period.

Is this a class that will be happening again in the future?

10

I’m there. :smiley:

11

are there two seats left? thanks in advance

12

Hello controlledpairs2, I have seats available for this class. You can sign up anytime using the Grey Group Training link. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks and welcome aboard.

Paul

I strongly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about the 1911 or who is seriously considering dropping money into a 1911.

14

As Dinger stated, this can be your first formal training class, it’s one of the most informative I’ve taken and I’ve been shooting 1911’s since 1988.

How often are you able to train with one of the master 1911 smiths who’s work resume reads like LAV’s?

15

im sold. thanks and see you in early sept.

va_dinger

i just ordered a third seat, but it said backordered underneath the class description. does it always say that or was the class full? thanks.

17

Hello controlledpairs2, no this class is not full. The “Backordered” is just a glitch in our system that pops up from time to time. You are good to go.

Welcome aboard to the class.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. I am always glad to help.

Thanks,

Paul

Any of you make the drive to this facility from the DC area? What am I looking at in traveling time? Same as the drive to Bragg?
