lawboy Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I hear such things exist. Does anyone here have one? Where can they be purchased, how heavy are they, pics, issues, etc? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I've heard of tungsten guide rods, grip panels and mag wells but not an actual frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Miles Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 That would be one heavy frame! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROY NEAL Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 If you have the $$, then contact Brandon at SV. Ya never know what you can arrange............until you ask. The Titanium frame/slides are not cheap. They have made a few of these for clients and the prototype had a great serial as well. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawboy Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 No. I am thinking of tungsten. I can get a titanium grip frame from PT. I know they are out there. I know Johnny Lim has built at least one gun using a tungsten grip frame for a European customer, who is reportedly a large, muscular gentleman. I guess I will ask Johnny about it at the next match.

Metallurgist Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 As I understand it tungsten would be more prone to cracking from fatigue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amish_rabbi Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 He was making a joke that with a gun that heavy even if he wasn't built before simply using the gun will make him muscular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRush Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 If one were interested in knowing how much weight it would add, you could use the weights and density of say the PT aluminum and PT steel, and solve for the weight of a tungsten grip.
