As promised, brief range report on my freshly built all metal G17 with CCR aluminum frame and all stock parts. After 2 range visits tot he total of 250 rounds slow fire or otherwise, not a single malfunction, not that I expected any. have shot many different pistols, including a number of guns with polymer frames, and I must say my alloy G17 is by far the best pistol I've ever handled. In fact it is so easy to shoot well that it almost takes all fun of target shooting. I will trust my life to this gun as a primary defence pistol any time and intend to make it my carry gun as well. The fact that I need to wathch the buffer for ware and tear and perfom regular maitanence on the pisotl does not bother me at all. I do it with any firearm anyway. So this is to add to my earlier vote of complete satisfaction with and complete trust in Larry's product. P.S. Although I have shot many polymer guns in the past, including Glocks in every caliber, I would have never bought one (I actually owned Beretta Px4 and traded it in), for no other reason than a personal idiosincazy to plastic pistols. CCR frames opened the Glock world for me.

All, I just built my first CCRF Glock with a G17 aluminum frame. Have not had a chance to shoot it yet (tomorrow), but will post if I encounter any problems. Except for the frame, everything else is a stock Glock. I am not a competitor, military, LE or other armed professional, just a regular civilian gun enthusiast. I have owned and shot a number of different pistols, including aluminum framed Sig P226 in .40 and CZ P01 in 9mm (not the same thing, I know, but a good reference point for alloy frames). P01, for example, which is based on CZ 75 - one of the most reliable LE and military gun platforms in the world, does require 300-500 rounds shot through it before malfunctions stop. And we all know about 1911s, regardless of the brand. I understand that stock Glocks are expected to operate 100% reliably out of the box, but it seems that most of complaints with CCRF frames come from people who modify their guns for competition etc.. I did talk to a couple of people (firearms professionals), who have had experience with CCRF frames, and neither tried to talk me out of getting one (they would have if they had experienced or were aware of any problems). Hope not to offend anybody, but I am not surprised, however, to hear of problems with the guns modified for competition or otherwise. CCRF specifically explains on their web site that the frames are designed for stock parts only. Another thought – perhaps we should hear from Robar Extreme pistol owners since the company uses the CCRF frames.
