HEY, GUYS!
THE QUESTION IS FOR A PLAIN JANE LONG SLIDE 45acp 1911. i think this is clear enough, no? f:P:2:

As it is, the price is quite good.

Now, for those who long for a cheap longslide 10mm. Auto pistol, this is an entirely different set of parameters and not an easy one.

If you want a cheaper alternative, why someone hasn't yet found a way to import 460 Rowland drop-in slide and barrel kits here, in Canada? For about $260.00 U.S. you'd be able to convert your Good Ole Norinco and get 44 Mag performance in a 1911-size gun.

Wolverine, are you listening? :HFU:

I think this is pretty simple. The thunderbolt is an awesome looking gun with checkered front strap, rail, adjustable rear sight, front and rear serrations, extended ambi controls, etc @ $555

Just make the long slide with the same features and charge a few bucks more and they will fly off the shelf

You are quoting old stock price, new Thunderbolts will be approx. in the $7 - $800 dollar range due to changes in the exchange rate. All our old in stock guns are amazing value for money, please check our web page for details.
 
I love my Military Enhanced, and it was an outstanding value (as is the Thunderbolt at $555) but there has not been a 50% increase in the dollar, why the 50% increase in price? Design changes or upgrades?

Exactly. I don't think I'd want a10mm in a non-forged frame. If you want an inexpensive long slide 10mm, pick up the Para Hunter while you can.

The SAM is perfect for 9 and 45. Keep it simple based on the thunderbolt.

It is not just the exchange rate, old stock purchased at old prices and when the dollar was on a par, or very close. Take $555 plus 25% = $693. Stainless are also dearer, my figures are approx. any way you look at it, our in stock guns offer great value and their prices are probably unrepeatable.
 
Mr Wolverine, sorry if I missed it earlier in the thread but any time frame / ETA on this project?
(And the basic blued .45 is all I need :))

I hope to have a final drawing, prices and approx. ETA available this week. I am thinking that I will take pre-orders as the margin is small and I don't want to over order by a huge amount.
 



These are the specifications of the new SAM Long Slide model. Caliber .45 ACP, 6 inch barrel. Fiber optic front sight, adjustable LPA white dot rear sight. Other details as per drawing with the addition that the front strap will be checkered. BLUE only (4140 Black Oxide)

Price is $799.00 plus shipping and tax.

In order to make this happen I need to see pre-orders with $100 deposits. Deposits will be refundable in full if we do not order these from SAM. We will be set up to accept pre orders by end of day. 14th April 2015.
 
Approximate ETA?

Is the 'blue' the same finish that is on the Military Enhanced?

Which model of LPA sights?

Thanks,

FF
 
Sorry, can't see myself spending a grand out the door on these. Other will disagree. Good luck with it. (That wasn't said snarkily - its genuine)
