Bart, spend a little time behind one....

Bul, don't sell that that Benny blaster short, it may not have bells and whistles hanging off every corner but I know it is accurate, reliable, and has a great trigger.

My premise is this, if I can build a 6" gun that handles like an 5" and weighs what an 5" does but you gain an inch of sight radius where can you go wrong? I still have not met anyone that can truly call a shot that doesn't KNOW a 6" gun is a better tool after they shoot it. Ultralight isn't for everyone and ultralight is what I do in 6" guns, but the premise is the same regardless of who builds the gun.

Not at all, this is what I wanted when I discussed the slide cuts with Benny. The weight and balance is perfect for me. It is not an ultralight by any means but definitely lighter than my SV LDC . I wanted a simple no frills gun.

Have any of you weighted your compete slide (sights, etc)? I'm just curious how much weight is moving on all these different guns.

Mine is 13.3oz

Venry said the slide with internals weighs roughly 10.1 ounces. :surprise:

Here are a couple of the first bushing 6" gun built by Benny in 2003. It,s brother was used by Benny for quite a while untill someone just had to have it. I still think it is the best ballanced of all the 6" pistols he has built, but that is a personal thing. Front and back serations were milled off and the serations were put in the middle of the slide. The window cuts on the side and top are a bit more than the recent ones, but after many rounds I don't notice any trouble. Barrel is a Nowlin, and it is SLOW!!! I needed .2 grains more than my 5" pistol to make the same velocity, HOWEVER it is EXTREAMLY ACCURATE!! The best group I have shot with it is 1.5" at 50 yards for 5 rounds (wish I could do that all the time), and I average right around 2.5-3 most of the time. It has a standard spring plug, so a 5" spring is bearly compresed once assembled! A 14# spring feels like a 10# spring. BTW the last of the "bull barrel guns is owned by a friend of mine V.C.Gunfighter. I plan to have My 5" back up gun done sometime by Benny to look just like the 6". NO ONE builds a better 6" in My opinion and not only is he one of my longest sponsors he is one of My best friends!! Kurt Miller

...and if Benny ever feels a pressing need to move to New Zealand, I will use all my conciderable influence to make that happen for him!
