Front Sight Armorer’s Course — Glock Pistol (2015)
The one day Armorer’s Course covers in detail all the information to keep your Glock handgun in top-flight condition. Feel free to bring working Glock handguns, non-working guns, problem guns, and any parts you would like to install. DO NOT bring parts that will require machining or major fitting to install. At the conclusion of this Glock course, you will be proficient at disassembly, reassembly, cleaning, lubrication, identification of worn or damaged parts, and parts replacement. You will be trained in diagnosing and fixing recurring malfunctions. We will discuss after-market parts and modifications in the forum, with an emphasis on what products work and what products won’t.
Prerequisite Class(s): You will need your own weapon to work on. We do not rent weapons for the Armorer’s courses. Additionally, you will need protective gear, and tools (see below).
ALL students must show photo ID at Sign-In, regardless of age!
