I'm sure lots of folks remember the AMT 1911 Hardballer Long Slide with the 7" slide. That went away when AMT went belly up after their founder died. Apparently there are one or more 6" slide .45's out there, I'm not an aficionado so don't know, but I talked to a fellow yesterday who used to work for AMT (he currently produces OEM grips for some Colts) and he has developed a prototype for a 7" long slide. Knowing the quality of this fellow's other work hopefully that will continue with this particular project.
I don't know any of the details of who would manufacture it or anticipated production dates, this was mentioned in a conversation about other stuff, but just passing this along to offer a ray of hope in case anyone's life has been incomplete without one.
