.45 SUPER LONGSLIDE BY RJ RENNER
Description: .45 SUPER LONGSLIDE - FIRES BOTH .45 SUPER & .45 ACP WITHOUT MODIFICATION Having been the Testing and Service Manager at AMT (Arcadia Machine & Tool) during their heyday, I had the unique opportunity to test fire over a thousand of their .45 Hardballer Longslide pistols. More importantly, through servicing them, I learned how to make a 7-inch longslide work really well. Through the ensuing years I have patiently waited for the 1911 makers to resurrect the 7-inch longslide, but to no avail. Yes, there are 6-inchers, and we now offer it, but there's just something really special about a full 7-inch longslide. Aside from the longer sight radius, magnum-class performance, and wonderful balance, our .45 Super Longslide just looks awesome! But, it's not just another pretty face. The .45 Super Longslide is not your typical overbuilt cream puff 1911 clone. Designed to handle the awesome .45 Super® cartridge, the .45 Super Longslide is a powerful, accurate, rugged and reliable pistol that shoots exactly where you point it with enough power to meet your challenges of it. While of “retro” design, the .45 Super Longslide is a serious handgun for the serious hunter, explorer, and outdoorsman. Our .45 Super Longslide features casecoloring of the slide and frame while the controls, screws and pins are nitre-blued to a beautiful cobalt blue color. We also offer custom finishes that can create a very special Texas Barbecue Pistol. 45 SUPER®? Never heard of it. Despite the fact that it has been on the scene since 1988, the .45 Super® seems to be one of the best-kept secrets in 1911 land. One would think that a cartridge that delivers such significant performance over the standard .45 ACP would be legend by now. But, it seems not so. The .45 Super® is the brainchild of Dean Grennell, former gun writer and managing editor of Gun World magazine, and was co-developed by Tom Fergerson and Ace Hindman. Today, Garey “Ace” Hindman is probably the foremost authority on the .45 Super® and he holds the trademark to the name .45 Super. He's also been of great assistance in the development of our .45 Super Longslide. The .45 Super® cartridge is dimensionally identical to the original .45 ACP round. However, that’s were the similarity stops. The Super case has special heat treating and a thicker head than the standard ACP and is loaded to higher pressures making it significantly more powerful than the hardball .45 ACP. This requires a substantially modified 1911 to effectively deal with the resulting stresses. (Simply using a stronger recoil spring doesn't make it a SUPER regardless of what internet gunsmiths may claim.) How powerful is it? When fired from our .45 Super Longslide the .45 Super® has more remaining energy at 200 yards than the .45 ACP has at the muzzle. And speaking of the ACP, if one chooses to shoot .45 ACP from our .45 Super Longslide, (yes, it shoots .45 ACP without modification) you can expect the same performance as when shooting .45 ACP+P from a standard 5-inch barrel. Commercial ammunition is available from Underwood Ammo and Buffalo Bore, and Starline makes the brass - and you use standard .45 ACP loading dies to roll your own. What could be easier? Prices start at $2,500 for the 6-inch model and $3000 for the full 7-inch model. While I like old-school Retro designs, almost anything is possible. Custom features will be discussed during the Design phase of ordering. Please visit my site which is listed below and on the photos to learn more about the .45 Super Longslide.
