I see there are 3 ramp options none, you do it para / clark wilson / Nowlin whats the skinny? is one better than the other? can anyone fill me in on the pros and cons of either? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 C/P if you want a schumann bbl as they are easier to find in c/p, not sure they even make W/N cut Most other bbl's are avail in both cuts. I think the c/p is an easier cut with that said I probably own more guns with W/N cuts So figure out which bbl and then go from there or buy an uncut one so you have the option when you decide on your bbl.

rishii Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Schumann had an article on their website that basicly said C/P ramp was stronger but the W/N cut is more common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler2you Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 You'll have more frame choices if you go C/P. Phoenix Trinity doesn't do W/N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 The lisner improved c/p cut is my preference. As above check what cut your preferred barrel option is available with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I would have gone C/P or Lissner for my next two, but I decided to use Trubore blanks for both. So I had to go W/N. If you don't have to have one in a week or two, give Ed Minshew at JEM Guns a call. He can sell you a frame cut for an EVO grip or an STI grip, and he will put whatever ramp cut you want in it. He will also sell you a slide (in about 6 weeks) that will go on with a light interference fit. If you go with the STI grip, use his GS so you'll have minimal blending to do.

Aircooled6racer Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hello: Are you going to be able to mill the frame? If so cut it for a Clark/Para ramp. If you can't get a frame that you can get a barrel for easily right now. PT sell there frames with the Clark/Para ramp, STI sells there's with a Wilson/Nowlin. CK I am not sure off the top of my head. I am sure you can get all of those with no ramp cut also. I would look for the barrel you want to use first then go from there. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) the CK C/P cut has the lissner radius on it too. in fact most people now doing the C/P frames and barrels are really the L/C/P cut they just call it C/P.

sheepdog69 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Awesome I have a CK frame with C/P and a CK slide. Barrel choice is next. And grip. Should have the slide fitted this weekend if tools show up. Does anyone know the fit tolerance for slide to frame? .001? Or less .0005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
