The Liebenberg Modular Pistol was designed specifically for NRA Action Shooting (Bianchi Cup). Widely regarded as the most accurate 1911 based pistols made, these guns were built in 45, 38 Super and 9mm. The system relied on a frame-mounted barrel that was fixed to a spherical bushing housed in a one-piece aluminum nose section that also secured the electronic sight. The rear of the barrel was supported by a wide link in place of a traditional swinging link. The fact that the sight plane and barrel were secured to the same sub assembly (the frame) maximized the accuracy potential of the pistol. The nosepiece was also designed as part of the support for the Barricade match. A second nosepiece with a fixed sight replaced the optical nosepiece for matches where iron sights were required. This particular pistol had a roller activated 1.5lb trigger mechanism that produced a revolver style release that was favored by shooters who were familiar with the action of a revolver but wanted the added accuracy and quick follow-up of the pistol. The first perfect score in NRA sanctioned Action Shooting competition was fired with one of these guns in the inaugural California State Championship in 1986.
