The Javelina Hunting Model Longslide pairs a 7 in. barrel with a stainless slide and frame showcasing brushed flats and a matte, longitudinally serrated anti-glare top rib. The right side of the slide is marked "HUNTING MODEL," while the left side reads "JAVELINA 10 MM AUTOMATIC" with the IAI logo.
This single-action, short-recoil 1911 uses a standard bushing and plug system and offers a 9+1 capacity in 10mm. Controls include a left-side manual thumb safety and a grip safety. The flat mainspring housing is vertically serrated for consistent traction.
Sighting is a highlight: a ramped blade front with a green fiber-optic rod pairs with a fully adjustable square-notch rear featuring green fiber-optic light pipes. Rear cocking serrations are vertical, and the full-length serrated top rib reduces glare along the sighting plane.
Ergonomics and handling are supported by a skeletonized trigger with a lightening slot, a checkered spur hammer, and black textured grip panels with IAI medallions. IAI-marked longslide examples are documented circa 1990–1991, aligning this pistol with the early 1990s production era.
