2011/1911 Handgun Class

Class Overview

This course will introduce you to all facets of the wonderful 1911 pistol and allow you to use your 1911 to its fullest capacity. We encourage you to bring out all your ‘best’ 1911s and see how they perform! We will teach you how to properly disassemble your pistol to clean and maintain it. Without practice and proper technique, the 1911 can be a challenging pistol to manipulate effectively and it is not very forgiving of mistakes – don’t let that stop you from mastering what ITTS lead instructor Scott Reitz says the be the best fighting pistol ever made!
