Glock Armorer's Course - Opinion on Instructors

I took it from Jim Greene.
He was really good.

 

I had Alan Ramsey....

And he was fantastic.

Jerry

 

i took mine thru Mark Doneburgh. he was also phemoninal.

 

I've had Ramsey the 1st time & Goldsmith??? the 2nd time. Both were good. Always looking forward to going back to Smyrna.

 

I had Jim Greene and he was phenomenal.

 

I was a novice.
(Still am, I'm not and have no desire to be a gunsmith. I took the class because I thought it would be interesting.)

 

I had Jim Greene and a guy that is no longer with Glock. I have seen Jim Greene teach another class where I wasn't a student but was providing the meal.

If Jim lets you out for a break at 0957 and tells you that it is a 10 minute break, he will start back teaching at 1007 exactly.

 

I've been interested in this also but didn't know what experience level is required. What is considered a novice? Should you be able to completely disassemble a Glock and put it back together? I just know how to maintain my gun (field strip, clean, oil).

And do you need to bring your own Glock?

 

No...as a matter of fact they tell you not to bring your own weapon. They will have pistols for you. When I took it. we worked on gen 3 glock 22s. Also i was a complete novice and the instructor will show you step by step on what to do.

 

You should take t from Glock, it cost $150.00 and it is one day When you do this you can purchase parts etc for your weapon from them.

 

As a civilian, you must be a member of GSSF to take the Armorers course at GLOCK.

I'm planning on taking this course within the next few months.

Seems like everyone here has had a favorable experience during this course.

Do they give the students any reference material/special tools/etc to take home?

 

Yes to all...Armorers manual & Armorers tool.

 

Good deal! Thanks!

 

This would be a great course to take, I almost went, but then left the department before I had the opportunity to go
