You won’t find an assembly line at Texas based Republic Forge. That’s because they build their premium 1911 pistols the old fashioned way. One at a time. By hand. The result? Some of the finest examples of the iconic John Moses Browning semi auto design available today. The Republic Forge Long Slide offers the increased velocity of a longer barrel, coupled with the increased accuracy of a longer sight radius, making it a great choice for target shooting or competition.
