Stumbled across a Springfield Omega Linkless 1911

[vierdo]

I was at Target last week and stumbled across some Consignment 1911's that they have for sale, I only had enough money for one, so I left a very cool collectible 1911 behind...which surprisingly isn't listed on their used inventory web page.

Now that Ive found the time to do research I wish I had the spare money to pick it up, because its priced around $750 and apparently is a rare pistol...GunsAmerica has one listed at $1300 U.S. so I thought I'd post this in case some CGN'r has been looking for one.

What makes this unique is that its a linkless design, with 2 ported barrels one .45 and one 10mm Blued frame and Blued ported Long slide with some wear...here's a link to a review if anyones interested.

IIRC the idea behind the Omega was to build a 10mm pistol that could shoot a steady diet of maximum loads in 10mm and survive. This was after the Colt Delta started having wear issues. Quite an interesting design, sort of a scaled up Sig lockup. Pretty cool.
