jasmap Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Paul, if you need great pics then just send me the gun for a year or two and I'll drop it off to Yamil and let him photograph it. Of course I'll need to shoot it for that year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralChang Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Here's a few pics of a pair of six inch guns I picked up from Infinity. They're six inch guns (bushing barrels) that use a 5inch guid rod and recoil plug. They lengthened the frame rails which allowed them to do this. Guns are very accurate and forgiving (sloppy to no sight picture) The slide retains a standard spring tunnel and government profile. The slides are tri-topped and internally lightened.

HSMITH Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Sheldon, any idea why the frame rails had to be lengthened? I have been running 5" recoil systems in mine from the beginning.... EDIT: forgot to mention, those are some pretty darn sweet looking guns. I like the clean lines a lot. Edited January 7, 2008 by HSMITH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a "target" frame as they called it. Slide to frame fit is really tight and smooth. I wonder how much weight came off the slide (spring tunnel) as a result. It looks cleaner in my opinion than a gun with the long stirrup cut. The guns aren't too heavy. How do you run a 5inch recoil rod in your guns, are you cutting the spring tunnel from the front or are you using some kinda special recoil plug?

Radical Precision Designs Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Sheldon, any idea why the frame rails had to be lengthened? I have been running 5" recoil systems in mine from the beginning....EDIT: forgot to mention, those are some pretty darn sweet looking guns. I like the clean lines a lot. That is a neat way of making a five into a six by lengthening the "middle". They are using a five inch long dust cover, rod and spring plug. By lengthening the gframe rails and moving the guide rod heads rest/location spot, it moves the whole works forward. This effectively trades the weight from the slide into the frame. This is a CNC "fed" program, which obviously now they have for future use. Obviously this set-up can only work by matching their frame and slide set-up, or (aftermarket) by cutting down the dust cover on a regular six inch slide and milling off the "longer" rail section on the "new" Inifinity frame. The frame should be a bit heavier. But, Howard, like you said, is a matter of "juggling" weight around from one component to the other. It is nice to have a major manufacturer come up with fresh ideas from the bottom up. This one reflects Infinity's "new" approach at making systems entirely dependents on their in house manufactured components. Unfortunately, lately it is becoming impossible to obtain/buy just frames from them. I guess they can barely meet their own demands. Busy place there, and great work and R&D. Kudos to Sandy and Brandon. Edited January 7, 2008 by Radical Precision Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Sheldon, thanks for the info. Venry too. I will second the kudos to SV for not staying in the 'box', I assumed it was more or less a "mid length" frame with the recoil shoulder moved forward with longer rails and matching slide but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something. Has me thinking PPC/Bianchi/tweener. Tweener = I could make one of those feel just like an edge for the guys that dig that feel, and give them an inch of sight radius free...... We all want cake, and we want to eat that cake, and we want it NOW! Looks like SV is working on making sure we can get our cake. Sheldon, I am using a special plug, 5" rod and spring. Less mass in the frame and recoil system, then I take the mass of the longer dustcover back out of the slide, at least on most of them. I am filling a smaller niche with my 6" guns, and that is OK with me. I only want to build a few very special guns per year and that is what I am doing. Think of the 6" guns I have posted as 'light 5" guns with a full 6" sight radius", plus a bit Your guns are very cool and unique. That is what I am trying to do as well, just in a bit different direction. I think it is super cool that we can all find what we want with so many different approaches!! I would really like to shoot a bunch of these different guns side by side and see what I see, and then hear what everyone else that shoots them saw....

turbocomp38s Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi General, Very nice looking 6 inch's guns. How long or what was the waiting time? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Spanish manufacturer SPS came with the idea of longer railed pistol some years ago. It never really caught in Europe AFAIK. The need to use a special proprietary recoil system seemed to have been the main drawback. SPS Long railed frame kit. Hope it will be the opposite for SV.

GeneralChang Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Turbocomp It took them about 3 months to get them finished. I placed a deposit in Sept and finished paying for them in Oct. Julien, The guns use a standard guide rod system, nothing proprietary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
