1911 Pistols for Duty Use

$400

The 1911 handgun is certainly not new in law enforcement, but it has taken a back seat to striker-fired platforms for a number of years and a number of reasons. As a result, some of the institutional knowledge for use and care has been lost. Now, thanks to Staccato and others, the 1911 is starting to make a comeback. Created by instructors with deep knowledge of the 1911 platform, NLEFIA is offering a 1911/2011 instructor development course.

This 2-day / 16-hour course is designed to provide firearms instructors with the information they need to implement a 1911/2011 training program within their agency. Topics covered include the history of the 1911, care and maintenance, thumb and grip safety manipulation, and teaching considerations. This course is not brand or platform specific. Any 1911 or 2011 style handgun is suitable.

Topics include:

  • History of the 1911 pistol in the military and in law enforcement
  • Pros & cons of the 1911 platform
  • 1911 variants
  • Policy considerations for approving and 1911 for on-duty and off-duty use
