I like the looks of the long slide AMT Hardballer, just wondering if anything like that is made now.

Your best bet is an STI Range Master or Target Master 6".
Both come in 9mm and 45 ACP variants. |

You can order a long slide from Caspian in whatever configuration you want.
AMT is junk. If you want a longslide, have one built. ETA......I have a 10mm longslide.

In all fairness, available longslides all tend to be 6", the AMT was a 7". It's amazing how with their piss poor reputation AMT guns still bring over $700 on gunbroker.

I haven't got anything from them yet, but I dealt one of their gunsmiths before he went to work for them. Given their ties to Dan Wesson I'd have to be convinced either way about them. But my current gunsmith does buy some of their parts for his custom builds and he's been happy with the quality on their 6" slides and barrels, so it is something positive to say about them. Of course, I'm still desirous of an AMT Long Slide just for the nostalgia factor. I've always heard that if they're lubed properly the galling problems they're infamous for do not occur, so I'm willing to try adding one to my collection. |

I've always heard that if they're lubed properly the galling problems they're infamous for do not occur, so I'm willing to try adding one to my collection. I can't say anything experience based on the Longslide but I had a basic Government Model from when Galena Industries owned AMT. The only malfunctions I had were ammo related(cheap bulk Cabelas reloads-$40 for 300 at the time) or magazine related-I couldn't resist a 15 round stick mag, and it never did feed more than 5 at a time. GI or Mec-Gar mags, mo problem at all. A friend of mine has an Irwindale AMT government model, and his friend has a Covina. Those two work well too. Cheaply made, yes, but neither of them have a complaint. I don't think the absolute shit reputation is deserved, but I'm not willing to spend $700+ like they tend to bring on gunbroker. I missed a longslide locally for $450 a few years ago. That, I might pay. |
