The 1911 has very good possiblitys of making highly accurate guns of. I have seen numerous pistols with extreme accuracy built on 1911's.
Best gun I have built was built on 1911 style in 9mm and shot groups less than 1/2" with Norma safety ammo. (very heavy loaded police ammo with TC bullet).
But I also know of a few P210's that shoot similar accuracy from .30 cal with geco bullets.
But I have never seen any big differnece betwen long or short barrels on 25 meters accuracyvise.
