Welcome to the 1911 Online Classroom where we do the Impossible! All of the "EXPERTS" said that we could not teach  above average people over the Internet to build a 1911 Semi-Automatic Pistol that would be better than anything they could purchase from a factory in todays marketplace.

Dave Sample took the dare and created a course of instruction unlike anything that has ever been done before in the history of Distance Education.

Consisting of  Lessons and Steps given in an "Online Classroom" for twelve weeks,  the 1911 Online Class has been taught successfully for five years.

All of the finished PATRIOTS have proven to be nicely built and 100% reliable. Parts from ten suppliers are fitted together so that each one is happy with the other and at the end of the course, they have no choice.

They perform as a highly accurate Custom 1911 Pistol valued at $3,500 should. Come on in and visit our slide show and watch all of the lessons as they are being done from start to finish and check out the details of how we "Do the Impossible".

The Mission? To build a gun and have some fun!
