A long slide 1911 is 6 inches and I believe thats as long as you can go.

I have to agree. The longest barrell 1911 I have seen is 6". I have several books, and have never even seen any "experimental" or "prototype" builds, either.

bet you could do a 7.5 barrel out of a 6" slide though...

are the AMT's a decent weapon? any issues with them...where do i buy one, i googled it but didnt see any.

does the AMT use standard 1911 parts other than slide and barrel? ie: trigger parts, etc

You have to find a used one. I haven't had any trouble with my hardballer but some people call them junk. Mine has never failed and is very accurate. I haven't had to replace anything but I think most everything is interchangeable.
