Great looking gun and no doubt it'll sell here, but why only 4 posts in almost a year and a half?

To answer your question, I've seen these go from $1000‐$1800. In all fairness it's been a little while though.

The bad thing about them is they don't make parts anymore, at least not that I'm aware of.

Thanks for your reply, I haven't posted much on here I usually end up on the classifieds drooling over the 1911's. I spend most of my time long range shooting so I'm in snipers hide a bit more.

 

Wow, never seen that Springer model before?!
external extractor? Didn't know Springfield ever did that.
Def a unique pistol!

 

If I remember correctly the slide assembly was made by Peter Stahl in Germany. I could be close on that[emoji23]

Your correct a calaboration between Peter Stahl and springfield that ended abruptly. They have a lifetime warranty but don't make parts (not sure how that works). Duel extractors on this guy yeah I'm a bit afraid to shoot it but I have.

 

Didn't even know these existed until recently. I'd bet that was manufactured in December of 1989 (just got a SA 1911-A1 with a SN that is close, very close).

 

Yeah the 90's for sure. I picked it up close to 8 years ago and was looking for the other barrels that some came with. 45 and 9mm I believe maybe 40 I dont remember. People wanted way too much for them so it went in the safe.

 

Henchman,
You are correct sir.

I have 2, had 3. 10mm, ported, a pair of 5" and a 6". Sold one of the 5's to a well known gunsmith.

The top end is Peters Stahl. At one time after the Springfield collaboration, they were building and importing or trying to import their own 1911s. Don't think this went anywhere but do remember visiting their booth at SHOT many years ago.

The dual extractors are unique, the right side is a significant hook, the left has a taper that helps to pull the cartridge out and keep it aligned but also releases or allows the cartridge base to pivot out on the ejector. The system allowed barrel changes for 9mm, 10mm and 45acp. 10mm was real popular with these guns during the 90's. The lock up was more like a Glock or S&W M&P rather than traditional Browning design 1911.

Parts for the top end are hard to find, the frame is standard 1911. Some of the parts could be made by a decent machinist. Extractors are the biggest problem and potentially the hardest to make. Wire EDM would be the most likely manufacturing process. Barrels would be an issue but fortunately it will take a lot to wear them out. The barrels do have polygonal rifling like the Glocks.

I'll try to help if there are questions. No idea as to current values, I think I got $750 about 15 years ago for the 5" I sold.

Hi Jim, I purchased my 6in. Omega in 10mm, I’m not to familiar with 1911 style hand guns I never had one until this one I have had it for a few years now but I want to get a new front sight any idea where to purchase. And would you know the proper style of this sight, the style I have seen while looking on line for 1911’s are the slide on style, but as you know these require a different type, I haven’t spent a great amount of time looking on line but I seem your thread and thought that you would know the type and style that would work on my omega, thanks in advance for your time any help would be appreciated, take care.

 

Almost bought one after seeing Steven Segal shoot up a Jamaican posse with one in each hand.

 

Segal got all of the Jamaican Posse but King Willie. He got away when Segal’s second extractor broke. King Willie went on the make more trouble. Unfortunately Willie was killed by an Illegal Alien in an alley in NYC.

 

There was one on gunbroker real recently, might still be there.

 

Scott,
At this time I haven't followed parts for the Omegas. When I added an optic to my 6" gun the friend that did the work built a "plug" for the front sight slot to be flush with the top of the slide. If I recall correctly the profile in the slot is fairly simple and locks in with the set screw from the muzzle end of the slide. You could remove the front sight to determine if this is something you'd like to try.
PM if you wish, I'll try to help.
Jim
