Competition in-house ...
... Now there has been a six-inch version of the Target Champion for almost three years. The latter was created as a cooperation of S & W importer Wischo and the Stuttgart tuning specialist Kurt Tschofen, because the Performance Center did not yet produce a corresponding 6" pistol at the turn of the millennium. Smith & Wesson delivered the pistol with a five-inch sled and barrel as a basic weapon; Tschofen fit the 6” barrels of Lothar Walther. In order to increase the foreload and at the same time extend the line of sight, Tschofen provided the tube with a muzzle weight in a slide contour.
... were perfectly fitted inside and out, with evenly polished or matt glass bead-blasted surfaces and cleanly defined edges.
... From the factory, the trigger of the Longslide broke at very good, but not spectacular 1400 grams. No flaw can be found in the dry characteristics with a uniformly increasing load in advance, clean pressure point and "out of the box" decently adjusted trigger stop. Since both the BDS and the DSB for large-caliber pistol shooting allow trigger resistors of at least 1000 g, the trigger of the Tschofen pistol was revised again in Stuttgart. The result: the same characteristic, but a reduced trigger resistance of only 1200 grams.
... even the most fanatical precision fan should not mind the results: The Longslide produced its smallest hit image from the Ransom rest with the 95 grs partial jacket cartridge from Magtech (22 millimeters). Among the three types of reloaded ammunition, it preferred the combination of a 127 grs heavy high-speed shell from Handler & Natermann before 4.5 grains N 340 (23 mm). Tschofen's 6" variant could even outbid this - the same hand-held laboratory brought a tip scattering circle of 15 mm, while the Lapua CEPP was ahead with 21 mm in the factory cartridges. For comparison: A Les Baer Premier II Longslide tested in VISIER-Special No. 17 managed a comparison of 44 factory laboratories in the caliber 9 mm Luger from the RansomRest a best performance of 16 millimeter scattering circle (123 grs VM-KSt from Norma), second place was occupied with the same cartridge with 21 mm, but from a different production lot
... But if you don't mind the appearance of the running weight, you get the Tschofen version, a weapon that is equivalent in balance and equipment for around 100 euros less, which may even shoot a little better. In view of the fine workmanship and outstanding shot performance, the steep price of both versions also seems justified.
