Long 1911

The longest longboi I’ve ever seen.  A BIG IRON:

It’s actually a real custom gun made by Reddit user Suspectgore074, not a photoshop. 🤣💀

How he made it:

The short story is three slides, the long story is that it took me two attempts to make this thing. The first slide I made got a good thrashing on the milling machine, and was mostly unrecoverable, so I started again on a new slide. I later found a demilled colt slide and chopped that for my second upcoming long slide. The way I extended it is I made custom spacers and welded them between the chopped segments, and then blended it.  It’s got a regular government spring with a really long spring cap.

Thoughts?  As much as I’m obsessed with the things the 3d printing guys are doing.. it’s cool to see someone make something like this for fun out of real steel.
