Oh man yeah, AMT Hardballer!
Les Baer offers at least one 6" model.
sooo.. why no one come up with an 8" 1911 or such? too much slide to move??

Take it from an old Bullseye shooter , those long-slides are hard to shoot well . Extended sight radius was the original thought behind these . Unless one is an extremely " hard holder " & has young eyes that can focus on a front sight they don't help ones scores . With optics / red dot sight radius becomes moot . With more reciprocating weight , softer springs required recoil impulse is prolonged & follow-thru much more vital . So unless your fundamentals / technique are rock solid , stick with a Gov't size 5" .
AMT guns are IMHO best avoided . For every one that worked , more than a few were problematic . Don't believe it , then ask how many nationally known 'smiths will build a custom gun based on one ?
If one is serious most probably a custom built would be best . The Baer guns are generally fit too tight & barrel fit ( even with the 1.5" guarantee ) leave something to be desired .

EAA Girsan (Turkish made) makes a 10mm longslide, so I’m led to beleive they may also in .45 acp

Bruin - Dan Wesson Firearms
We took note of the growing demand for 10mm handguns, and we responded with the Bruin. The first long-slide 1911 from Dan Wesson, the Bruin comes with a 6-inch barrel, which allows full-power 10mm loads as much time as possible to use their powder charge. The Tritium fiber optic front…

this thing looks like a beast. 10MM though... and rather expensive.

I think Dan Wesson and Kimber also make longslides. The DW alongside is the Bruin and the Kimber long slide is the LS Target.
