chowellacsbd Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Building another 2011 in 9mm and am torn between an SDC or an SWDC frame. Are there any benefits to either type, other than maybe the small amount of weight addition on the SWDC?

zzt Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 IMO, the wide frame provides more bearing surface for the bottom of the slide and will wear more slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 A little more meat for the scope mount screws (if you're building an open pistol.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
818-DVC Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the swdc the same width as an STI slide, where sdc is narrower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike cyrwus Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 IMO, the wide frame provides more bearing surface for the bottom of the slide and will wear more slowly. the slide doesnt usually "bear" on the wide part of the dustcover, and contact forward of the rails is usually incidental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It will add some weight which isn't really needed for a 9mm, but I do like the way they look.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRush Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The standard SDC fits in many standard 1911 holsters if you care about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v1911 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My 9mm Gans Gun was built using a SWDC. It was a choice made more for asthetics than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
