Stopped at one of the local gunstores after work today, to do a little 'Day after Thanksgiving' shopping, and noticed a strange gun.
It was listed as a Springfield Armory 'Omega-Match' chambered in 10mm, with a 6-inch slide.
I was intriqued, because I think long-slide 1911's just look Mean, and, I as yet have no 10mm in my collection. But...I thought 10mm choices were limited to Glock, EAA and Dan Wesson. A quick check to their website shows that SA is not currently making a 10mm 'Omega-Match'
Curriosity got the better of me, so I did some handling of the gun. I really liked the balance of the gun. It wasn't until I handled it that I noticed the barrel was ported also..stranger and stranger. The right side of the slide did say Springfield Armory, while the left side had the intitials KPS and 'Omega-Match' on it.
I put it back without buying, because I hate going into things blind, and this gun had me confused.
So...has anyone every seen SA 10mm Longslide with a ported barrel before, or was this some one-off custom monster that got out of control?
And second...does $525 sound like a competative price for it?
Thanks folks!
