3" 1911 SSE Barrel

[Squirrel15]

So i tried searching to no avail, the closest FFL to me does not have a barrel to bring in a Colt Defender in 9mm through SSE. So my question to you fine folks, is how would I go about finding a barrel for them?

Thanks all.

Sarco has 1911 9mm barrels that are 7", 9" and 16". If you get the 16" barrel be sure to cut it down a little.

It's going to be tough. The problem with the 4" inch and below is the ramped barrel.
I don't know of a manufacture that makes a ramped barrel over 4".
1911's are the easiest to SSE, some are impossible.

Simple. Buy an extra barrel. Weld on a extension tube.

There you go. Get the Colt barrel and the 16" one from Sarco. Cut and weld as needed.

Cool, thanks for the help guys!

Won't work unless the 3" is a unramped design, which I doubt.
The barrels Sarco sell are unramped.

All you need is one extra barrel of the same one you already have. All your doing is welding on a tube of steel to lengthen one barrel. It does not have to rifled. The OD has to be the same, but the ID can be larger. A tube of steel is in the pennies. Welded on for a few bucks. Your not going to use it anyway. Just legal purposes.

This would work. Need to have access to a barrel and welder. Might be able to soft solder it on.

Yeah, I understood what chim said. I have noticed that lou comes through for any question asked with answers and usually pictures, I've seen the pictures of your collection and I am jealous.

I hadn't thought about that. Even better!
