SIG SAUER 1911 Armorer Certification (8 Hours)

Overview

This is a hands-on program that teaches and guides each participant through all armorer operations step by step with the instructor.

The course is well suited for law enforcement armorers to design their agency's own maintenance and inspection program. Maintaining current practices and procedures for factory authorized service is essential for all firearms. A three (3) year factory certification is issued upon successful course completion.
