Jeff Cooper Anniversary ‘1911’ 250 Pistol

In celebration of what would have been Jeff Cooper’s 104th birthday, Gunsite is offering this celebratory 250 class the week of May 6 -10, 2024. If available, Jeff Cooper’s daughter – Lindy Cooper Wisdom will stop in and visit with the attendees to share memories of her father and Gunsite history.

This special 250 will be a 1911 pistol only class using real leather belts, holsters, and magazine pouches.  No Kydex, nylon, red-dots, compensators, or race guns!  Break out that Milt Sparks, Bruce Nelson and other vintage leather and let it see the light of day again!

Also break out that vintage Gunsite clothing and hats if you’ve got them.

  • Produce a Gunsite or API certificate signed by Jeff, you will receive a 10% discount off the class.
  • Produce a Gunsite or API certificate signed by Jeff with an ‘E-Ticket’ rating and receive 15% off the class (if you must ask…..move along, please!).  
I finished up the brand new senior citizen 350 class on handguns known as SC350. This is the first class offered for senior citizen pistol training at the intermediate level. The class was well laid out and used the building block approach to refresh...

However, with each right comes an equal responsibility to discharge that right effectively, legally, safely and within the bounds of morality. Rights demand responsibility. Owning a piano does not make one a pianist any more than owning a handgun makes one a good shooter. Only an effective, safe and authoritative program of study can guarantee that in a moment of danger YOU will act to protect yourself, your loved ones or the ones you are sworn to with self defense firearms training skills.
