| I've been wanting a 6 inch longslide 1911 for many years, and just ordered myself one as a late x-mas gift. Just wondering if anyone has any experiences with these...they sure look cool if nothing else!! Thanks |

The first 1911 I ever shot was one of these, and it was awesome. Still to this day I think that this particular gun I shot was easier to hit what you wanted with than any other centerfire pistol I've ever shot. BD
ETA; This was in the real late 90's so I don't know how these guns compare to the ones made today. |

Well< i have no experience with Springfield's offering, however my 6inch is a super sweet shooting with very soft recoil. great thing to shoot. You will love how it shoots. http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab45/acpjunkie/gun2.jpg That is a beautiful pistol, and thanks for the replies. Don't suppose you have any advice for holsters that cover these longslides? |

| O.K., Now I need some real HELP! with my new longslide. I am trying to field strip it, and have the slide off the frame, after unscrewing and removing the full length guide rod out of the end. I can't figure out how to get this almost full length shroud (that the recoil spring runs through) out so I can remove the barrel?. It will not fit through the muzzle end of the gun, and when I back it all the way to the barrel link, it still does not allow me to lift it out, so I can slide the barrel out of the end of the slide....What am I doing wrong?? |

read the manual...page 35. I did, to no avail. In communicating with folks on the M1911.Org forum, it seems this may be a re-occurring issue requiring the pistol to be sent back. Others who have sent theirs back indicate the reverse plug/and or cover is too long. At this point I just hope the turn-around time is not too long & painful. Will call SA on Monday, what a bummer
