Longest semi barrel you're aware of

TXAZ · June 1, 2019, 08:57 AM

Excluding hunting handguns, are you aware of any handguns with longer than a 6" barrel?
I know Sig makes a 6" Mastershop series P226, but not sure if anyone else makes something that size or slightly longer.

BillM · June 1, 2019, 09:41 AM

Several 22 auto's are 6+. Revolvers aren't too hard to find with longer barrels.
Semi-auto centerfire pistols are out there if you look. Artillery Luger, Automag,
Desert Eagle and Wildey come to mind. Pretty much any of the AR/AK based
pistols are available in almost any barrel length. I've seen a 7" 1911, but they aren't
common. Heck--the Glock 17L and 24 have barrels that are just a touch over 6".

Don't know why you would exclude "hunting" handguns...

The classic Ruger Mk I Target comes to mind...historically, the Navy and Artillery Lugers... and others already mentioned.

There were some "longslide" 1911A1s made a coupled decades ago. Not just one-offs but commercially produced, in small numbers...but I forget who did it, now..AMT??? maybe??

Generally if it has a 6" or longer barrel, someone will say its a hunting or target handgun.

Kkm makes 7 inch Glock barrels

Ricklin · June 1, 2019, 12:54 PM

They had or have barrels 6" and longer.

Ruger made a number of 8" & 10" Mark IIs, and Browning offered their Buck Mark with similar lengths.

**Aguila Blanca** · June 1, 2019, 02:22 PM

I have heard of 7-inch and 8-inch 1911s, but I've never seen one.

sevt_chevelle · June 1, 2019, 02:37 PM

10" Desert Eagle.

RickB · June 1, 2019, 05:51 PM

AMT made 7" 1911s in both .45 and 10mm, in the '80s.
I think the 10mm version was called "Javelina".

Rembrandt · June 1, 2019, 05:53 PM

Got a 14" (44 mag) for my Desert Eagle.

Jim Watson · June 1, 2019, 06:13 PM

Jim Hoag built a 1911 with multiple uppers to eleven inches.

Auto5 · June 1, 2019, 08:38 PM

I seem to recall some TC Contenders with 14" barrels, but those are hunting/target pistols. Oops, those aren't semis.

wild cat mccane · June 1, 2019, 11:34 PM

Barrel are the glock replacement barrels. 9" or more.

Tanfoglio puts out some longer barrel autos in the high dollar range. Witness Match Extreme and Hunter at 6"

USNRet93 · June 2, 2019, 09:58 AM

This with other caliber variations..6.02inch

I've seen 16" bbls for 1911's advertised.
Here's one: https://www.sportsmansguide.com/prod...el-set?a=44606

Not just that but most 5.56 AR pistols have longer than a 7.5" bbl.

P5 Guy · June 3, 2019, 09:01 AM

SuperMatic Citation with a 7 inch bull barrel.

Jim Watson · June 3, 2019, 09:08 AM

Well, if you are getting into .22s, there were High Standard "space guns" at 8 and 10".
I once had a Walther Olympia with 9" barrel.

In centerfires, H&K offered an 8" "hunting barrel" for the P9s .45 ACP.

Theohazard · June 3, 2019, 02:33 PM

Roni makes a carbine conversion kit for Glocks with a 16” replacement barrel. You can swap the barrel by itself without using any of the rest of the conversion parts, giving you a regular Glock 17 with a 16” barrel.

sarge912 · June 3, 2019, 03:33 PM

My AR pistols are 10 1/2 my AK pistol is 10, I have heard of 12" barrels for AR's but haven't owned one. My Mark IV is 6.88. My Mark II Bull barrel Target is 6.75. My Ruger Charger is 10".

darkgael · June 4, 2019, 02:59 PM

I had a ten inch Falcon barrel on my High Standard Victor.
