I'm curious, 6' barreled 1911's seem to be a good idea for some uses, but I've never had the opportunity to use one, or even hold one. Do any of you own a longslide? If so, how do they work, mostly I'm curious about reliability. I know that the extra inch was not part of John Browning's design, so I'm curious if it works as good as the original.
Also for those of you who have 1911s in mutant calibers like 40 super or 460 Rowland. How do they work, reliability wise. I would imagine that if they were put together correctly they should work just fine, but then again I don't have a clue about their actual use.
I was just thinking about this because I was browsing the STI webpage the other day and they have a longslide in .40 Super, and I got to thinking that that would be a pretty neat combination, an almost rifle-esq 1911. Not that I'm going to buying any $1200 handguns anytime soon.
Thanks
