Springfield 1911 Longslide

[brentn]

What do you guys think of it?


I think it would be really fun to shoot, and obviously this isn't a carry weapon. Is the longslide with the longer barrel really that much more accurate? would it be easier to shoot becuase of the excess weight?

have you guys heard of any problems?

The only other companies that make/made longslides are STI and AMT. Heard that the AMT hardballers were utter garbage, 1/100 sold worked flawlessly it seemed.

Discuss?

I think its very long Should be a great range only gun, lots of sight radius should be accurate.

It looks like a pretty range toy !!!! Not that I wouldn't own one. I already have 2 Springers and love them both. Good shooten'!

I shot one once...one of their v-10's. It was a very mild shooter, but it consistently spit debris in my face. I have heard that the v-16 can readily be converted to 45 super -- if you're so inclined.

45acp is good enough for me, i'm sure with the longslide all you need to change are the springs.

I looked up the V16, 8 ports on each side of the barrel! wow, must have been fun to shoot.

SA built me a hi-cap longslide consisting of a PO P-13 topped with a Caspian 6" slide. The longer sight radius and heavier nose make it a pleasure to shoot accurately. In the past I have carried it in the inside pocket of a winter coat. It helps being a stocky 6'1".
