Performance Pistol Process

The Performance Pistol Process is a 2-day pistol course designed to give the shooter a more complete understanding of what is

necessary for performance shooting with the 1911/2011 model pistol.

I define Performance shooting as: Applying the correct ratio of speed and accuracy to dynamic shooting situations with a goal of

scoring maximum points in minimum time. For an example of performance shooting, I would say get on you tube and take a look at a

world champion shooter competing in a USPSA field course or 3 gun course stage. As I see it there are only 4 things going on there

allowing that shooter to win.

I call these the 4 Components of Performance Shooting:


- Processing
- Control
- Mechanics
- Movement

In the Performance Pistol Process we will explore all 4 components in detail and you as the shooter will walk away with new

understanding of what it takes to be a performance pistol shooter. This 2 day course will provide you with enough repetition to

completely grasp the concepts and develop new skills that will change your pistol shooting.

I've taken a John Jardine 1911 maintenance class and been lucky enough to have taken a few classes that he was also taking. Super nice guy who knows a lot about 1911s. It's well worth taking.
