I was talking to someone at the F Class shoot at Diggle this weekend who owns a Unicorn :-P who had heard that there is a variant of the 1911 long barrel pistol under development with a similar lever release mechanism assumed to be either 9mm or 45ACP.
Dunno how much truth there is in it but it sound like it could be fun.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Re: Lever release Pistol
I'll try to ignore the use ofthat blasphomous term :evil: :lol:
A lever-release 1911 would be awesome, especially if the lever could be placed where the safety catch normally sits. It would take quite a bit of miniturisation though. Did the rumour mill say who was planning/making it?

I agree if they do actually manage it I would be very interested

As I said I don't know if it's actually on the cards or would even get passed off, but I know what you mean :?

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: Lever release Pistol
Not fired a 1911 but wouldn't a Beretta 92 be a good start? The slide release is right on your thumb. Or are they all like that, I know chuff all about pistols. (Too young tongueout )
