I have been planning a project to build a custom 1911 from the ground up. It will be my ultimate companion when it is complete 
. I want it to be reliable, highly accurate, and able to handle the hottest defensive loads on the market. While picking my favorite parts, I found out about a new barrel developed by Network Custom Guns, in Marietta, OH ncggasgun.com . I say "new", but the inventor spent seven years perfecting his product. The barrel systems are called "Gas Guns". They are designed using a linkless gas retarded blow-back system. The barrel stays stationary and is fixed solidly in place by a lower gas unit (replaces the guide rod), slide stop pin, and a special bushing that also acts as an additional recoil buffer. You can check it out at the link, but here are just a few of the features:
"*High velocity and pressure rounds are cycled on a 17 1/2 pound recoil spring due to the efficiency of the gas system.
*The Gas Gun ejects and reloads faster than any 1911 on the market today.
*Recoil is dramatically reduced.
*The Super GB feed ramp and chamber are designed for maximum reliability and +P velocities can be achieved with standard brass.
*There is NO locking lugs or mechanical lock up. This means no wear...."
There's a few of the features that caught my attention. I think I'm a good judge of character. The designer and I talked at length on the phone last week. He seems like a sincere pistol smith and not one to make claims that can't be backed up by his barrel. He quite confidently states that this barrel is far more accurate than any other handgun barrel on the market.
I want to check out a couple of his guns. We set up an appointment to do some shooting at an indoor range half way between our homes. I want to do an objective evaluation. Unfortuneately, a ransom rest is not available where we will be shooting. If you are interested in learning more about this, I am happy to ask him your questions and to test any sample guns he brings to the range. Whether or not things go well, I plan to post the results and responses.
Do you have any questions or comments?
