About Drake

     Welcome to Drake's Gun Works.  My name is Drake Oldham, and I have been interested in firearms, 1911-style pistols, and precision rifles for most of my life.  I began my career as a Police Officer working for a mid-size department in 1997.  I left the PD in 2008 so that I could instruct firearms and tactics full time, and I remain a Reserve Officer in a neighboring jurisdiction.

     My training covers the repair and maintenance of S&W pistols (3rd Gen and M&P), Glock pistols, 1911-style pistols (Ned Christiansen & Colt), Sig P Series pistols, Remington Rifles & Shotguns, and the AR15/M16 platforms (Ned Christiansen, Greg Sullivan, & Colt).  I am fortunate to have received personalized 1911 gunsmith training from Larry Vickers and Bruce Gray.  I have combined their lessons into my own style of pistol smithing. You will see attention to detail, fit, and finish, with a focus on making the most reliable and accurate pistol possible. I make carry and duty weapons, so nothing short of 100% reliable is acceptable.
            
     My goal is to provide a quality pistol while keeping my customers 100% satisfied with the service they receive.  I will tune up an existing pistol or help you choose the parts for a full build.
