They need to do better on their warranty to sell them.

That and they don't make them in 10mm. Think I'll stick with my Fusion Firearms longslide 10mm.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

Ad says 10mm.  Looks interesting.

They make them in 10mm, they have been on Gunbroker for the last 3 months. They also make the same model with a vented slide.

Another low capacity 1911  :D
If 10 rounds of 10mm wont do it then ......

Maybe, but I shouldn't NEED high capacity........



I figure if I need more than 9 (I have a few modified Chip McCormack mags with that capacity), I should be running, not shooting.

Have any idea what price they were running? I don't see any today.

Oops, see one on GunsAmerice, $940. Yeah, I do like that porting. But.....I may have the same problem I have with Glocks. I have small, short fingered hands and their double stack mag guns are just too thick for me to get a good grip. I would have to physically handle one before I would buy one, and I have not seen any in my LGS's. A single stack feels good in my hand.

I recall 800 for the regular long slide and 900 for the vented slide ones.

If they had a better warranty I would get one, the only reason I bought the long slide RI was the lifetime warranty.

  Also perps don't sit still like a silhoutte piece of paper waiting for someone to Eagle eye their shot. They also don't give you full front on shots with nothing at all in front of them in most cases. It seems lately you have a good chance of having more than one perp to contend with as well added to the mix. My own personal last "this don't seem right" scenerio involved two cars with four in each one. That's a possible 8 if everyone did the job with one shot. I would advocate for max capacity you can get and feel comfortable with. Plenty of double stack 1911's out there today to accomplish that.

You don't need capacity if you shoot your 10mm like THIS! :P


Yes that's one of MY targets and yes it is with my 10mm!

It does look interesting, my LGS has one of their 45's I have been thinking about...

We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America, but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.

Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.
