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.
