Kamkaze Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 I went up and took measurements of the new “limpro” small frame with calipers. I’m going to take some measurements of my stock 1 and give y’all comparisons. That way you can measure your own and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamkaze Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) So so what I have found from taking measurements of the IFG stock 1 and SF Limpro is that the differences in size are very small. Measurements on the stock 1 were taken with the EGD grips so they are thinner than stock. Here is what I found. D is slide width. B is grip width. I’m sure I can take more measurements if there is something specific you want to know. A. Was hard to measure consistently between the two because of the finger grooves on the Stock 1. Stock 1 Limpro A. 53.75 mm 60 mm B. 28.8 mm 30 mm C. 73 mm 74mm D. 25.5 mm 25.5 mm E. 31 mm 35mm Edited January 11, 2018 by Kamkaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Interesting how the small frame was BIGGER across every dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamkaze Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 It very well could have been grips with the width side to side, and front to back could be the finger grooves. One of you with a stock 2 or 3 should take measurements of yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotDefense Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 If the new limpro has checking front and rear that's more than likely where the material increase is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haiedras Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 How jebus...all this hand wringing over small vs large frames. I have small frames in the US. The major differences apart from what measured above is: The trigger bar is differentThe firing pin is differentAll other internals are identical.I'm glad they're bringing small frames in. The four I have came in almost 7-8 years ago...and there's no premature chipping of the slide where the barrel hood lockup occurs. Cry me a fricking river, I've handled both and the small frames felt better in my hands. Geez, you guys would bitch about a fricking BJ from a Victoria's secret model.

Well for some it might be the added cost of buying the small frame magazines if they only have large frames now. That’s not exactly pennies.

haiedras Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 That is true...but only if you're dead set on a limpro. Not like the limpro is going to make us shoot any better or worse than a stock 2 or 3...and I've shot all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srrch Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Eventually yes that’s the hope.I would personally rather have the large frame. The Lim Pro's large frames can be converted to any other caliber. LimPro large frame 9mm can be shot in IDPA ESP, SSP, USPSA Prod. With a .45 ACP conversion it can be shot in IDPA CDP, and USPSA Limited 10. This was the beauty of the large frame Lim Pro. A better marketing effort could have made this platform more successful.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElMateo487 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 So much confusion in this thread. Trying to get a hold on what is right/wrong. Are we saying the following?- Large and Small frames are the same size externally when gripping them. They only differ in internals. - small frames take CZ mags- The new Limpro is a black chrome small frame? Same dimensions otherwise of a Limpro- new Limpro has a square trigger guard. Basically. In short the new Limpro is just the old Limpro but black and takes CZ mags, and has different internals sizes.

MemphisMechanic Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) 23 hours ago, BoldasLions said: Hi: What version is on top and bottom? Large frame versus small frame. The large frame needs a long enough ejection port to deal with the 10mm cartridge. Doesn’t matter if your large frame is 9mm or .45 or 10mm, it has the longer ejection port and thus a bit less locking lug contact with the slide.

DenverDave Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The cost of stocking small frame mags is one thing....but if you live in a state like Colorado where there is a 15 round limit....EAA will NOT ship them here....frankly it is a pain in the butt to get mags for 9mm and 38 Super.

Are CZ mags any easier to find than Tanfos? If so, big point for the new Limited Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelsonAK Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I have a bazillion (ok... only 20) large frame 9mm magazines, and CDNN or Greg Cote put them on sale all the time. Last sale was like $12 or something like that. Anyway... with my preexisting condition (large frame tanfos) a large frame is more attractive to me.... however. Meh. No big deal either way.

Kamkaze Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 They should arrive in the US late spring early summer at the latest. There is only one in the US right now and that's the one at shot. I am hoping to have time to borrow it and run it through its paces this week. Its obviously stock and will have to remain that way until more reach the US and I will send one to PD to completely work over. I am going to get weight, and trigger pull in both SA and DA measured, is there anything else yall are wanting as far as specs? 46 minutes ago, SCTaylor said: So [mention=60271]patriotdefense[/mention] and@kamkaze what’s the story?

SCTaylor Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Harrumph! Thanks Kamkaze. I was just wanting to handle one in person. Patriot is just down the road from me and I want to check out the Stock 1 and new Lim Pro. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
