Not maximimum length for "class." It is the maximum length sight radius for NRA Bullseye, Outdoor Pistol, now known as Precision Pistol competition. The Bomar extended sight rib was fixed at the maximum length. S&W made a 5 1/2 inch M41 barrel with an adjustable extended front sight. The long barrel S&W was the maximum length too. You will see slides on custom bullseye guns without sight ribs with extended front sights too.

The red dot sights pretty much did the fancy iron sights in. FWIW the standing record was fired by Hershel Anderson, an AAMU shooter, with irons in the mid 70s. Most likely with a Bomar rib just like the one in the picture.

This one originated as a Baer. Went through Severn's shop too. I sent it to KC Crawford for a new Kart barrel, Marvel disconnector cut, a Red Buff scope mount, and a Aimpoint 9000SC.

Then there are the 22LR conversions for the 1911. Nelson makes one that will do what a high master requires. Mounted on a pre series II Kimber Super Match, with a KC Crawford Battle Axe roll trigger and a Aimpoint 9000SC.

This is an O-L-D thread... Think I'll add a few.. One thing different about this forum, something I like, is that when these get dug up nobody makes a big deal about it, they carry on the conversation and enjoy what's been posted. The information, ideas and stories mean just as much today as the day they were originally typed upon the screen.

Had this one built on a Springfield 1911 in the Mid 90s.. Kart barrel, Burris bullseye scope, and lots of internal love.
