1911 pistol with a 6 inch barrel in 45 ACP?

[Darryll]

I'd like to purchase a 1911 pistol in .45 ACP with a 6-inch barrel, but I don't want to have it custom made if I can avoid it.

Springfield used to have a stainless-steel model, but I haven't seen one in a long time. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Darryll

Iver Johnson made one as recently as 5 or so years ago.

There are about 600 listed on gunbroker.

Search for “long slide” or “longslide”. Specify caliber.

Also a lot of pistol listings on 1911 Addicts. There are posting rules in place there for the classifieds.

It’s 5.75 inches, close enough and new for this year.

I've handled the Kimber 6" reciently in a local shop. It was pretty nice but I ended up passing. I just didn't see where it was going to gain me anything over the fleet of 5" 1911's I cueently own.

I have two Iver Johnson’s and a Kimber
Owned a Springfield did not feel it was 2x the $$
Best value to me the Kimber by just a tad.
I shoot the Iver Johnson duel tone 45 the most.

If you already have a decent 5" 1911, consider adding a 6" barrel, and having the best of both.
Kart makes 6" 1911 barrels in all 1911 calibers with proper dimensions for a 5" slide/bushing.
(This is also the barrel you would use on a 5" slide when threading the exposed portion for a suppressor).
After I had a properly fit Kart barrel, I found it very difficult to go back to most others.

(I don't work for Kart)
