About Drake’s Gun Works

 

            My name is Drake Oldham.  I have been interested in firearms for most of my life.  I have been shooting 1911 style pistols and precision rifles for as long as I can remember.  I consider myself fortunate to have a supportive family and an employer that has allowed me to pursue my interests.

            I have been working for a midsize police department since 1997.  My assignments have included Patrol, Special Response Team Sniper, and the Training Unit where I am currently.  I have received training in the repair and maintenance of S&W pistols, Glock pistols, and 1911 style pistols.  I have received additional training in tactics, firearms, ASP baton, Taser, etc.

            The concept of Drake’s Gun Works started in 2006.  I have always been a fan of the Browning Hi-Power and the 1911.  Why not build my own?  I spoke to professional gunsmiths, a few military armorers, and attended a 1911 armorers course.  A nice TRP Operator got traded for a mil-spec and some parts.  The first pistol turned out very nice.  I built several more with the assistance and support of my coworkers.  This helped me to determine which brands of parts I preferred to work with.  The feedback has been great. 

            My goal is to provide a quality pistol at a price that a working cop can afford.  I will do whatever I can to repair Duty and Carry pistols immediately.  I want my customers to be happy with the service that they receive.  I will stand behind the work that I do.  I will tune up an existing pistol, or help you choose the parts for custom build.   Give me a call before you purchase another pistol.  Let’s build a Model 1911 the way you want it.
