| M-1911 Models : Cylinder & Slide |
Cylinder & Slide has just celebrated its 20th anniversary in the business, which was first started by Bill Laughridge, in 1978. Bill's work is quite well-known in the shooting circles, and I dare say that his shop is producing some very interesting M-1911 models, plus several worth-mentionning parts. You can see Bill's models below:
Adventurer
The Cylinder & Slide Aventurer is one of the smallest 45 ACP semi-auto pistols on
the market. The Adventurer is thinner, only 1/2" longer, and the same height as a 5-shot 38 special revolver, plus it carries six shots with the knock down power that only the 45 AC
cartridge can provide. The Adventurer has a limited lifetime warranty on
workmanship and materials to the original purchaser.
