i want to build a longslide 1911 on an officer frame.
aside from the obvious dustcover issue, would it work? it is a curiosity i want to persue and i am wondering if it is a concept i should try. any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks jake |
| IDK if it will work but Sarco is having a black friday sale on Para-Ordinance slides.hereThere are some long slides in there. |

Why take one of the most unreliable actions to build a gun upon? Why not something modern, that is properly engineered? Stick with a Glock 34/35. You'll be assured that: 1) It will go bang. 2) It will cycle. 3) It will not turn into a jam-o-matic 4) you won't relegate it to a paperweight in your gun safe because it's mostly unshootable. |

Oddly enough the full length 1911 platform in gi spec is quite reliable. The 6 and 7 inch units do quite well also. The main exception is the AMT units. They had some squirrely qc. |

How about buying a long slide and cutting the grip down to officer size?
No dust cover issue and you have a gun that was made correctly. well, on second thought you'll likely have just as many issues with modifying the main spring housing. 1911's don't take well to drastic modifications such as what you're thinking of without a huge pile of money thrown at them. |

So much 13. Why build an M4gery? Why have an action done on a single action revolver? Why bother with black powder rifles? The man likes 1911's... a lot of us do. My Springfield has 10K rounds through it and is as reliable as my Glocks, more accurate too. I love the way it feels, the way it shoots, the fantastic single action trigger and as much as anything, I love the history inherent in the 1911. If you don't like them, go play in the Glock forum (or in traffic, your choice) and don't go pissing on someone's dreams.

So much 13 failure I can't even......I just......I.........I can't. When your precious plastic gun is still among the most popular designs after 100 years of service let us know. The 1911 has fought wars and survived the test of time. Glock is on what....it's 4th generation in around 20 years? Don't get me wrong...glock makes a great pistol...I love them...but let's not commit fallacy by suggesting the 1911 is a flawed design. History proves that to be idiocy. |

IWB, it can be done, until you have to sit down. sitting jams the slide and front sight into my backside.
OWB, it can be done, but the longer slide length typically makes the snout visible under the outer garment Now as far as a shooter, its lights out accurate and recoil is very soft |

Do eeeeeet!!! Bonus points if you make it your CCW piece. i was intending to, hence the officer frame. i am probably going to have it chromed just for shits and giggles. Isn't the Officer frame too short for a longslide? Thought you could only put a longslide on a Government Model or Commander frame. I thought I read that when I was looking at doing a longslide conversion to a Government Model. If that's the case OP might want to consider chopping the grip frame on a Government Model frame down to Officer size (or smaller) and then putting a longslide on it. It would be easier to buy a frame kit, get the grip cut down and then get the desired length slide. I said "or smaller" because I'm looking into getting a custom frame done with a grip frame that's cut down to five round size from the Officer model's six rounds. Add a three inch barrel and slide and I'd have a compact backup gun with all the features of a 1911 instead of some of the "backup guns" on the market that don't have safeties or other features. |

In my mind I'm thinking something Colt Mustang sized. |
