Glock with a metal frame???

[Marswolf]

CCF RaceFrames, LLC. makes frames for Glocks in Aluminum, Stainless Steel and Titanium. Since this is a frame, it is "the gun" as far as BATFE is concerned so it has to go through a FFL.

Among the options are a 1911 grip angle.

All your current Glock parts just drop into the new frame.

It adds a bunch of weight to the pistol and a hefty price as an accessory. Prices go up to $349.95 for AL or Ti next week, so order today!!!

I saw one of these recently in a gun shop but have never fired one. Anyone here have any experience with these or know anything about them?

Dumb question, but if it has a 1911 grip angle, would it not have a magazine problem?

From the pictures here and others I have seen the grip angle is the same but the backstrap is cut down and has different inserts. So standard Glock mags work fine, you just end up with a 35 ounce or so Glock instead of a 22 ounce Glock, which is what they want for fast action shooting.

I was shooting my all stainless SW 4586 Sunday and then switched to a recently acquired Glock 30 and there is a huge and very noticeable difference in recoil you get when you shoot them back to back. I usually shoot Glock to Glock and you don't notice that much recoil difference but that extra 17 ounces or so really makes a difference.

The guy that runs the TAC2 IPSC matches has one. It feels just like a 1911 gripwise and the weight is ALOT heavier. Throw a Dawson magwell on it and you got yourself a helluva limited gun.

Misposted above. The $349.95 price is for AL or Stainless Steel, not Titanium. In fact Ti isn't even available right now.

I transferred one for a customer. It is actually uglier than the stock item. I am told that it improves trigger pull some. Frankly I dont see the point but hey, what do I know?

If you were looking for a designer/pretty gun it would be kind of neat to have the Titanium heat cycled for some interesting color combinations.

LWD is making slides now as well, so if you want a glock without buying a glock, you could buy the slide/barrel/innards from LWD then buy one of these frames. Talk about frankenstein!

Under the rules in USPSA US Appendix D7 and D8 it does not appear to be legal in Limited or Lim 10. Good question for Amidon.
