Student Testimonial:
I am a newbee to owning a 1911. Especially, cleaning them. But, this class was
outstanding. They covered all three cleaning methods, materials and tools required
as well as techniques on verifying that the thing fires when you're done. There was
plenty of One-on-One instruction. It was well worth the money.
If you own a 1911 and you've never attended a class on this subject, you need to take
this class. If you think you know how to clean a 1911, you need to take this class.
Bottom line, if you own a 1911 you need to take this class.
I promise you will learn something new.
