Novelty M1911 Construction

[Peppersfan2]

Ok here is an idea for constructing a novelty M1911 pistol. Please tell me if its possible. I know that it would be impractical but there would be nothing like it. This would require the skills of a gunsmith for sure. Ok here is the plan.

1.Modify a M1911 pistol and increase the overall length of the pistol from
8.25 in to about 12 inches give or take an inch or two.

2.Convert it to .400 Corbon

3.Coat it and do some silver ingraving.

What are your thoughts on this? Impractical and oversized? Yeah but I still think it would be kickass. Can you imagine it as a concealed carry? If that was even possible. I know this whole post seems kinda mall ninja but its just a novelty firearm.

There have been longslide 1911's made for a long long time. Don't know what you're going to shoot with a .400 Corbon but I've found that the plain old .45 ACP is pretty effective on humans. Engraving like an old west saloon show gun?

It will be a unique pistol.

Doable, and it would be unique, but JMB would roll over in his grave. If it'd make you happy though don't let that stop you. Be prepared to spend a large chunk of change.

What's the membership rate at the range you shoot at? I want a day pass.
