My cousins first gun (Which I talked him in to).

Well he got it. I talked him into getting a 1911 for his first gun so he went with that. I was thinking RIA but we hit at least 20 shops in the York area and this one was in the first one we went into in Seven Valleys. It's a Springfield 1911A1 V16 Long Slide in .45 Super. He got it with original case, 2 mags and cleaning rod for $750 out the door. Has all the upgrades of the Loaded plus some with 6 inch barrel and corresponding slide, ported (the V16 refers to the 8 ports on each side) and full length guide rod. NOW he wants to buy an RIA Tactical.

Nice

Had never heard of a .45 super until now. Are they making a niche in the gun market? Nice looking gun by the way.

This gun comes with two springs. One for .45 ACP and +P and one for .45 super. You know what the ACP costs, the .45 Super is a little over a buck a round for the cheap stuff.

Calzaretta classifies this gun as "rare" because there was a limited run.

Several National Champions in various classes have used this gun.

Nice find!! It's not all that easy to get your hands on any longslide let alone one for 750....Dang what a find

Wow . . . . . . . .

Love a handgun with a long barrel. Reach out and touch someone.

First i have heard of the 45 super myself. $1 a round... better teach him about reloading.... FAST
