Dewberry Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Has anyone played around with one of these in competition? Or making one competition ready. Either the frame or a gun built from all lone wolf parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yes, both ways. I built a complete Timberwolf with their frame and slide. Also did one with a Caspian slide. I ran one in .40 in Limited for a few months and then one in 3Gun for a year before I switched to the M&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yes- I built one with my G35 top end- have shot two USPSA matches with it- shootes and points better than a stock Glock frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewberry Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Do they share parts with gen3 or 4 glocks? Specifically trigger parts and holsters. Did y'all stipple the frame or do anything to add grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 They worked with my Gen3 parts and holsters. I played with them before Gen4s came out and I do not think they have made any changes. I did not stipple the grip or frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Turned one in to a .40 open gun. Trigger parts are shared , the trigger guard is different so some holsters don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Mine uses the Gen 4 ejector housing and the late locking block. Other than these any Gen 3 parts work fine. I have a single frame with a G24, G35 and a G22/17 slide made up for it. I like the Timber Wolf frame much better than the stock Glock frame. I will be ordering a frame from them for my 19/23 carry gun also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 You have to use the G4 slim line from LW or Glock G4- housing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal82 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I have a compact version with a glock 19 slide on it and the frame is pretty sweet. I hope to have a review of the compact frame up soon at beyondthesights.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadcoyote Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Bowenbuilt: did you use a factory glock 24 slide or a lone wolf? I've been contemplating building out a stripped LW 24 slide with Glock parts, just keep hearing a lot of negative chatter about their slides being out of spec.

bowenbuilt Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I have both. I also have a number of other LW slides. I have not found any one of them out of spec, if anything they fit the gun tighter than the OEM slides. The sight cuts are tighter and I have had to hone the striker channels on some. The G24 using the LW slide is very accurate. I have never had a problem with a LW slide, I am sure someone may have but all of mine have been spot on.

Deadcoyote Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks for the feedback, I'm gonna go ahead and give it a shot. Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by honing the striker channel. Like the firing pin channel needed de burring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowenbuilt Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yes, the striker channel that the striker resides in was too tight to drive in the plastic sleeve. I had to hone it in order to get the sleeve to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadcoyote Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Bowenbuilt, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I ordered all my various parts today to proceed with this build up. For anyone else who's interested, LWD customer service says the firing pin channel issue is common but an easy fix for them since they work with their own products (obviously) all the time. If you buy a bare slide from LWD and add a channel liner for $3.48 they will install it in your slide for free pre shipping and ensure the firing pin channel is sized right. Just a heads up.
