Jim Clark, the pistolsmith from Shreveport, Louisiana, made a target pistol on the 1911 Colt frame that he called a Long Heavy Slide. He added almost two inches to the slide and barrel and added a heavy Bomar rib. The .38 wadcutter which I owned came with a test target fired at 50 yards from a Ransom Rest. The ten shot group was one ragged hole slightly less than 1" in diameter. Not too shabby for an inferior pistol.
