The Twenty-Year Pistol... .450 SMC 1911 Longslide

[Diamondback]

Tyler at Fusion confirmed that they cut feedramps for FMJ Only by default and I'll need to have it throated for hollowpoints. We were discussing a second carry top-end at 5", and the plan there is to have his people prefit the barrel/slide lugs and throat the ramp before it ships so all I need to do is file the slide rails and ejector slot and figure out the link.

Nelson Leather and I are already in talks about a Last Man Standing-style dually refit of their 58-H holster to accommodate the 5" slide and Old Ugly (with a capacity to swap the second holster for a carrier with two of my long Wilson ETM's), with a custom finish to complement the piece riding in it. (This is going to be more like a collaboration, they build the leather but leave it unfinished and I apply the finish coat.)

I guess I'm just used to ramped barrels feeding almost any type of bullet. It's been a LONG time since I had a 1911 without a ramped barrel.
